Sony recently “released” a PC adapter that lets you play PC VR games using a PSVR 2 headset. Only problem? It sold out everywhere almost instantly. It’s been virtually impossible to find in stock. Good news is, it’s currently back in stock at Amazon as well as Best Buy – but I wouldn’t dilly dally if you want to get your hands on one. Who knows how long it will stick around?
Where to Buy PSVR 2 PC Adapter
- Get it at Amazon - $59.99
- Get it at Best Buy - $59.99
- See it at GameStop - SOLD OUT
- See it at Target - SOLD OUT
- See it at PS Direct - SOLD OUT
The adapter costs $59.99, but it’s all you need to connect a PlayStation VR 2 headset to a gaming PC in order to run any SteamVR game in your library. That includes tons of games that aren’t available on PS5, like Half-life: Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR, and plenty more. It’s a great li’l dongle for anyone with a gaming PC rig who picked up a PSVR 2 and is looking for more games to play on it.
What You Need to Use PSVR 2 on PC
Hardware-wise, you need the PC adapter (see above) and a PSVR 2 headset (currently on sale at Amazon and Walmart) – as well as a VR-capable gaming PC, naturally. You’ll also need to download the PlayStation VR2 and SteamVR apps from Steam. You can find the minimum PC requirements and more details on the PlayStation Blog.
In addition to the convenience of using one headset to play all of your VR games, what really stands out about PSVR2 on PC is the OLED display. It makes everything look bright and clear and vivid. However, the drawback for using PSVR2 on PC is that PCs can’t take advantage of some of the unique features you can access when playing on PS5. That includes things like eye tracking, HDR, and adaptive trigger support.
