A PlayStation VR2 PC adapter launches in two months, but it comes with a few compromises.
Sony has finally unveiled its PC adapter for PlayStation VR2, which will be released this August and finally enable players to try games like Half-Life: Alyx with the headset.
PSVR2 sports some impressive tech, but it’s no secret that Sony has failed to support it with compelling games for the PS5. Earlier this year, it was teased that Sony was working on PC compatibility for the headset; now, we’ve learned that this will come in the form of a PC adapter that people can use with a DisplayPort 1.4 cable in order to play VR games through Steam. These are the minimum specs your PC will need in order to get the PSVR2 up and running, straight from the PlayStation Blog.

PC VR games also won’t be able to take advantage of the headset’s haptic feedback, HDR, and eye tracking, which are some of its best features.
That’s all disappointing, but Sony confirms that the see-through view, foveated rendering, 4K visuals, and 110-degree field-of-view will all still work with PC VR games.
