Sony's PSVR 2 will soon be playable on PCs

Sony is currently testing the compatibility of PSVR 2 on PCs The company's gaming headset has been on the market for a full year and features a number of exclusive titles While the device is superior to the original PSVR, it has not had the same great success; compatibility with PC seems like a smart way to bring PSVR 2 to a wider audience

"We are pleased to tell PSVR 2 players that we are currently testing the ability to access additional games on PC in order to offer an even greater variety of games in addition to the PSVR 2 titles offered through PS5," Sony PlayStation Blog We hope to have this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more information," Sony said on the PlayStation Blog

Last year, The Verge asked Sony about PSVR 2 support on PC, to which the company responded, "PSVR 2 is being created for use with the PS5 console" A year later, the Tokyo-based tech giant is singing a different tune Now all we have to rely on is a brief statement from Sony Nevertheless, we are left to ponder what this means for the future of PSVR 2

As we noted at the outset, PSVR 2 has a select number of games that can only be played on this device; once PC support is added, we imagine it will be possible to play any VR game currently available on the platform This would effectively enhance the PSVR 2's game library by a significant number This alone is reason enough to support PCs, but there is one more thing to consider

Several PlayStation-exclusive games, including Marvel's Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Death Stranding, have migrated to the PC over the past few years, with more to come soon for PC Regarding first-party games, Sony president and PlayStation chairman Hiroki Toki recently said the company is "actively working" to offer more titles on other platforms (via Eurogamer) Taken together, it is not hard to imagine that PSVR 2 exclusive titles will eventually make their way to PC

While it remains to be seen how this will play out, the prospect of PSVR 2 supporting the PC is interesting Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops!
