PSVR2 Sets February Launch & High Price

Sony Interactive Ent.

Sony has announced that PlayStation VR2 will officially launch on February 22nd and be priced at a rather eye-watering USD$549.99 upon release.

That price, more expensive than the $499.99 PlayStation 5 console itself, will get you the PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones.

There will also be a $599.99 bundle which includes a PlayStation Store voucher code for “Horizon: Call of the Mountain”. A separate charging station for the headset will sell for $49.99.

Pre-orders will begin on November 15th and will initially only be able to pre-order through the official PlayStation Direct store. As previously confirmed, the new set won’t be backwards compatible with PlayStation VR games.

“The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR”, a title dubbed a “fast-paced roller coaster action-horror-shooter”, will be available for the VR set exclusively along with “Crossfire: Sierra Squad” from developer Smilegate.
