While most retailers are counting down the days until they discount all their gadgets, one retailer has jumped the gun by offering some great deals. Case in point, an undeniably tempting PSVR2 deal lets you play one of our top-rated VR games at a reduced price.
Currently, over at Walmart you can find the PSVR 2’s Call of The Mountain Bundle for $349 – that’s down from a listing price of $399, which is technically its MSRP, although Amazon has it for even higher for some reason. It's also the lowest price we've seen the headset go for, undercutting the previous benchmark by — drumroll please — a single cent. Still, it's the lowest price: who said you needed to wait until the end of the month to get a great price on a VR headset?
This bundle gets you the PSVR 2 headset as well as Horizon Call of the Mountain, a virtual reality spin-off of Horizon Zero Dawn which released in 2023. We gave it an almost-perfect score in our Horizon Call of the Mountain review, and it went on to win the year’s Golden Joystick Award for Best VR Game.
Should you buy the PSVR 2 with Horizon Call of the Mountain?
If you’ve been looking forward to Black Friday VR headset deals, then it’s fair to consider this new discount. Bear in mind that PSVR 2 is only compatible with PS5 and PC, so if you don’t play on either of these, it’s an instant ‘no’ for this deal.
But if you are a PS5 or PC gamer, and are interested enough in buying PSVR 2 to have clicked on this news story, it’s a different prospect. Unlike some rivals, Sony’s VR headset is designed from the ground up for gaming, with useful features like an OLED display, 4K resolution and haptic feedback in the headset. It's a great buy, and we gave it 4.5 stars in our PSVR 2 review.
What about the game? Well, this is the only officially-ranged PSVR 2 bundle, though some retailers occasionally choose to combine the base model with a different VR game for a reduced price. So you don't have much choice, but as mentioned it's a worthy title anyway.
The other elephant in the room is Black Friday gaming deals, which begin soon. Best Buy has started its early ones already (hence this discount) but Amazon kicks off its own on November 20, and Walmart enters the ring on November 25 (though both retailers also have early options).
We can't rule out that rival, or better, PSVR 2 deals will spring up from the retailers; though given that this is technically a new low price, I'm not confident we'll see it go even cheaper. We will, however, see deals on rival VR headsets which may sway you. But honestly, if I had a PSVR 2 on my wishlist, I'd have already added this bundle to my online basket.
