The best PlayStation VR bundles and deals in February 2023

There are very limited PlayStation VR deals available right now and the virtual reality headset is sold out at most retailers. The main reason for this is that a new PSVR 2 model is on the way and due for release in February 2023. So, should you even buy the older tech anyway if it’s available for cheap?

Ultimately, it depends on which console you own. If you already own a PS5 or are looking to upgrade soon, then you should strongly consider saving your money for PSVR 2 instead. 

Sony has revealed the price and release date of PSVR 2: it’s $549.99 / £529.99 / €599.99 and it will launch on February 23, 2023. You can register your interest in a PSVR 2 preorder now if you want to buy it, including a bundle that features one of the most anticipated PSVR 2 games – Horizon Call of the Wild.

However, if you have a PS4 and are eager to try out the original hardware for yourself, then any remaining PSVR deals could be better value for money. There’s also the option to look out for Oculus Quest 2 deals instead if you really want to escape to the virtual realm and get a more future-proofed device. Our guide to all the cheap VR headset deals is also on hand if you want to spend a little less.

If you’re looking for a console then luckily the hunt for a PS5 restock is now considerably easier – you can find one available at almost all times now. Just don’t expect to see any massively reduced PS5 bundle deals just yet. You can also shop around for all the latest PlayStation Plus deals and PS4 bundle deals.

PlayStation VR deals

Here’s where you can find the PSVR headset in stock today. Only one bundle is available in the US and it’s currently on offer. Meanwhile, Sony’s VR headset is now available to buy anywhere in the UK.

PlayStation VR Marvel’s Iron Man Bundle: was $349.99 now $199.99 at GameStop (opens in new tab)
This PSVR bundle has returned to GameStop in the US and is now available for $199.99 – that’s $50 cheaper than the previous record low. It’s still a fairly big price to pay when the new PSVR 2 tech is due to arrive in February 2023. Still, if you want the PSVR headset, PlayStation Camera, Move controllers and a copy of Marvel’s Iron Man, this is one of the only places you can buy it.

What about PlayStation VR 2?

Sony has officially announced a second-generation PlayStation VR system that’s designed for the PS5 and it will launch on February 23, 2023. 

This follows months of steady reveals about the new tech, including information about the graphical upgrades, the boost in processing power and more features that we will find in the new VR headset. Stick with our PlayStation VR 2 hub for all the latest news, specs and rumours.

Here, we’re sticking with all the price and pre-order news. 

The PlayStation VR 2 will cost $549.99 / £529.99 / €599.99. This standard package includes the PSVR 2 headset, PSVR 2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones.

There’s also a PlayStation VR 2 – Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle that comes with all of the above and a download code for one of the headline PSVR games, Horizon Call of the Mountain, for $599.99 / £569.99 / €649.99.

You need to head to the PlayStation Direct (opens in new tab) store in your region to register your interest in a PSVR 2 preorder right now as it will not be available at retailers at this stage.

PlayStation VR games

Keep an eye on this handy chart below as we’ll update it with the latest prices for a wide range of PlayStation VR games should you wish to try a new experience on the existing tech.

PSVR Accessories

PS4 camera deals

It’s crucial you buy a PS4 camera along with your VR headset if it’s not already in the bundle, otherwise, it will not work. Don’t pay more than the standard £45/$60 for the camera though.  Sony released an updated, rounder (see image above) model with a built-in TV-mount and there are deals included in the chart below. The older PS4 camera is also compatible with PlayStation VR. If there’s nothing tempting below, maybe try for a new/preowned unit via eBay?

PlayStation Move controller deals

The PlayStation Move motion controllers are very much an optional purchase as not every game supports them. Many that do, also have options to use the standard DualShock 4 PS4 controller instead.

Move wands are now more readily available as stock of the original PSVR headset has declined. That means if you already own the last-gen VR headset and want to see what the Move controllers are all about then you can find a pair relatively easily.

We’d advise a little caution if you’re considering pre-owned units, as the lack of use in recent years may have dulled the charge capacity of the battery compared to new controllers.

DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment prices

Sony has also released the DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment: a small device that clips onto the back of your controller and adds two mappable buttons for extra control configurations. The device has been wildly popular, especially in the US, so stock is sometimes hard to find. Since the launch of the PS5, though, it’s become a lot easier to buy one.

And that’s about everything when it comes to the best PlayStation VR deals right now. As explained, the situation isn’t exactly great considering the lack of cheap headsets available to buy, but if you’ve already got one you can find some accessories or games for less. 

Those looking to get the tech will be best waiting for the PSVR 2 and we’ll be on hand when that launches to bring you the cheapest prices right here.
