Henry Stockdale agreed with Jackson in his review for Upload VR, saying that the PSVR 2 is "cheaper and easier" than PC VR setups, "with the added bonus of Sony-exclusive titles that aren’t available elsewhere." He added that even though the PSVR 2 isn't as competitively priced as the standalone Meta Quest 2 ($399), it "provides high-end VR with the ease-of-use inherent to console gaming." "And those headsets require a powerful PC to enjoy PSVR 2-equivalent gaming performance," she continued. Looking at the headset's specs, she added that the PSVR 2 "bests the latest Meta Quest Pro ($1,500 new) and Valve Index ($1,000) in several areas, such as resolution." PSVR 2 joins in on that fun with one of the best headsets you can presently buy." "Rather, it’s an active, thriving, wonderful part of its present with many great experiences to enjoy.

"PSVR 2 joins in on that fun with one of the best headsets you can presently buy" Claire Jackson, Kotaku But all agreed that the PSVR 2 is a great improvement from the PSVR. Some thought the headset was very comfortable, some didn't, some experienced motion sickness, some didn't, some thought Horizon was a killer app, some thought it wasn't much more than an excellent tech demo. While critical conclusions might be similar across reviewers, the reasons to get there were varied as the experience of wearing a VR headset can be so different from one person to the next. A lot of reviewers focused on whether the offering was good value for money considering its price point, and whether it's worth it compared to other VR offerings currently on the market. Sony's latest VR headset has benefited from positive reviews so far. Unlike most VR headsets, the PSVR 2 doesn't come with built-in speakers, but instead boasts noise-cancelling earbuds. All that for a RRP of $550, to which you'll have to add the price of a PS5 if you don't already own one. Launching alongside Guerrilla Games and Firesprite title Horizon Call of the Mountain (more on this further down), the PSVR 2 features two 2000 x 2040 OLED panels, native 90 or 120 FPS, eye tracking, adjustable interpupillary distance, and haptic feedback both in the headset and its two controllers.

Developed by Firesprite and Guerilla Games, Call of the Mountain is, as you would expect, a VR adventure set within the beautiful, but highly hazardous, futureworld explored in acclaimed adventures Horizon Zero Dawn (2017) and Horizon Forbidden West (2022). Alternately, a Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle will include the above set complete with a download code for an additional $50/£40/€50.
