We’ve known for a little while thatPlayStationis set to make itsPSVR2 headsetcompatible with PC gaming, albeit without some of the unique features it has when connected to a PS5.
Now that’s becoming a lot more concrete, with a PSVR2 app going live towishlist on Steamwith a listed release date of 6 August, just a couple of weeks away. For now, this is listed as a “planned” release date, so it’s not impossible it could slip further.
The app’s store page includes a list of what you’ll be able to do with it as follows:
Crucially, though, you’ll need a sold-separately adapter to access any of these functions – the PlayStation VR2 headset PC adapter, which releases on 7 August and will be priced at £49.99 / $59.99 / €59.99.
The adapter will besold at first through PlayStation’s own direct store, with other retailers potentially to follow.
That’s not even the end of the requirements, since you’ll also need your own DisplayPort cable, one capable of DisplayPort 1.4, to connect everything up, along with a PC that meets the minimum requirements (and a Steam account).
The list of features that won’t work on PC is a little dispiriting, too: HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and advanced haptic feedback will all be disabled.

That means it’ll be very interesting to see how people feel the headset stacks up to alternatives that have PC players more directly in mind, once it’s working in early August.
Until then, those with PSVR2 headsets gathering dust can wishlist the app on Steam and keep an eye on the PlayStation Direct store to see if the adapter goes up for pre-order or simply appears on 7 August ready to order.
