Reports from November 3, 2026 show that PlayStation's virtual reality headset has disappeared from PlayStation Direct in the two largest markets, with availability also dropping at retailers and no official discontinuation statement.
According to investigations by specialized outlets such as Road to VR and Digital Foundry, Sony removed the PSVR2 from PlayStation Direct in the United States and Japan starting in mid-October. In other regions, such as the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, the product still appears available, while Canada, Australia and New Zealand redirect to third parties.
At retail, stocks on Amazon and stores like Best Buy and Walmart have practically run out for direct sales, leaving offers from resellers at prices well above the launch value or the previous cut to around $400. Sony has not issued a statement confirming the end of sales or production.
The move comes after years of limited first-party support: few heavy exclusive titles (such as Horizon Call of the Mountain), closed or reduced VR studios, and a PC adaptation that gave partial survival via SteamVR. Recently the company also sold VR patents to Meta. For current owners, the hardware remains functional, but parts replacement and long-term support become more uncertain as official stocks disappear.
The situation reinforces the perception that PlayStation's VR strategy did not take off at the same pace as the main consoles, even with the 2023 launch and the subsequent price cut.
