It doesn't seem like PlayStation VR2 is having quite the same success as its predecessor, which was a runaway hit at a moment when public curiosity and investment in VR were at an all-time high. Nonetheless, it's one of the most advanced VR headsets available—tied to a tiny library on the PS5.
That's about to change, as Sony has confirmed its plans to launch a PC adapter for the headset on August 7. It will cost $60, and it will, at a minimum, let PSVR2 owners play a large library of SteamVR titles, provided their PCs meet the minimum specifications.
Sony's blog post about the adapter says players will need a Steam account, so it's unclear how or whether you can use the headset to dive into PC VR experiences through various channels besides Steam.
In addition to the PSVR2 headset, its controllers, and the new adapter, you'll need a DisplayPort 1.4-compatible cable and the following PC specs:
- Windows 10 or 11 64-bit
- Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or later
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 or later, or Nvidia RTX series, or AMD Radeon RX 5500XT or later, or AMD Radeon RX 6500XT or later
- RTX 3060 or later or RX 6000XT or later are recommended "for the best performance"
- Bluetooth 4.0 or later.
