PlayStation VR2 Verdict
PSVR2 delivers premium VR visuals for PS5 owners. The OLED screen, HDR, eye tracking, and haptic controllers are excellent, but PlayStation Direct still shows the headset at $399 and unavailable. Buyers should also know that Sony plans to end new PlayStation physical game discs starting January 2028, making future PS VR2 purchases more digital-first.

VIVE Pro 2 remains relevant for Lighthouse users who want a high-resolution PC VR headset, but most new buyers should compare newer PC VR options before committing to the full kit.
High-resolution PC VR panels
SteamVR Lighthouse tracking
