PlayStation VR2 Latest Firmware Update Enables PC Access, Suggesting Support via Direct Connection
21.03.2024 - 13:45 / wccftech.com / Francesco De Meo / Sony
The PlayStation VR2 latest firmware update enables PC access, suggesting the headset will likely work on PC via a direct connection.
As reported on X/Twitter by iVRy, the latest firmware update for the headset makes it so it is no longer required to use driver or hardware workarounds to make it work on Windows, although it is still early to tell if the update enables NVIDIA use. A "VirtualLink" adapter of some sort will still be required due to how the headset is designed, and if Sony is planning to release official PC drivers, they will also need to provide this adapter to users. Also, nothing in the headset's firmware suggests Sony may employ a streaming solution.

Making the PlayStation VR2 work on PC without a PlayStation 5 console would definitely boost the headset's popularity considerably and help Sony sell the units that have been produced so far, which are reportedly so many that the Japanese company paused production for the time being. With PC access now possible, it is only a matter of time until we learn how the headset will be supported on PC.
You can learn more about the PlayStation VR2 headset by checking out our review.
Sony’s PlayStation VR2 headset had a lot to prove to justify a cost higher than that of the base PlayStation 5 console needed to operate it. The hands-on test confirms that this is how next-gen should look and play in virtual reality with an experience unlike anything else in the HMD space. Every aspect of the first PlayStation VR has been improved (aside from Cinematic Mode largely remaining as is) with no expense spared for comfort and design. This is the sort of revolution in virtual reality that can showcase not just the experiences that are fun to play but also those that can take advantage of the next-generation console’s power. As new experiences are brought to PlayStation VR2, the value can only improve, but the initial cost of admission may leave some players wanting to take the headset for a test drive first before investing in something the price of a second PlayStation 5.
