Free in the sense that you still have to purchase a PlayStation VR2.

Capcom announced yesterday that the upcoming VR Mode for Resident Evil Village will be a free piece of DLC for all PlayStation 5 owners that own either the base version of Village or the Gold Edition.

Resident Evil Village in VR Mode will also make use of the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. You will physically raise your arms up to guard against attacks. You, as Ethan Winters, will also be able to dual wield certain weapons. There are also now natural motion controls for reloading and using knives. You know, the usual VR stuff.
