Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that PlayStation VR2 will be available to use on PC starting on August 7. With the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter which will cost $59.99, players will have access to buy and play Steam’s expansive library of thousands of VR games such as Half-Life Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, and War Thunder. Players will also need a commercially available DisplayPort cable that is compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, a Steam account, and a PC that meets the minimum requirements.

The minimum requirements for PS VR2 gameplay on PC are:

In order to use and play VR titles with PSVR 2 on PC, simply connect the PS VR2 PC adapter and the DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Then, download the PS VR2 app and the SteamVR 2 app from Steam which will allow players to setup the PS VR2 on their PCs.

Unfortunately, there will be some notable differences between using the PS VR2 on PlayStation 5 and on PC. The biggest will be the lack of key features like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble). These will not be available while using a PS VR2 headset on PC. Other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PS VR2 will be supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D audio in supported games.

Principal Product Manager Yasuo Takahashi said:

“While the most immersive way to experience PS VR2 gaming remains on PS5, we hope players will enjoy the ability to play an expanded lineup of VR games on PC using the same headset. You can check out Steam’s huge library of multiplayer open worlds, survival horror and stealth action games, sports sims, puzzlers, and free-to-play fan favorites on the Steam Store.”

As part of the Days of Play celebration, the PS VR2 and the PS VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle (for PS5) for $100 off until June 12.
