Good news for PlayStation VR 2 owners. Sony, in an update on their PlayStation Blog, have confirmed that they are working on PC VR support for the headset, which is officially only currently supported on the PlayStation 5 console.

In the press update, they mention that testing is currently ongoing and that they hope to offer the functionality at some point this year.

Also, we’re pleased to share that we are currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PS VR2 titles available through PS5. We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.

However, details are vague and we have no details on how the connection will be made, whether it be a direct tether to a compatible VR capable PC or a Quest-like solution with an app like Steam Link perhaps on its way to the PlayStation Store. While homebrew efforts have been made to get the PSVR2 working on PC, various hurdles meant that additional hardware was necessary for that solution so it remains unseen as to how Sony will handle system compatibility.

why tf would i need VR at all. VR shoud die already....

You don't need VR. You don't need gaming. You don't need TVs or the Internet or any of this entertainment. Food, shelter, sleep and a good book are what you need.

what you mean by a high quality mode

The Meta Quest 3 video quality is worse that Sony way more expensive headset.

You'll see those benefits regardless of whether or not the game supports it.

hey I'm excited. Not much development in vr headsets right now, aside from the sony vr we had the quest who I don't want to funnel money into anymore, and apple, who will never get my money.

That won't going to happen because if they were to make a portal/ launcher for VR, making one to launch their standard PC games would have much higher priority. Let's say if they did the PC launcher perhaps there's a possibility because they could start selling there instead of taking cuts from other store fronts.

You always need to take cuts from other stores even if you have your own portal, because most Steamheads will refuse to buy from other stores. So not releasing on Steam even if you have your own store costs you money. 70% of a sale on Steam is worth more than 100% of a sale that isn't made on your own portal. EPIC is the only one who hasn't learned that lesson, because they think they can own their own store on all platforms and keep 100% of every sale. And Actizzard is big enough and has enough must-haves to get away with it.

Problem is that even the Meta Quest 3 is like a hundred bucks cheaper. Game compatibility is gonna be an issue as I think most of PC VR games run on the Quest 2 and or 3? And some haven't been updated in a while.

Ummm.. what? PCVR games run on the PC. That is a separate thing from VR made to RUN ON the Quest. PCVR games will run on any headset with compatible controls and drivers. The headset is nothing more than a screen and interface at that point.

EDIT: But speaking of running things ON the Quest... that is something PSVR2 is incapable of doing. At all. I can play Switch games on my Quest, and it's not entirely terrible. Would still rather play via virtual desktop since my pc is lightyears more powerful, though.

If you don't care about VR, wtf are are you in this thread? Just hopelessly seeking attention?

 

[CorruptedSlime]

Ok Sony, but how about making Dualsense microphone and haptic feedback work wirelessly?

If you don't care about VR why are are you in this thread?

Because, this forum is for everiones opinion to express it. It's that simple really.
Also i omitted unnecessary words you spew to me personally, which is actually against forum rules unlike opinion expression.
