Black Friday: the PS VR2 headset drops to €300 at Amazon

The PS VR2 is a virtual reality headset that pairs seamlessly with the PS5, delivering a more immersive gaming experience alongside many other equally advanced features. Naturally, that level of quality came with a premium price tag… until Black Friday arrived and Amazon dropped the model below €350.

As part of Black Friday, Amazon is showcasing its best deals from today. Although this edition runs from 20 November to 1 December, there is no need to wait for Black Friday itself, on 28 November, to secure the lowest prices.

For years, the e-commerce site has offered its most competitive prices from the very beginning of the event. Conversely, it is best not to hesitate when a deal appeals to you, as stock remains limited: this applies to the excellent PS VR2 headset, which has fallen to €300 instead of €599.

For Black Friday, Amazon is offering an immediate saving of 42% on Sony's PS VR2 headset. It is an impressive deal, if not an unprecedented one. What is certain is that competitors are simply unable to match it, while the retailer maintains its number-one position in France during this edition. This is true not only of its deals, but also of the services included with each order.

During Black Friday, Amazon traditionally extends its returns deadline to 31 January 2026, whether you buy the PS VR2 headset or any other item ordered during the event. This benefit now appears to have been adopted by other e-commerce platforms, but Amazon was the first to introduce it, allowing customers to prepare Christmas gifts early at the best prices without worrying about returns. Orders also come with free, and often fast, delivery, plus each brand's official manufacturer warranty - two years for Sony's device.

If there is one time of year not to miss for making savings, it is this one. Amazon is running its biggest promotion of the year with Black Friday. It brought the event over from the USA and made it so popular in France. As every year, the occasion is becoming more popular thanks to premium deals, with the PS VR2 headset being an excellent example.

Why choose the PS VR2 headset?

The PlayStation VR2 is Sony's latest virtual reality headset. Its technological advances and close integration with the famous PlayStation 5 console deliver an unrivalled immersive experience. First, the brand has redesigned it to make it slimmer and lighter than its predecessor: at 560 grams, it is designed for lasting comfort. Its ergonomic fastening system keeps it securely in place on your head. In addition, the adjustable headband and high-quality padding effectively block outside light for total immersion.

PS VR2 display, tracking and VR2 Sense controllers

The PS VR2 headset is also appealing from a technical perspective. It features a dual OLED display, with a resolution of 2000 x 2040 pixels per eye and a 110-degree field of view. Its refresh rate can reach 120 Hz to ensure smooth, responsive gameplay, while the device also supports HDR and 4K for strikingly lifelike images. Its tracking system relies on four built-in cameras, which precisely monitor the headset's movements in space without external sensors and track the VR2 Sense controllers, providing complete hand and finger tracking.

The PS VR2 headset comes with VR2 Sense controllers, which use the adaptive trigger and haptic feedback technology found in the DualSense controller for PS5. As a result, they provide precise vibrations and unprecedented tactile sensations, including simulated heartbeats and the feeling of virtual objects brushing close by. The headset itself is also fitted with vibration motors to enhance the immersive sensation even further.

Sony PS VR2 sound, setup and passthrough mode

For audio, Sony's PS VR2 headset provides immersive 3D sound through the supplied in-ear headphones, creating an ultra-realistic spatial representation of in-game audio environments. Combined with the device's technical features and the controllers, the sound quality transports players into their favourite virtual worlds. The possibilities are extensive, with content available through the dedicated games library and compatibility with traditional PS5 content.

Finally, Sony's PS VR2 headset now benefits from simpler connectivity and installation, using a single USB-C cable to connect it to the PS5 and avoiding time-consuming, complex setups. The device includes a transparent passthrough mode: available at any time, it uses the front cameras to let you see your real surroundings without taking off the headset. This is particularly useful for finding your bearings in the room, while the play area can be set up easily with intelligent space detection, giving you greater freedom of movement without the risk of falling or similar accidents. With all these strengths and this XXL deal, this version is among Amazon's best Black Friday offers.
