If you’ve been holding off on VR, these last-minute Cyber Monday deals give you a reason to jump in. The standout deal has to be the PlayStation VR2, now £299 in the UK (down from £379.95). For those who want the full experience, the PSVR 2 bundle with Horizon: Call of the Mountain is still available in the US, now $299, down from $399.99, putting top-tier console VR within reach without breaking the bank.

Other headsets on sale cater to different needs. Some, like the excellent Meta Quest 3s, are completely standalone, perfect for anyone who doesn’t want a PC tethered to their headset. Others, like the Vive Focus Vision, are geared toward high-resolution PC VR or creative workflows, offering mixed-reality features and precise tracking for design, art, or immersive media.

Best Cyber Monday VR deals: FAQs

Which VR headset is best for gaming?

For console players, PS VR2 is hard to beat. Sony's PS5 headset is comfortable, precise and makes use of the console's power. PC gamers get more flexibility and visuals from headsets like Meta Quest 3s or VIVE Pro 2.

Are VR headsets useful for creatives?

Yes, particularly if you work in 3D design, virtual art, or immersive storytelling, headsets with mixed-reality features like VIVE XR Elite or Focus Vision let you interact with projects in real space, offering precision and visual clarity you can’t get on a flat screen.

Do I need a PC to use VR?

Not always. Standalone devices like Meta Quest 3s run wirelessly without a PC. Tethered headsets, including VIVE Pro 2 or XR Elite, need a capable PC for full graphics performance or heavier creative workflows.

Are Cyber Monday VR deals worth it?

If the headset suits your needs and the price is lower than usual, yes. Always compare specs, compatibility, and value versus newer models, and act quickly as these deals can disappear fast.

What should I be careful about?

Avoid discontinued models unless you specifically want their features, such as the Meta Quest Pro. Check comfort, tracking, and app support before buying, as some older units may have limited updates or accessories.
