During GDC 2016, within a private session for some members of the press and companies, Sony Computer Entertainment confirmed that PlayStation VR would launch in October of this year for a price of $399 in North America and €399 in Europe.
While this is the final price of the device, we know that it cannot function on its own. It needs to be linked to a PlayStation 4 to be able to reproduce this virtual reality world, a platform that must also have a PlayStation camera to make use of virtual reality. Adding the price of all these productsusing Sony’s virtual reality headsets could end up costing around $800/€800 or more.
Therefore it is to be expected that players will want to ensure that will be worth, and Sony intends to make it clear that the device has enough developers working to continue releasing games and apps constantly. In fact, it recently published a list of companies that plan continue providing support to PlayStation VR, which you can find below:
