PS VR2 owners can soon play Steam VR games... for a cost, of course.
After leaking earlier this year, it was officially announced today that PC support will be coming to PlayStation VR2. On August 7th, the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter will be released at retailers and through the company's official website. The adapter will be priced at $59.99, and will allow players to start enjoying VR games on their PC through Steam .
"While the most immersive way to experience PS VR2 gaming remains on PS5, we hope players will enjoy the ability to play an expanded lineup of VR games on PC using the same headset. You can check out Steam's huge library of multiplayer open worlds, survival horror and stealth action games, sports sims, puzzlers, and free-to-play fan favorites on the Steam Store," PlayStation's blog post reads.
Will This Result in More PS VR2 Units Being Sold?It remains to be seen whether this move will lead to stronger interest in PS VR2. Back in March, a report from Bloomberg indicated that Sony paused production on PS VR2 due to having a lot of units sitting unsold. VR has always been pretty niche, and the cost of PS VR2 is prohibitive; at $549.99, PS VR2 costs more than a PS5! PS VR2 is currently discounted by $100 as part of the Days of Play sale, though that price drop is temporary.
In theory, this adapter could help PlayStation compete with other VR options on the market. However, PS VR2 is still more expensive than Meta Quest, and that doesn't even factor in the extra costs including the console itself and now an adapter. Some current VR2 owners probably aren't going to be thrilled about having to pay the cost of a video game to get an adapter so they can go buy other games to play on their PC.
