To that end, we’re going to list everywhere that you can pre order the PSVR 2. We’re also going to go over where to buy the PSVR 2 after release too, as the story changes then.

Where to pre order the PSVR 2 right now (All regions)

Annoyingly, yet unsurprisingly, you can only pre order the PSVR 2 from the official Sony online store, unless, you’re Canadian. Yes, indeed those from the land of Ice hockey, maple syrup, and kindness can get their PSVR 2 pre order in from Amazon.

We aren’t really sure why this is the case, probably a complicated mix of e-commerce and marketing nonsense that we are thankfully unaware of.

Other regions, annoyingly, will have to slum it on the official PlayStation store. Well, slumming it is harsh, but it’s still a bit inconvenient.

Will the PSVR 2 be available on Amazon after launch?

At some point after launch, we’re confident that the PSVR 2 will be available on Amazon, however, the DualSense Edge controller still can’t be found on Amazon and that was released on January 26th.

Hopefully, the PSVR 2 will filter down to more popular retailers and find its way onto the shelves at physical stores too, as this will make it far more accessible to a wider audience.

PSVR 2 price

The most controversial aspect of the PSVR 2 so far is the price. $549.99/€599.99/£529.99/¥74,980 is a lot whichever way you cut it. Meaning that it will have to be a really impressive VR headset in order to justify essentially the same price as the PS5 itself. This means that if you’re after the PSVR 2 experience, it’ll be close to $1000 spent overall.

When can you buy PSVR 2?

If, after all of this, you’ve been bitten by the PSVR 2 bug, here’s everything you need to know about the PSVR 2 release date.

The PSVR 2 is set to release on February 22nd 2023, As mentioned, you can of course pre order it already. The pre orders will start shipping a day or two beforehand, to ensure that as many units as possible reach their buyers on release day.

Additionally, the launch titles Sony’s been banging on about like Horizon: Call of the Mountain will release at the same time, so you can start swinging lightsabers and shooting arrows forthwith.

Of course, given that the PSVR 2 is priced at $549.99/€599.99/£529.99/¥74,980, we aren’t sure how popular the headset will be. It’s looking like a powerful piece of hardware, but the price is hard to swallow, especially if you’ve only just been able to get ahold of a PS5 after the year-long shortage.

Where to buy PSVR 2 FAQs

Is the PSVR 2 worth it?

It’s expensive, yes, but we were blown away during our testing period, so if you’ve got the cash, you probably won’t regret it.

Why can’t I buy PSVR 2 on Amazon?

We think that it’s an attempt by Sony to reduce the chances of scalpers. This is a good idea in principle to avoid the mess of scalped PS5 consoles that plagued that release for over a year. Though, it might not be a necessity, as the PSVR 2 has no chance of being as popular as the PS5.

Then again, The original PSVR surprised even Sony itself with its popularity at launch, so having a contingency plan in place might be smart if the PSVR 2 proves to be even half as popular.
