The PlayStation VR2 gets a rare discount in this year's Days of Play sale

PSVR headsets are a great place to start for PlayStation fans who also want to try virtual reality. And now, PlayStation's Days of Play Sale is the perfect time to buy one. Right now, you can get the PlayStation VR2 headset in the US store for $299 (was $399) and in the UK store for £309.99 (was £399.99).

Days of Play is PlayStation's annual summer sale, kind of like a Black Friday event that takes place halfway through the year instead of near Thanksgiving. This particular discount will be active until 6/11 at 2:59AM EDT in the US or 6/10 at 18:59 BST in the UK.

The PlayStation VR2 launched in 2023, but it's still new enough that you can't expect to get a much lower discount than this. If you don't want to wait until Black Friday for a potentially slightly lower discount (if they offer one at all), I'd buy now.

The PlayStation VR2 Headset is PlayStation's flagship VR headset and will probably be for at least another three years. It features two 2000x2040 OLED displays capable of 4K HDR with 120fps, which is four times the resolution of the previous model. It comes with two PSVR 2 Sense controllers, a USB charging cable, and in-ear headphones with three sizes for earpieces. I'd suggest buying now unless you want to wait for Black Friday.

This latest version of PlayStation's flagship VR headset features two 2000x2040 OLED displays and 4K HDR with 120fps, which is four times the resolution of the original PSVR headset. The PlayStation VR2 headset comes with two PSVR 2 Sense controllers, a USB charging cable, and in-ear headphones with three sizes for earpieces. In the UK, you can get everything in the standard bundle plus Horizon Call of the Wild for the same price, so I'd suggest selecting that option.

The PlayStation VR2 headset comes with two VR2 Sense controllers with straps, a USB charging cable, and in-ear stereo headphones with three sizes for earpieces. In the UK, you can also select a bundle that comes with a PlayStation Store voucher for Horizon Call of the Mountain for the same price. I'd recommend that one if you live in the UK, considering it doesn't cost extra for the game.

The PlayStation VR2 is the best console experience we've had with a VR headset. In our PlayStation VR2 review, we rated 4.5 out of five stars for its improvements on the past PlayStation VR headset, such as the "superb image quality," including 4K with HDR at 120fps. It features two 2000x2040 OLED displays, intelligent eye-tracking, and up to a 110-degree field of view.

These enhancements, along with its "simple setup" and "pin-sharp responsiveness", boosted the score. The PSVR 2's biggest downer was the price, which isn't as much of a problem with this sale.
