The PlayStation VR2 is the second generation of Sony’s virtual reality headset. Until now, it has been exclusive to the PlayStation 5 console, but everything can change if the promises declared by the company in the latest game presentation on the official blog come true.

PS VR was one of the best-selling virtual reality systems in its day, and actually one of the few profitable ones amid the near-universal failure of these technologies to what extent they were promoted. There is very little left in this market segment. One of them, Sony, relied on strong sales of its consoles and exclusive games to sell a reasonable number of units.

PlayStation VR2 for PC?

The PlayStation VR2 didn’t sell as well and demand last year was lower than expected. Analysts pointed to a relatively high price as the main reason. And 599 euros in Europe is more expensive than the console itself, with which it works, until now exclusively.

Some statements on the PlayStation blog make us think Opening with a browser on personal computers. And we say invite because it’s not as clear as the thing deserves: “We are pleased to announce that we are currently testing the ability of PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer an even greater variety of games in addition to the PS VR2 titles available through PS5. We expect this support to be available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates ».

What exactly does that mean? Will support be limited to specific games or will there be a general version of PlayStation VR2 for PC?

PC compatibility is something to be expected, simply because leaving it only for PS5 is a waste of resources. However, Sony has assured time and time again that it was exclusive to its console. The recent reduction in sales expectations for the PlayStation 5 may have changed the mind of the Japanese company’s management.

Various modding groups have attempted to make the viewer work on other platforms with mixed results. Once official support is completed and its use can be extended to platforms like SteamVR and other titles by connecting the hardware to a PC as another virtual reality device, It will be a good motivation for your purchase. Of course, it remains to be seen what will happen with the current VR exclusives.

Sony is already rumored to be planning to open up its own virtual reality market for PCs, and we don’t believe that’s the approach of this announcement. We’ll let you know when Sony clarifies the information.
