PlayStation has taken a significant step towards expanding the versatility and appeal of its PlayStation VR2 headset by announcing plans to test PC support, aiming for a 2024 launch. This development is a departure from Sony's previous stance, which emphasized the PSVR2 as an accessory designed exclusively for the PlayStation 5 console.
The original PlayStation VR enjoyed unofficial PC support thanks to modders, but Sony's initiative to test and potentially offer PC support hints at a more inclusive future for the platform. By allowing the PSVR2 to connect to PC gaming rigs, Sony is expanding the device's usability while tapping into the vast and diverse library of VR content available on PC. This decision could significantly enhance the value proposition of the PSVR2 for consumers, making it an attractive option for both PlayStation and PC gamers alike.
Sony's announcement was made through a blog post, which highlighted the company's intention to offer PSVR2 players "even more game variety" by accessing additional titles on PC. This move is seen as a way to complement the existing PSVR2 titles available on PS5.
