Remember when Sony was vague about VR2 for PC, and warriors were saying it meant you still needed a PS5 for it to work, or only PS5 gamers can use it to leach PC Steam games to boost the PS5 library (so it was like a one-way street).

I mean it's pretty hard to fucking forget since someone like you brings it up in every single PSVR2 thread for some reason.

Dont forget you need the PC adapter. $60 US.

To start, players will need to purchase a PlayStation VR2 PC adapter, which will be available for an estimated retail price of $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99 at select retailers and direct.playstation.com where available. Players will also need a commercially available DisplayPort cable (sold separately) that is compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, as well as a Steam account and a PC that meets the minimum requirements below.*

PlayStation VR2 players can access games on PC with adapter starting on August 7

With the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter, players can expand their game library with thousands of SteamVR titles.

It's also worth pointing out that all the advanced and unique features of the PSVR2 don't work with PC VR / Steam VR.

The HDR, the headset vibration, the eye tracking, the foveated rendering, etc. None of them are supported with this. That was a bit of a letdown for me, but looking forward to seeing some impressions.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Great direction they are moving in. I appreciate the work put in to allow PSVR2 owners to extract more value out of their purchase. I do hope Sony continues to invest in a solution to allow PC devs to take advantage of the HDR, eye tracking, and headset haptics.

When can we spend the 60 bucks on the adapter to support our new porn addictions?

I'm curious how this stacks up to my quest 3. For $60 at worst I have a secondary headset on my gaming laptop ready to go.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It would be great if we could preorder the adapter to secure one for release. As it stands, I don't even know where they will sell them outside of the official website.

Way better blacks, more immersive.
Worse mura in grays.
No visual streaming issues if you have them (my Q3 wireless is flawless for me).

Those are the main things afaik.

 

[cyberheater]

All right, I'll buy a headset now.

I'm going to wait for reviews but if it's all good I might jump in. Those OLED blacks are a big draw.

Steam: thanks for making us relevant again.

Sony: we want to make you big, and don’t be shocked if there’s half life 4 psvr2.

Steam: ok I do think you can pencil in half life alex psvr2.

I mean, I suggested that and it's still something SIE needs to do. But in addition to making it PC-compatible.

So, like an even trade, really.
