Sony is gearing up for the 2018 Christmas season with a new PSVR hardware bundle that’s delivering five high-profile games to Europe-based PS4 owners.

Dubbed the PlayStation VR ‘Mega Pack’, the bundle includes a PSVR headset, PS Camera, and five games: Astro Bot Rescue Mission, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Wipeout: Omega Collection, Doom VFR, and PSVR Worlds.

There’s a few caveats here; the bundle doesn’t include PS Move controllers, however all included games support DualShock 4 gamepads to some extent—an odd choice considering Skyrim VR, Doom VFR, and some of the games offered in PSVR Worlds make good use of PS Move. Also, the games included aren’t physical discs, instead delivered as voucher codes.

PlayStation Europe hasn’t mentioned pricing yet in their promo video (linked below) or via the general announce on the PS Europe blog, although Dutch/Belgian retailer GameMania is currently advertising the Mega Pack for €330.

Sony maintains that retail pricing may vary from store to store, so we’re sure to find out soon enough as the bundle launches in the UK on December 3rd, and in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland a day later.

    Mega pack I thought would include the ps4.

      …or at least some move controllers?

    That’s a pretty awesome bundle. Wonder what price will be. It could be pretty expensive which would explain lack of Move controllers. Though I feel like they should just have a general rule at all major retailers, stating that you can throw in Move controllers with any bundle for a discount on the controllers, just to give that option for people willing to drop more money up front. That also prevents you from alienating customers by forcing the Move controllers in the bundle.

      Well, if it’s listed at gamemania @ 330 euro’s than that’ll be the retailprice.. gamemania is seldom cheap.. You’re better off just buying the VRWorlds pack @ 190 euro’s at mediamarkt and buy the extra games you really want.

      • KLEEBAN KLIBAN

        Yea, especially if you can wait for sales on games. I’m mostly just excited that a bundle with all these games exists at all. I really want the medium to continue to grow and it’s important that people play the right games. Anyone that buys this bundle will definitely have the right games :)

    And to think, last week you could buy one for 190 euro’s (including VR-worlds), so the other 4 games would be about 140 euro’s together.. hmmm.. I think you would have been better off if you bought it last week. Oh, just checked, and it’s still 190 euro’s at mediamarkt (also online)..

    Not a great pack without the moves and Skyrim VR/Doom VFR (PSVR exclusives would have been better), but nice enough entry pack.
