PC compatibility for the PlayStation VR2 is being tested by Sony
22.02.2024 - 14:59 / digitaltrends.com / Tomas Franzese / Sony
To celebrate the first anniversary of the PlayStation VR2, Sony revealed a new batch of games coming to its virtual reality headset and confirmed that it’s testing a feature that would let people play PC VR games on their PSVR2.
“We’re pleased to share that we are currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PSVR2 titles available through PS5,” the PlayStation Blog post about PSVR2’s first anniversary teases. “We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.”
That statement seems somewhat intentionally vague, so we don’t know yet if this PC compatibility will come via cloud streaming or a direct wired connection. Hopefully, it works somewhat like Meta Quest Link and will make it possible to play games like Half-Life Alyx and Boneworks on PSVR2. Heading into the second year of its life, PSVR2 sorely needs features like that. In a recent article reflecting on the headset’s first year on the market, I wrote that I was “disappointed now that I understand just how niche the use case for the PSVR2 is within my own VR usage.”

Part of the underwhelming nature of PSVR2 is the lack of exclusives. Although this blog post didn’t do much to fix that problem, it did highlight some new games coming to PSVR2 in the coming months. Today, an Arizona Sunshine 2 update and the spellcasting the first-person shooter Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate will be released on June 27.
Later this year, games like Soul Covenant and Zombie Army VR will come to the PSVR2. None of those feel like headset sellers, but this blog post and the potential for PC compatibility announcement at least give some hope for PSVR2’s second year.

Sony PlayStation VR2 Review: Great gaming experience, but strings attached
Sony PlayStation VR2 Review: Virtual reality (VR) has been dominating the headlines recently. This is largely due to the recent launch of the Apple Vision Pro, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg taking shots at it by saying his Meta Quest is a better option. While these tech behemoths battle on, Sony's latest VR headset, the PlayStation VR2 (or PSVR2), is secretly making its name in the world of gaming, delivering an unmatched experience. It certainly is a huge generational leap over its predecessor but does its promise of PC-grade gaming at $550 have some truth to it? I spent a few weeks with the Sony PlayStation VR2 and it certainly delivers on most aspects, but there are strings attached. Here's why.

Out now in early access, The Tribe Must Survive is Frostpunk for people who love being afraid of the dark
Yesterday I was off sick with a fever and, as I often do when I'm laid up ill, immediately set out to consume the most nihilistic and depressing entertainment media I could find. On the film front, I watched Session 9, in which some men hired to remove asbestos from a collapsing 19th century asylum do not have a very nice time. On the game front, I played The Tribe Must Survive, a colony management sim from Walking Tree Games GmbH and Starbreeze Publishing, which is now available in early access.
