Summary
- PlayStation has followed through with its promise that PS VR2 would be getting PC compatibility before the end of 2024.
- An adapter for the headset - priced at $60 - will be available to buy from August 7.
- The headset will be able to play SteamVR games, but some of its features, like eye tracking, will remain exclusive to PS5.
A little more than a year on from its launch, you'd be forgiven for thinking 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation had already thrown in the towel on the PS VR2. Very little has been released for its next-gen headset, and since it isn't backwards compatible with PS VR games, its library remains extremely limited. That changes on August 7 as PlayStation has confirmed that's the date you'll be able to hook your PS VR2 up to a PC and play games on Steam. You're going to need to buy an adapter if you want to do thꦅat, though.
PlayStation confirmed earlier this year that it was hoping to 🔜roll out PC compatibility fo🐻r the headset before the end of 2024, and it has achieved that goal with a lot of time to spare. , the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter will g♕o on sale through PlayStation and other select retailers on August 7. The adapter w꧃ill cost $59.99 and you will also need a DisplayPort cable that is compatible with DisplayPort 1.4 to hook the headset up to your PC.

Having to pay even more to make the PS VR2 something you want to use regularly might further turn people off. The headset costs $550 (although 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:🐈it's currently $100 in the Days of Play 🌳sale), so the addition of a $60 cable bumps it up to more than $600. On the bright side, until now you have needed a PS5 to use the heads๊et. Now if you have a PC with good enough specs - you can check out theꩵ required specs in the blog post - you will no longer need a console to use the PS VR2.
You'll Need One Of These To Hook Your PS VR2 Up To A PC
The pros and cons keep on coming. The biggest pro of all is from August 7, you will no longer be restricted to PlayStation's limited PS VR2 library. Fallout 4 VR, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Half-Life: Alyx, and every other VR game you can buy on Steam will be playable. However, some of the f♌eatures that make the PS VR2 so good won't be compatible with Steam. Eye tracking, for example, will remain a PS5-exclusive feature. The same applies to the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback introduced via the DualSen🗹se that were brought over to the PS VR2's controllers.
It remains unclear if this is the shot in the arm the PS VR2 needs to make it worth PlayStation's while. For those who need an excuse to dust off their headset, or buy one, before August 7, PlayStation revealed five PS💎 VR2 games will be free to play through PS Plus Premium starting later this month. It also showed off two new PS VR2 games during lasℱt week's State of Play just to confirm to those who own them that there are still new games coming.
