Sony is testing PlayStation VR2 compatibility on PC
Sony has confirmed that it is currently testing PlayStation VR2 compatibility on PC, allowing access to more games beyond the PS5's library.
The details:
In a new blog post about the platform's upcoming games, the company confirmed that PS VR2 support is scheduled to be available on PC this year. “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”, Sony said. “We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.”
The PS VR2 was released in February 2023, and despite reports that the headset had a slow start in terms of sales, it was revealed that over 600,000 units had been sold in the first three months. The platform benefited from the release of exclusive VR modes for Resident Evil 4 Remake and Village, as well as Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
Modders have, unsurprisingly, found ways to make the PS VR2 work on PC, allowing it to be used in SteamVR. Despite this, it is still far from fully usable, and official Sony support may open the door for popular games such as Rec Room to be available on the platform.
