PlayStation VR2 Comes to PC via Steam Soon

Sony has announced that the PlayStation VR2 will soon be compatible with a PC via Steam. The new PlayStation VR2 App will allow users to play VR games and apps on Steam using Sony’s headset and Sense controllers. The app is set to release on August 6, 2024.

The PlayStation VR2 App will enable users to set up their headset and controllers on a Windows PC, update the headset and controller firmware, and adjust settings such as play area and screen brightness directly from the SteamVR dashboard. Users will need the PlayStation VR2 headset, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter, and the app to use the VR headset with other games.

The minimum system requirements for running the PlayStation VR2 App include a 64-bit processor and operating system, Windows 10/11, an Intel Core i5 7600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 processor, 8 GB RAM, and a compatible graphics card such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or later. 

The PlayStation VR2 launched back in February 2023. It is the successor to the original VR headset released for the PS4. Prior to the release of the adaptor and app, it could only be used with a PlayStation 5 and its games.

The PlayStation VR2 is available worldwide for the PS5 and PC.
