Yes. Why cough up the investment when you already have hardware that can do the job.

Well it’s maybe gonna prevent this hardware from becoming the VR equivalent of an expensive Sega Genesis add-on flop.
If they had done the same with the VR1 it could have had even more sales and software support.

Ridiculous it wasn't there day 1 but when it happens I'm selling in the rift s and getting one
Sony Interactive Entertainment is currently testing PC support for its PlayStation VR2 headset with plans to launch in 2024, the company announced.
In a PlayStation Blog post featuring updates on upcoming PlayStation VR2 games, Sony Interactive Entertainment content communications manager Gillen McAllister said, “We’re pleased to share that we are currently testing the ability for PlayStation VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PlayStation VR2 titles available through PlayStation 5. We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.”
Further details were not announced.

Still it should not pull the same 200w as when running a PS5 game. It should be like using the PSVR2 to watch YouTube videos.

PSVR1 works for Steam VR. It's not supported by Sony, but the IVRY driver is good enough. However I can only recommend in for racers, flight simulators and similar kinds of games that don't require proper VR controllers.

Is that another pay if you wanna use it thing? Either way I meant official drivers from Sony themselves.

IVRY driver is from an independent creator. It's cheap on Steam.

I think you're spot on. I knew when i purchased it, it was a waste of money but whatever. I was so disappointed with the lack of quality compared to the meta 3

Damn, after reading up on Meta Quest 3 it seems like I might be better off going that route instead. It can be used wirelessly and already has PCVR support.
I've waited this long for PCVR so I'll wait to see how PSVR2 turns out on PC, but I'm leaning towards the Quest 3 at the moment, maybe when PSVR2 is out I can get a better deal on Quest 3, its too bad PSVR2 can't be used wirelessly.

I'm really interested to see this up next to my Quest 3 running off the same rig for a proper comparison.
I think I prefer the larger sweet spot and wireless on the quest vs. the Oled and wired but I'd like to do an Apples for Apples comparison.
I loved my first PSVR and got the PSVR2 for the exclusives but at this point it's the only set I kinda regret grabbing. I thought Sony would really get behind the product with some solid 1st party efforts but they have shown the thing little to no love. Might end up using it more as a PCVR set at this point cause attached to my PS5 the thing is a dust collector. On PC it might be a great alternative to the Meta, only thing I can't imagine is the eye tracking will be enabled or how that will work. It would maybe need to be patched per game or just not work at all?
Also total side note; but am I the only one who thinks some of these VR sets have become more uncomfortable over time. Both the PSVR2 and Meta 3 required all kinds of 3rd party straps and pads and shit to make them even remotely comfortable, and even then they are hot, unbalanced/weighty feeling on my head, and both leave me with a fucking lobotomy scar on my forehead after about 30 minutes of play. I honestly preferred the comfort of my OG Vive with the standard straps, and that thing was a weighty beast in comparison; although I did replace the face shield with something softer and easer to clean now that I think about it.
Why is it so hard for them to make something comfortable? Would love to spend more time in VR but I usually tap out because it gets too hot or my head starts to feel like it's in a fucking vice. They need to make options for folks that aren't living in tiny bodies or pinheads.

I have both a PS5 and a PC already, so that's not an issue.

I'd get the refurbished PSVR2 for 399. Just check the lenses for scratches.

Wait. Are you sure about those numbers?
I had Quest 2, Pico 4 and have PSVR2 and recently bought Quest 3 (dem sanctions!) and I'm pretty sure that Quest 3 is brighter than PSVR2. Sadly I don't have a PS5 right now to compare them directly.
Maybe 265 nits on PSVR2 is a max HDR brightness in 1-2% window and not fullscreen brightness?
Again I'm sure that Quest 3 is brightest of them all. I mean I never used my PSVR2 other than at max brightness and still it looked dim for me. I use my Quest 3 at 75-90% - anything above feels too bright and bit uncomfortable. (Also black levels are raised to much at max brightness.)

I unironically think the complete lack of VR porn hurt PSVR2. One thing about guys is they love whacking off.

Which is why Square needs to add in a VR mode to FF7 Rebirth for Tifa’s titties. 10+ million video views should convince just about any higher-up.

This model will be immediately ripped and put in Honeyselect 2/ whatever else the moment the PC version drops

I don't understand this comment. Isn't the thread about making psvr2 work on pc without needing a ps5?

Yes.

There's no proof of concept or wording that explicitly states it'll just connect right up to a PC. There's a few issues in place preventing it from doing so. So they'd likely need to release a dongle at a minimum.
Or just release a free app on the PS5 like Steam Link. Which would be a fully wired loop from the PC to PSVR2.
Until there's more details, while it may be preferable if it just connected to a PC with a USB cable, it's possible it may not be that.

Except now you need a capable PC to play PCVR games. People are given the false impression that you can just play any PCVR on any PC which is not true.

PC VR hasn't really evolved much at all from Alyx. So what was bleeding edge 4 years ago, with the 1000 or 2000 series cards, is a fairly low level gaming PC now. Pretty much any 3000 series card or above gives great results over Virtual Desktop.
Even $1000 gaming laptops can run stuff like Alyx without trouble now (where a laptop costs significantly more than a desktop of the same speed).
But yes, if you only have something with no discreet GPU/graphics card, you will need to invest another $500+ in to a PC.

Anyone know if the people looking into using PSVR2 with PC were a part of the massive lay offs? Didn’t some of the VR teams get hit?

Or you could get Meta Quest 3 which doesn't need a PC or console to play VR games. That's one of the huge benefits Meta Quest 3 has over PSVR2.
With PSVR2 you have to spend at least $1000 on a PS5 + PSVR2 (unless you buy used). Meta Quest 3 you can be playing games at only $500 (or less if used).

Why would I get a quest 3 when I have a ps5? I didn't get a psvr2 for my son just for support to be shifted to PC.

You wouldn't, but someone who doesn't have a PS5 or a capable PC could just get a Meta Quest 3 and not have to worry about additional hardware to get into VR gaming. Way cheaper than PSVR2 + PS5 combo.
Who says support is shifting to PC? PC support is being added. PS5 is still getting PSVR2 support

If that’s the case there is almost no point in releasing it for PC. Streaming PC games? Might as well get a Quest indeed.
I have a biggish ground fan blowing upwards towards me all the time while wearing the Quest3. I cannot go without in the summer.

Did you not see that Sony shut down one of its main VR studios and layoff a bunch at another VR developer?You wouldn't, but someone who doesn't have a PS5 or a capable PC could just get a Meta Quest 3 and not have to worry about additional hardware to get into VR gaming.

Some background update

Sony released a firmware update for PS VR2 that seems to have greatly increased compatibility with PCs. I can now use the PS VR2 on my AMD 6900xt's USB-C port with a stock Linux kernel and no EDID override. They also seem to have enabled the VR 90Hz mode that didn't work before. I had thought...
