The PS VR2 Adapter for PC has appeared in the listing of an official South Korean organization. This confirms Sony’s point Extend the use of a virtual reality headset to personal computers.
Sony didn’t sell as many units as expected of the second generation of its PS VR2 headset. Its low catalog of games, its limitation of use on PS5 and its very high price (completely unjustified as it costs more than the console itself) is behind the low sales. However, it must be said that the original version of this headset sold quite well considering what was said and that everything related to VR was generally big fiasco where very few people survived.
In fact, this segment of the market today can be counted on the fingers of one hand: what comes from Quest, something from HTC, Apple’s Vision (very expensive, focused on Pros and also with very low sales) and this Sony exclusive for your console.
Since its launch, VR enthusiasts and analysts have called for Sony to expand the headset’s use on PCs. The Official PlayStation Blog last February. upon arrival he opened the door: “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 ».
Does this just mean PC compatibility for those who already have a PS5 headset, or a real expansion of use to non-console user groups? And also another question, isn’t it too late for Sony? We will see. Sony said support will be available until the end of 2024.
Recall that several modding groups have tried to make the viewer work on other platforms with varying 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 current VR games.
