Ever since the release of Sony's PSVR2 headset, there have been calls from virtual reality enthusiasts to make the headset compatible with PC. It seems like Sony may finally be listening as certification for a "PlayStationVR2 PC adapter" has appeared on the Korean National Radio Research Agency website.
While it may be the Meta and Valve?
First spotted by Brad Lynch on X (formerly Twitter), the listing for the PSVR 2 adapter appears on the Korean National Radio Research Agency site as part of a certification status search result.
While Sony confirmed this expanded compatibility in a blog post in February 2024, no timeline was set on when we could expect it to become a reality. This new development suggests that work is still being done, but it could be closer than we expect.
Despite this, the dominance that the Valve Index have on PC VR, at least according to the Steam Hardware Survey, suggests that it is too little, too late from Sony. These three headsets for just over 69% of the active VR headsets on Steam, with the original PlayStation VR sitting at just 0.06%.
On the surface, it feels like this move will only benefit players who already own a PSVR2 for their PS5, and perhaps have a VR-capable gaming PC ready to use. While Sony could make moves, like a deep price-cut, to push the headset onto a larger audience, it feels like the right moment has long ed by.
