Sony unveils PlayStation VR2 PC adapter dropping August

Sony has announced the release of an adapter on August 7, 2024, enabling the PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2) to be compatible with PC. The adapter allows players to engage with PC VR games such as "Half-Life: Alyx" without needing a designated PC VR headset. Priced at $59.99, the adapter requires a DisplayPort cable compatible with DisplayPort 1.4 and a VR-ready gaming PC, along with a Steam account for accessing SteamVR games. Though some key features like HDR and eye tracking may not be available, the adapter retains high-fidelity features like a 110-degree field of view and see-through view. Sony hopes this move rejuvenates interest in the PSVR2, which has faced slow sales despite initial success.

No, the PlayStation VR2 requires the newly announced adapter to function with a PC.

Launched in February 2023, the PSVR2 features advanced technology such as 4K resolution and immersive tactile Sense controllers. Despite the initial sales boom, the headset's momentum has waned, leading to Sony exploring new ways, like PC compatibility, to promote it. This move is seen as a strategic attempt to attract a broader audience, making the VR experience more accessible.
