The PC adapter for PS VR2 is coming in August: access to thousands of SteamVR titles

The PS VR2 should soon become much more attractive: From August, you will also be able to use the headset on a PC with an adapter.

Until a few months ago, it didn't look like Sony would allow the PS VR2 to be used on other platforms. The surprise was correspondingly great when Sony mentioned in passing in February that it was looking into the possibility of using the headset with the PC:

Requirements for the use of PS VR2 on PC

You need a PC with Windows 10 or 11, eight gigabytes of RAM and a processor from Intel Core i5-7600 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100 with Zen 2. For the graphics card, Sony recommends at least an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 or an AMD Radeon 6600XT. You will also need DisplayPort 1.4 and a suitable cable, USB for direct connections and Bluetooth 4.0. Unfortunately, not all Bluetooth adapters will be compatible; Sony promises more information on this before the adapter is launched.

If all requirements are met, you will be able to use the PS VR2 on your PC from August. However, not all features will be supported: you will have to do without HDR, eye tracking, headset feedback and haptic controller feedback, except for vibration. However, 4K resolution, 110-degree field of view, passthrough, finger-touch recognition and 3D audio are possible.

These games are popular on SteamVR

The multiplayer horror game "Phasmophobia", which was very popular on the PC, was supposed to be available for PS VR2 as early as 2023. However, the release was repeatedly postponed. You can now play "Phasmophobia" directly via Steam in August at the latest.

Currently popular VR hits on Steam that PS VR2 users have not yet been able to play include "War Thunder" for tank fans, the "Microsoft Flight Simulator", "Subnautica" with its wonderful underwater world and the space simulator "Elite: Dangerous", which is said to be very impressive in VR.

With "Half-Life: Alyx", you can also play an action horror game on Steam that is considered one of the best VR games ever by the Community. I've played it myself and think it's an absolute must for VR fans. The VR conversions of popular Bethesda games such as "Fallout 4 VR" and "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim VR" have also not yet been available for the PS VR2.

It is not yet clear whether you will be able to buy the adapter in our shop. When the time comes, we will let you know.
Addendum: The adapter is now available from us.

And if you are still looking for the PS VR2 headset: Here you will find it.

Feels just as comfortable in front of a gaming PC as she does in a hammock in the garden. Likes the Roman Empire, container ships and science fiction books. Focuses mostly on unearthing news stories about IT and smart products.
