Level up your PS5 with this PlayStation VR2 bundle for $250 off before Black Friday
The holiday shopping season is well underway, with Black Friday kicking off the craze on Friday, November 29, and continuing into Cyber Monday on December 2. Buying the right present can be tricky but with gamers. it’s actually pretty easy: get them the latest console, like the PlayStation 5. But what if they already have a PS5? What do you do then?
Well, you can get them some PS5 accessories, but I’m sure they already have a couple of controllers. If you really want to wow the PlayStation gamer in your life, I recommend the PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle.

The PS VR2, as it’s also known, is a virtual reality headset designed to immerse players in the world of their favorite video games. Each lens houses a pair of OLED displays running at a resolution of 2,000 x 2,040 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Tempest 3D AudioTech supports the experience, enabling “realistic soundscapes” that dynamically adapt to your position. Inside the headset is a little motor that vibrates to in-game action and introduces a level of tactility to digital worlds.
Paired with the headset are the VR2 Sense controllers, which add even more to the immersion by having their own haptic feedback as well as finger touch detection and adaptive triggers. Critics (including us) and players have praised the PS VR2 for being an excellent virtual reality headset for gaming.

At a glance, it’s very similar to the Meta Quest 3, but there’s a distinct difference: it cannot operate independently. The PS VR2 must be connected to a PlayStation 5 to work. Sony’s device offers a gaming experience that few can replicate exclusively on the console.
This bundle includes a free download code for Horizon Call of the Mountain, which is a member of an elite (and growing) group of PS VR2 games. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by machines, the title sees players trek up a mountain known as the Sunspear to uncover its secrets. Online user reviews indicate it is one of the better titles for the headset. The PlayStation V2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle is on sale for $350 on Amazon and Sony’s storefront.
It’s unknown exactly when the Amazon deal will expire. There isn’t a set deal although it does have a Black Friday Deal notification, so it may go away after Nov. 29. However, it can go on longer. The product listing on Sony’s PlayStation states the deal ends on Jan. 2, 2025.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, which in 2024 falls on Nov. 29, and can be considered the start of the holiday shopping season. That doesn’t mean the sales event ends after the 29th, as the Monday right after is known as Cyber Monday, heralding in Cyber Week. Discounts and price drops will extend into the following days although there’s a chance they won’t be as good as Black Friday deals.
