Sony PlayStation VR 2 Coming to PC in August with Additional Costs
Until today, Sony’s PlayStation VR 2 headset was only available for PlayStation 5. However, Sony announced in the spring that it will make the headset compatible with Windows. More recently, references to a “PlayStation VR2 PC adapter” have surfaced online, and Sony has officially announced it.
The need for this adapter to use PlayStation VR 2 on Windows has been confirmed. In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony said that the adapter connects to the PC via DisplayPort and USB Type-A, requiring an output port that conforms to DisplayPort 1.4. Also, a DisplayPort cable will not be included with the adapter. The adapter also has a USB Type-C port for powering the PS VR2.
For the PS VR2 headset to work on PC, the PlayStation VR 2 app, which can be downloaded from Steam, needs to be used. However, the PS VR2 will only be officially compatible with Steam VR. Therefore, you will need to have both PlayStation and Steam accounts to play VR games on PC with the PS VR2 headset. The minimum PC requirements set by Sony are quite reasonable.
