I doubt Sony is making much, if anything, on psvr2. It’s a really high value device for the price.you can pay a lot more and get less.
So it’s hard to see a world where this happens. What’s the end result here? Sony loses game sales, and valve gets a free extra bump.
I’m guessing they want to cut their losses and release the few games they made for it on PC
I recall it being said before the device came out that it wouldn’t be compatible with PC. How the worm turns.
that’s because it wasn’t. it still isn’t. the best hardware in the world won’t do anything for you if there’s no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony’s announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.
no one ever said it couldn’t be done.
Yes, please!
PSVR2 is a great headset, and I would love to free it from the shackles of PS5 exclusivity. If they officially supported PC, it would easily be the best PCVR headset you can get right now.
Oh wow it has eye tracking! I have high hopes for that feature.
But what I really want is to see and use my keyboard in VR and have an optimized desktop environment to pull up some text or document website quickly. I felt a bit trapped the last time I used VR and had to refer to documentations.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sony’s PlayStation VR2 headset is designed to work exclusively with a PS5, but the company is now testing out support for PC.
While the original PSVR headset got unofficial support for PC, Sony now says it’s working on allowing PSVR 2 owners to connect the headset to a PC gaming rig.
“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,” says Sony in a blog post today.
Up until now, Sony had been dodging questions about getting the PlayStation VR2 headset working on a PC.
We asked Sony about PSVR 2 support for PC a year ago, but the company would only say “the PSVR2 is created for use with the PS5 console.” When we tested the headset on a PC last year, it was picked up as a second screen by Windows, but SteamVR didn’t recognize the headset.
Modders have been trying to get the PSVR 2 working on a PC ever since its launch, with iVRy attempting to reverse engineer the hardware.
