With the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter, players can expand their game library with thousands of SteamVR titles.
When PlayStation VR2 launched last year, we were thrilled to introduce PS5 players to a new generation of VR games with innovative gameplay and immersive sensory features. Inspired by our passion to bring gamers even more content options, we’ve been working to enable access to additional games on PC, complementing the diverse PS VR2 games lineup available on PS5. Today, we’re happy to share that we’ll be rolling out this support on August 7.
Players will have access to buy and play Steam’s expansive library of thousands of VR games, including fan favorites like Half-Life: Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, and War Thunder.
To start, players will need to purchase a PlayStation VR2 PC adapter, which will be available for an estimated retail price of $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99 at select retailers and direct.playstation.com where available. Players will also need a commercially available DisplayPort cable (sold separately) that is compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, as well as a Steam account and a PC that meets the minimum requirements below.*
Minimum PC requirements
Here are the minimum requirements for PS VR2 gameplay on PC:
| Operating system | Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (Zen 2 or later architecture is required) |
| RAM / memory | 8 GB or more |
| GPU / graphics card | -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or later (Turing or later architecture is required) -NVIDIA RTX series -AMD Radeon RX 5500XT or later / AMD Radeon RX 6500XT or later (For the best performance, we recommend that you use an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or later or AMD Radeon RX 6600XT or later graphics card) |
| DisplayPort | DisplayPort 1.4 (must have a standard DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output port) |
| USB | Direct connection only |
| Bluetooth | Bluetooth 4.0 or later** |
Setup is easy: simply connect PlayStation VR2 to your PC using the PS VR2 PC adapter and the DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Then, download the PlayStation VR2 App and the SteamVR App from Steam. This will allow you to set up PS VR2 on your PC, customize your settings and play area, and start purchasing and playing games in SteamVR.
As with all PC gaming technology, performance may vary depending on your PC setup, including system compatibility and the quality of your DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Please ensure your setup meets the minimum requirements. SteamVR titles also have individual system requirements, so please refer to the game information on Steam.
Feature differences with PS VR2 on PS5
PS VR2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5 – so you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC. However, other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PS VR2 are supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D Audio in supported games.***
While the most immersive way to experience PS VR2 gaming remains on PS5, we hope players will enjoy the ability to play an expanded lineup of VR games on PC using the same headset. You can check out Steam’s huge library of multiplayer open worlds, survival horror and stealth action games, sports sims, puzzlers, and free-to-play fan favorites on the Steam Store.
Additionally, as part of our Days of Play celebration, gamers in select regions can get $100 off PS VR2 and the PS VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle (for PS5) until June 12. Be sure to check direct.playstation.com (available in select markets) and participating local retailers, as offers and promotion dates may vary by region.
Let us know which games you’re excited to try!
*While DisplayPort 1.4 is a common standard, be sure to check that your PC supports it before purchasing a cable.
**Some Bluetooth adapters may not work due to Bluetooth adapter compatibility. We will share more details closer to launch.
***The 3D Audio experience uses SteamVR’s audio technology instead of Tempest 3D AudioTech, which is only supported on PS5.
Next hardware release: individual replacement controllers for PSVR2?! 🙏🙏
Would have been nice if they actually released it when they said they were going to
How about we get Half Life Alyx on PSVR2 since we can tell that you guys are aware by using it for PC promotion.
I’m looking forward to being able to make my own VR games in Unreal Engine. Hopefully Sony will have a booth at Unreal Fest next year.
I think this is Awesome. I have just recently built my first PC to experience all types of Gaming alongside my PS5. I already have the PSVR2 and was about to pull the trigger on an exclusive VR set for my PC until I saw the Buzz about what I already had in my “Toy Box”.
So my game plug of choice will be to bring Gran Turismo to PC. I have had PlayStation since the first Gran Turismo. Yes I’m retired and I still play games because of you and I’m Damn proud of it!! There is still a population of us that have scratched and saved to buy a “PS Whatever” since 1995. Every PlayStation I have every owned always went to those that didn’t or could not afford one. I just gave away my PS4, VR, and 35 physical games to a coworker with a young son at my part time job. She was in tears to get so much and Its been great to do this every time you come out with something new. So my experiences have been most enjoyable and pleasant for nearly 30 years.
Thank you for making sure I stayed a kid all these years!! I plan on being a kid for the next 30 years as well. (without getting a second job for extra money..LOL)
Thank you for reading!!
I’ve been waiting a very long time for an actual Release Date for this to happen. Very smart decision on Sony’s part to integrate with Steam games. I’m all in , and can’t wait for August.
