So far, PSVR 2 has been something of a disappointment. Despite decent features, the virtual reality headset costs a chunk of change and has few games to show for it. Breaking free from the confines of PlayStation 5 is the first step in reforming the device, and the PC adapter you need could be here sooner than you’d think.
Discovered by VR enthusiast Brad Lynch, the Korean Radio Research Agency has issued a new certification for “PlayStationVR2 PC adapter.” It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what the regulatory body is referring to. Sony’s upcoming link that’s at least three months in the making will let you use the headset with Steam.
Currently, PlayStationVR2 PC adapter doesn’t have a release date, but gaining certification shows it’s on the horizon. To gain approval from the radio and communications equipment body, Sony needs a working prototype. Experts at the regulator then test it to ensure it meets Korean standards. An informed guess would say it’s either currently in mass production or not far off.
Bringing PSVR 2 to PC is fantastic for current headset owners, but I don’t believe it’ll win new customers. It’s in desperate need of a price cut, as it still costs a lofty £439. Comparatively, Meta Quest 3 blows Sony’s attempt out the water specs-wise, grants access to Meta Store exclusives, and costs $459. Granted, you can’t use that or the cheaper £198 Meta Quest 2 with your PS5.
Aside from a few standout exclusives like Horizon: Call of the Mountain, however, the console doesn’t scratch the surface of PC’s library. Once PSVR 2 works with PC, Sony might even make its first-party games available on the platform. Only time will tell, as nothing’s official yet.
