Today, PlayStation announced a PSVR2 adapter for PC via the PlayStation Blog. It will allow players to expand the PSVR2 library immediately and play games like Half-Life: Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, and War Thunder.
It will be available on August 7th, but pre-orders are unavailable. We will share the details with you once they have been announced.
To start, players must purchase a PlayStation VR2 PC adapter, which will be available for an estimated retail price of $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99 at select retailers and direct.playstation.com where available. Players will also need a commercially available DisplayPort cable (sold separately) compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, a Steam account, and a PC that meets the minimum requirements below.
Minimum PC requirements
Here are the minimum requirements for PS VR2 gameplay on PC:
Operating system | Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 64-bit |
Processor | Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (Zen 2 or later architecture is required) |
RAM / memory | 8 GB or more |
GPU / graphics card | -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or later (Turing or later architecture is required) -NVIDIA RTX series -AMD Radeon RX 5500XT or later / AMD Radeon RX 6500XT or later (For the best performance, we recommend that you use an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or later or AMD Radeon RX 6600XT or later graphics card) |
DisplayPort | DisplayPort 1.4 (must have a standard DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output port) |
USB | Direct connection only |
Bluetooth | Bluetooth 4.0 or later** |
Setup is easy: simply connect PlayStation VR2 to your PC using the PS VR2 PC adapter and the DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Then, download the PlayStation VR2 App and the SteamVR App from Steam. This will allow you to set up PS VR2 on your PC, customize your settings and play area, and start purchasing and playing games in SteamVR.
As with all PC gaming technology, performance may vary depending on your PC setup, including system compatibility and the quality of your DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Please ensure your setup meets the minimum requirements. SteamVR titles also have individual system requirements, so please refer to the game information on Steam.
Hopefully, this brings life back into the PSVR2 because the headset is one of the best in gaming, and more players can experience it now, too.
