Sony's PlayStation VR2, originally priced at $550, is set to drop to $300 starting in March as sales stagnated. The headset was praised for its quality and performance but was hampered by its high price and the requirement of a PS5. Reports indicated Sony struggled to meet sales goals, prompting a pause in production due to excess inventory. The company delayed the price cut, likely due to manufacturing costs, but the future of the headset hinges on game availability and continued support from Sony to attract buyers.
"For those of you who have been waiting for the opportunity to jump into PlayStation VR2 and experience what this generation's innovative virtual reality system has to offer, we are happy to share some great news! Starting in March, we're reducing the recommended retail price (RRP) of PS VR2."
"The price, however, effectively told non-enthusiasts to stay away. And unlike Meta's cheaper Oculus headset, PS VR2 also required a standalone PS5 to work and wasn't backwards compatible with the original PS VR's library of games."
