Yay?
A PlayStation VR2 PC adapter will become available in August and retails for $60 USD, Sony has today announced. The adapter will require a PSVR2 headset and Steam.
Available from 7 August, we don’t have official confirmation from Sony Australia as to how much locals will pay for the adapter. We do know that the adapter requires a DisplayPort cable which does not come with the peripheral. Erm, the peripheral’s peripheral.
“To start, players will need to purchase a PlayStation VR2 PC adapter,” Sony said. “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.
“Setup is easy: simply connect PlayStation VR2 to your PC using the PS VR2 PC adapter and the DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Then, download the PlayStation VR2 App and the SteamVR App from Steam. This will allow you to set up PS VR2 on your PC, customize your settings and play area, and start purchasing and playing games in SteamVR,” Sony continued.
Most importantly, some features — including “HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble)” — will not be available when using PSVR2 via Steam.
At the beginning of 2023, Jay called the headset “crazy good” and “crazy expensive” in his review.
“While I really love the VR2 and don’t for a moment regret paying for one at launch, I can’t in good conscience recommend others pony up so much cash at this early stage,” he said. “When an inevitable pre-Christmas price drop happens this year or next — and assuming some well-priced, quality titles are released or make their way on to the PS+ games library — the PSVR2 will become a must buy.”
At the time of writing, you can grab a PSVR2 headset for $879 AUD, or $959 AUD with Horizon Call of the Mountain packed in. A PS5 is also required for play… or soon, a PC.
