Sony has removed the PlayStation VR2 from the PlayStation Store in the United States and Japan, while stock has largely disappeared from Amazon and other online retailers. The company began pulling the headset from its direct web store around mid-October.
Why it matters
The removal signals that Sony is winding down direct sales of its VR headset after limited demand. For buyers in affected regions, remaining supply is now mostly available only through third-party resellers at higher prices.
Retail prices for remaining PSVR 2 stock have risen well above the $400 price set in March 2025, with Best Buy listing units at $750 through third-party sellers. Sony has not publicly confirmed whether any further supply will be made available through its own channels.
The players
Sony Interactive Entertainment
Sony's gaming division, which develops and sells the PlayStation platform and its accessories, including the PlayStation VR2 headset.
The details
Sony no longer sells PSVR 2 on the PlayStation Store in the US or Japan, while the EU and UK stores still show stock. In Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the store now points buyers to third-party retailers.
Timeline
February 2023: PSVR 2 launched.
March 2024: Sony reportedly paused production after low sales volumes.
August 2024: PSVR 2 became compatible with PC VR games.
March 2025: Price was cut to $400.
Mid-October 2026: Sony began removing the headset from its direct web store.
Industry Dynamics
The PSVR 2 withdrawal follows a 2025 price cut from $550 to $400 and a reported production pause in March 2024. Sony's removal of the headset from direct sales places it in the same category of underperforming first-generation console peripherals that have been quietly withdrawn from retail.
Buyers outside the EU and UK who want a PSVR 2 now face limited stock, with the cheapest remaining units sold through third-party resellers. Anyone considering the headset should compare resale prices against the $400 official price before purchasing.
The takeaway
Products whose direct-sales channels are pulled before retail stock runs out can leave buyers paying resale markups, so checking official store availability before buying is a practical step.
