Sony Slashes PS VR2 Price in a Last-Ditch Effort to Convince You That VR Isn’t Dead

Sony has some "great news" for all "those of you who have been waiting" to dive into virtual reality—because apparently, the only thing stopping the masses from embracing PlayStation VR2 was a slightly too-high price tag. After months of ignoring reality (the real one, not the virtual one), Sony has finally admitted that nobody was buying their headset and is now practically begging people to take one off their hands.

Starting in March, you can grab a PS VR2 for the low, low price of $399.99—which is still somehow more than a PlayStation 5 costs on sale. But don’t worry, that price includes “stereo headphones”—because nothing says “cutting-edge tech” like the kind of earbuds you’d get for free on an international flight.

But wait, there's more! If you really want to go all-in on Sony’s VR fantasy, you can get the "Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle" for the exact same price. That’s right, the game is so critically vital to the VR experience that Sony is just throwing it in for free.

The ‘Must-Play’ VR Games No One Will Actually Play

Sony wants you to know that it’s “never been a better time to jump into the action” because they’ve got so many great games for you to experience in stunning, nausea-inducing virtual reality! Recent hits (a generous term) include Alien: Rogue Incursion, Metro Awakening VR, and Skydance’s Behemoth—a game that, as far as we can tell, may or may not actually exist.

Future titles include Aces of Thunder (because flight simulators weren’t already dead enough), Dreams of Another (Sony’s marketing team, probably), and Hitman World of Assassination—which would be much more exciting if it weren’t just the same Hitman game you’ve already played, but now in VR, so you can finally experience the thrill of choking someone out in first-person.

Low-Latency Hand Tracking! (Because That Was Definitely the Issue)

Sony proudly announces support for “low-latency hand tracking”—a feature that lets you wiggle your fingers in front of your face in supported games. Because if there's one thing that’s been holding back mass VR adoption, it’s the inability to throw up finger guns in Waltz of the Wizard.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab a PS VR2 today and join the dozens of people still trying to convince themselves that this is the future of gaming.
