PSVR2 PC support has PC players excited

The PC gaming community has taken the news of PSVR2 PC support incredibly well, congratulating Sony on the move. This is undoubtedly part of Sony’s recent push towards the PC platform, which kicked off with blockbuster AAA titles such as Uncharted and God of War.

User Parris goes on to say that “it’s about time” and that the move would make the VR headset a lot more appealing to consumers this way.

Another user laments buying a Meta Quest 3, admitting that they would rather purchase a PSVR2 PC support capable setup instead.

Yet another user chimed in, expressing regret on selling their PSVR2 prior - to many, the PSVR2 was an expensive, niche product with too few games to support it until the announcement. The user mentions that they would love to test Half-Life Alyx on it.

Other users were a bit underwhelmed by the move, going on to say that the PSVR2 PC support should have been there since launch and that the move is a bit too late now. Regardless, users are glad that PC support is being officially added, regardless of the date.

User Jake jokingly remarks on being excited to test PSVR2 support on PC via his “PS5 Pro”, which is a beefy gaming PC.

Some users are not thrilled with the lack of backward compatibility with the PSVR1; however, they lament that we received PSVR2 support on PC first instead.

Many are hoping for official SteamVR support, something that would definitely sell the PSVR2 further and add to its popularity on PC.

The news surrounding official PC support was stealthily released on the PlayStation Blog and curiously coincides with PlayStation’s new move to push games on PC, day one. With the recent massive success of Helldivers 2, it is indeed an exciting time to be a PC gamer. Games going multiplatform is always a win for players, and the way things are going in the gaming industry, things look better than ever. PC support for the PSVR2 is expected to mature over time.
