PC support for PlayStation VR2 is on the way

Sony announced that the PlayStation VR2 (PS VR2) virtual reality headset was designed to be compatible only with PlayStation 5 (PS5). However, the company has now announced that it has started testing to make this title compatible with PC. While the first PlayStation VR headset received unofficial support for PC, Sony says it’s now working to ensure PS VR2 owners can connect the headset with a PC gaming system.

“We are pleased to share that we have tested the ability to give PS VR2 players access to additional games on PC in addition to the PS VR2 games available on PS5,” Sony said in its blog post on the subject. We hope to roll out this support in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.” He stated:

On PS VR2’s compatibility with PC

Sony has so far left unanswered questions about running the PlayStation VR2 headset on a PC. A year ago, when Sony was asked about PS VR2’s PC support, the company stated that PS VR2 was designed for use with the PS5 console.

Since the title’s release, modders have been trying to make PS VR2 work on a PC. Groups like iVRy have attempted to make the hardware compatible by reverse engineering it. Sony is expected to clarify what exactly “access to additional games on PC” means and whether support will be limited to certain games.

This step by Sony has the potential to offer PS VR2 users a rich gaming experience not only on PS5, but also on a powerful PC gaming system. This development is seen as an important step in bringing the virtual reality experience to a wider audience and increasing the appeal of PS VR2. With this support expected in 2024, Sony’s innovative approach in the field of virtual reality seems to be further strengthened.
