PS VR2 Firmware Update Adds PC Support, But There’s a Catch
21.03.2024 - 23:17 / gamerant.com / Brett Byll / Sony
Sony has finally added PC support to PlayStation VR2, but it comes with the caveat of needing to own a PS5. The PS VR2 has been one of Sony's most interesting endeavors this generation. There have been many releases that have pulled the attention of PlayStation fans open to the tech, such as Resident Evil 4: VR Mode, which some gamers believe is the best way to play the remake of one of Capcom's greatest hits. There have been obstacles adjusting to VR, though.
VR consoles, although widely discussed, are not as popular as they could be. ThePS VR2 does not drive sales nearly as much as its biggest supporters would like. That being said, there are plenty of VR enthusiasts who have nothing but praise for PS VR2, believing it to be the best virtual reality gaming setup on the market. Some users have wanted to enjoy the PS VR2 on their gaming PCs, which may be capable of running games better than the PS5, if their setups are fine-tuned enough.
This week, Sony released a firmware update that allows PC support for PS VR2. Gamers who have been looking for a way to do this easily are excited. Despite this progress, players who want to enjoy the use of the PS VR2, which as of right now costs $549.99, will also need to own a PS5, which costs approximately $499.99. Use of the devices on PC comes with the assumption that the user owns a modern PC that can run PS VR games and is compatible with the hardware. All of these requirements lead to a particularly high bar for entry. Gamers will need to spend at least $1,000 if they want to enjoy the VR experience on PC. The PS VR2 has potential, but it needs support to succeed at the level of the PS5.
The PS VR2 has a system-selling title.Horizon Call of the Mountain drives system interest and many believe it to be an experience that does make the PS VR2 worth it, but that is only after the fact. From the price alone, gamers who otherwise may have been interested in VR gaming may not even bother, especially when they can already play the most popular games around on the PS5 or PC.
PlayStation VR2 has a great selection of games available to users, but the number of people who can appreciate those games is not going to grow if they are not incentivized, and the price point acts more as a deterrent to gamers looking for value rather than a mark of quality. WithSony halting production of the PS VR2, there does not seem to be an optimistic outlook for the rest of the system's life, but it is always possible that with the right games and a price cut, PS VR2 could bring in new fans.
