The PlayStation VR 2 headset is coming to more retailers

The PlayStation VR 2 headset is making its way to more retailers, following its two-month-long exclusive stint on Sony’s direct to consumer storefront. Sony announced the news on Twitter, but it hasn’t yet shared which retailers will begin to sell the VR headset, nor has it shared an official date. However, it’s possible that it might fall on May 12, Tears of the Kingdom: The Legend of Zelda’s launch date, per the UK retailer ShopTo announcing it’ll start selling the PlayStation VR 2 on that date.

It’s a great thing that more stores are selling the PlayStation VR 2. This is especially true for those who have gift cards to reduce its $549.99 high price. The reason why I’m most excited to see it hit more retailers is because it’s more likely that we’ll see discounts on the headset.

While Sony hasn’t disclosed sales performance of the PlayStation VR 2, it reportedly halved its sales expectations ahead of its late February launch due to receiving fewer-than-expected pre-orders. It will probably be more successful (how much is still to come) when people see the PlayStation VR 2 on shelves.

We’ll be updating this post, and the product card below, once retailers have announced that they’ll carry the VR headset.
