Sony lowers the price of its virtual reality glasses, are they worth it now?

Sony announced that starting in March, the official price of its virtual reality headset, the PS VR 2 will be reduced to $399 (400 euros), which represents a significant decrease of $150 from its original price of $550.

This price drop has led to questioning whether, two years after its launch, the PS VR 2 glasses are still a device worth buying. Are there games that truly take advantage of these glasses?

The PS VR2 Compared to the Competition

Compared to other virtual reality devices, such as the Meta Quest 3S at $300 and the Meta Quest 3 at $500, Sony’s option at $400 stands out as a competitive choice, although with significant limitations.

Unlike standalone devices, the PS VR 2 require being connected to a PlayStation 5 or a PC, which restricts mobility and the gaming experience due to the need for a cable.

And while it features advanced characteristics such as eye tracking, OLED screens, and controllers with haptic feedback, the catalog of exclusive games for PSVR 2 has left much to be desired since its launch in 2023.

Although there are ports of titles from other platforms, many were hoping that classics from the original PSVR, such as “Astro Bot: Rescue Mission,” would be adapted for this new generation, something that has not yet happened.

In their favor, they are very comfortable for players who wear glasses, but against them is the fact that they have invented an adapter for PC to allow us to play Steam games with them, in addition to the lack of exclusive offers and the need for a connected system. It doesn’t seem like these PS VR2 are Sony’s best product.
