Upgrade 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 through Cyber Monday on December 2. Buying the right gift can be difficult but for gamers . it’s actually pretty easy: buy them the latest console, e.g PlayStation 5. But what if they already have a PS5? Then what do you do?
Well, you could buy them some PS5 accessories, but I’m sure they already have a few controllers. If you really want to impress the PlayStation gamer in your life, I recommend it PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Pack.

PS VR2, as it is also known, is a virtual reality headset designed to immerse players in the worlds of their favorite video games. Each lens contains 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 powers the experience, allowing “realistic soundscapes” that automatically adapt to your location. Inside the headset is a small motor that vibrates in response to in-game action and brings a level of flexibility to the digital world.
Paired with the headset is the VR2 Sense controller, which adds to the sense of immersion by having native haptic feedback as well as finger touch detection and adaptive triggers. Critics (including us) and players have praised PS VR2 as an excellent game virtual reality headset for gaming.
Also: This 512GB Meta Quest 3 bundle is one of the best early Black Friday VR deals around right now
At a glance, it is very similar Meta Quest 3but there is one glaring difference: it cannot operate independently. PS VR2 must be connected to PlayStation 5 to work. Sony’s device delivers a gaming experience that few can replicate exclusively on consoles.
This bundle includes a free download code for Horizon Call of the Mountain, which is part of the elite (and growing) group of PS VR2 games. Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by machines, this game takes players to climb a mountain called Sunspear to discover its secrets. Online user reviews suggest this is one of the better titles available for headsets. The PlayStation V2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle is on sale for $350 above Amazon and Sony stores.
It’s not yet known exactly when Amazon’s deal will expire. There’s no deal in place although it does announce Black Friday deals, so it could disappear after November 29. However, it could last longer. Sony’s PlayStation product listing says the deal will end on January 2, 2025.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, which in 2024 falls on November 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 immediately after is known as Cyber Monday, heralding Cyber Week. The sales and discounts will carry over into the following days although they likely won’t be as good as the Black Friday deals.
