#PSVR2 #VR #quest3
VR isn't "shifting focus" to AR in the same way that normal, flat games didn't "shift focus" to VR when VR became readily available. The two things are distinct technologies with distinct use cases. It's never "too late" for support like this. Even if all PCVR development died today, which it obviously hasn't, there's still nearly a decade of VR content to play, as well as evergreen stuff like VRchat and heavily community driven games like H3VR. If anything the big boon of PCVR support for PSVR2 is that it totally eliminates the "which platform do I buy?" anxiety when picking a VR headset for someone who is interested. If you have a PC and a PS5 and were before debating which headset to get because you don't want to miss out on any games, well now the choice is easy. The PSVR2 is an amazing headset and nearly every review of the thing mentions how they wish it worked on PC. And now it does. In one move the PSVR2 becomes the best PCVR headset in its price range and becomes a semi-future-proof purchase. It'll make me use the thing more, because now I won't have to swap between a Rift S and PSVR2 depending on what game I'm in the mood for.
fair enough!
This is the comment I was hoping someone had made. +1
This resonates with me. I've got a powerful PC and a PS5 solely for Gran Turismo, and I've been eyeing PSVR for quite some time now, especially for GT VR. However, I found it hard to justify the cost solely for this particular use.
@@dr0gaNPSVR2 is so worth it. GT7 is great in VR… but, that’s just the tip of the iceberg in games.
I own the the PSVR 2 and I love it on my PS5!! it would be a super big plus if I can also play on my PC!! looking forward to it!!
I think it could work out quite well, the fact you only need one screen (the PS VR) rather than a triple monitor setup and it gives you depth perception, you don't have to charge it, you don't have to sign in to Meta it's a very good option for PC gaming.
Or you can get headtracking and use just one monitor.
That's how I play DCS, headtracking is kind of mandatory when flying in jet.
Wow where does it cost $700 or $800? In the USA you can get the PS5 digital for $400 and the PSVR2 for $550. I’ve played quite a few PSVR2 games now and it’s been really fun.
So sorry, I always say my prices like that because I’m used to Japanese yen prices being roughly 1 usd to 100 JPY. Force of bad habit. At the current exchange rate it’s nothing like that but since average wages haven’t really changed in Japan it feels like I’m still spending the equivalent of 7-800 usd.
@@NihongoGamer no worries! I think the ps5/psvr2 is a good deal if you don’t already have a gaming pc. Love the channel. Keep up the good work.
Singapore country does indeed cost $700 to $800 range for psvr2
One really cool game on PSVR2 that uses Eye-tracking as a gameplay mechanic is 'Before your eyes'. It originally came out on Steam and you would use your webcam and blink with your eyes to progress through the game. Although for me it didn't really work that well and I would often pause the game to recalibrate the webcam. Sounds amazing to play that game with proper eye-tracking.
Oh yeah I saw the trailer for that! Is it out already? I wanna try it!!
before your eyes is really good! do not pass it
Oh yea Psvr2 eye tracking is scary accurate lol. I wish there was a doctor who psvr2 game with weeping angels. Switchback Vr kind of does this in one section but it's not enough.
i think to make the psvr2 compatible with pc is for people who own a pc and ps5 and wanna get into vr for the first time. It makes psvr2 much more atractive
Apart from this, seeing how Sony shut down its London studio that was focused on solely VR games, it seems like Sony is planning to drop support soon because it didn’t sell well. I’m waiting for a price drop on this.
4:00 well... me 🤷🏼♂️
I have a SIM-rig worth 10k, a gaming PC worth 5k and a PS5, but no VR-headset and would love to have the PSVR2 as a compatible headset for both my units. I've actually been waiting to buy it for it to be PC compatible.
This headset is amazing, its a lot lower in price plus has well over 200 games that are spot on, I can't say enough this bit of kit is mind blowing with the PS5 alone. The quest 3 is a different connection and has a native 90 hz.
>How many people buying a psvr2 don't have any other headset, how many have a psvr2 and a pc that can run vr games?
I'm surprisingly close to that situation.
The only other vr headset I have is the PSVR1, and I bought it used, only had it for a few months. It only works with ps4 games... But it was enough for me to want a better vr experience.
The funny part is that I did NOT expect to buy OR have a ps5. I won one by chance, and then sony announced PSVR2. Way before that, back in 2020, I decided "I'm gonna go the pc route now. Don't want to be stuck on console". And I did. My pc is strong enough for pcvr nowadays.
Main issue is... Linux user. Best option for me is the Valve Index, and it's not even sold in my country. IF the pc support also expands to linux like most sony hardware did in the past, then it's a safer, cheaper, and overall good enough option. I'll buy one IF it turns out as a good linux option.
I love my PS5 and PSVR2, and I also have a Quest 2 that I like. To me, buying the PS5 and PSVR2 was so much cheaper than buying something like a Valve Index (1,000 USD) and then a crazy expensive computer with a 4090 video card that's over1,700 bucks, of course I could get a cheaper card, but my point is that the Valve Index headset alone is much more, also even if you don't play
VR games consoles are going to be cheaper than gaming pcs. Some people say you get more for your money with Quest 3, that's true but PSVR2 has oled lenses, it seems like at this price it should be easy to buy both, again this is not like buying a gaming PC and then a VR headset. I love the Quest 3, but since I got more games than I can handle, I'm going to wait for Quest 4.
Even for PC only VR users, PSVR2 just so happens to fit in very nicely into the PC VR market. Cheaper side is Quest 3 and more expensive side is Bigscreen Beyond/Valve index. Majority PC VR uses lighthouse tracking which is a pain to setup, and can get very expensive. Only other headset with inside-out tracking is the Quest. Eye tracking isn't really found stock on many headsets rn. OLED screens aren't super common yet. Adaptive triggers are only on Playstation so that'll be cool. It's a very nice middle ground with nearly premium features, aside from the lack of proper speakers and volume buttons for some reason.
I couldn't get into Gran Turismo in VR. My one game would be Squadrons on PS5 with PSVR1 with a HOTAS. If I ever had to migrate to PC for VR, I would, but PlayStation has been great for me. Lot's of good games on PSVR1 and 2.
Wires mean power.
I want wires.
This move from Sony..in my mind is a very smart one. This headset already knocks the valve index off its feet..by pure specs and those oled screens. Imagine pcvr with those haptics and that oled screen. I am am now positive for the furure of vr.
The PSVR2 is far from dead I bought me and my wife and I can’t even tell you how amazing it is PlayStation always been about the games forget all that extra stuff and the game that are on psvr2 are Great you see PSVR2 is about Quality performance not only that the simplicity of being able to play my regular ps5 games emerged in darkness on a BIG OLED SCREEN OR WATCH MY MOVIES IS SO DOPE AND AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE Now that it will be playable on PC that just open up another door to a ton of games so now PSVR2 has quality and quantity 💯 I’m telling you guys do not count Sony PSVR2 out this is just the beginning and if you haven’t try it out go and by you one now trust me

I’ll buy one 100% if this happens. I’ve been torn between the oculus 3 or psvr2. I want the psvr2 to play the ps5 vr games but the price tag isn’t worth it for a few games (2-5 maybe) vs oculus 3 where the library is HUGE but doesn’t have some of the psvr2 games :-/. So yes. I’ll buy a psvr2 IF they make it work on pc
The main problem with Quest 3 is the company behind it and those behind the company, in my meaningless opinion. They've played very dirty in the past with Facebook user data and literal psychological manipulation of the curated newsfeed that affected at least hundreds of thousands of users back in the day. So has Sony played dirty with DRM tricks and whatnot. The overall concern with SONY's hardware accessing the operating system, as I see it, is the potential biometric & environmental data that could be leaked to the OS & fed back to a 3rd party like with simple telemetry data. Once this data is out there, there's no going back and its potential misuse by a single bad actor is off the scale!!!!! Serious privacy concerns with all the current headsets. The driver module / firmware should be open sourced or verified safe somehow before this is even allowed to be considered, especially, for young people who don't understand the privacy concerns fully.
Very wise to stay wary of the privacy aspect! As technology gets closer and closer to our faces, eyes and thumbs there’s very little biometric data we have left to protect.
One more thing the psvr2 has over the quest 3 i believe is that the screens are OLED
Oh yeah true. Though the grainy moire effect is a bit first gen
Gonna buy the PSVR 2 to play flight simulator and space sim (and some racing games, beat saber and superhot VR) that's the VR headset I was waiting, so glad it's gonna be officially compatible on PC and that's certainly not with a quest 3 that I could play flight simulator with good graphics, only if connected directly to my PC I can achieve that
I bought it mainly for GT7, but I will play other games on it like Tetris, Humanity, Resident Evil and No Man’s Sky….
Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality headsets were typically used for PC VR gaming. They were launched in 2017 and the most current of those was the HP Reverb G2 in 2020. There hasn't been a dedicated Tethered VR headset under $600 in the last 3 years other than the PSVR2 which was launched in 2023. Although the Meta Quest does offer a tethered experience it doesn't offer the same resolution and refresh rate 120Hz. Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality headsets are being deprecated in the next Windows 11 update 24H2 and apps aren't being updated after November 2026. The PSVR2 could offer an upgrade path to those moving on from the PC Mixed Reality headsets. The Windows Mixed Reality headsets also used a HDMI + USB-A connector cable to the headset for tethering the device. The PSVR2 will require a similar cable but instead require an adapter that connects a Display Port + USB-A connector with external power delivery of 12V for it's USB-C cable.
I don't have a VR, but I do have a PS5 and a PC that can probably run it fine. I had the PSVR1 for a week but I returned it because I got really sick lol. I'd get the PSVR2 if it wasn't $600.
I think PSVR2 having PC support instantly makes me thinking that Valve will release Steam Link on PSN. I hope that this isn't the case and we can just plug the bad boi and go.
I hope we can plug directly to pc!!
Sony isn't going to allow a PS5 app that streams VR content from your PC for a number of reasons, even if they got Valve to make it: no guarantees of wifi quality and latency leading to countless complaints, the idea of having wireless connection quality while still needing to be wired... I think everyone can agree that sounds at least a little stupid when we all know it could just be an adapter that they can sell you while bypassing the need to create and maintain a new app. And Sony has no precedent for developing an app on their consoles that would talk to your PC at that level. And remember how long it took for them to get Discord working on PS5? Just to get party chat with other platforms? Yeah no. We're getting an adapter. The iVRy guy is in denial.
Ready to go with this on pc just picked up a new but opened one with warranty on eBay for 350 quid. 🎉
Not many games? Only about 180 in the first year.
Sorry if I gave that impression. Tried to explain in the video that I just play gt7 and not because of the library, just because I only really need psvr2 for that one game.
@@NihongoGamer No worries, you also say you use No Mans Sky, just wonder why you play this on PS5 as it's available for PC too. You may also like to check out Switchback VR, and Synapse for the control aspects.
Never considered a psvr device as it required the console and yea, i already own the console but the thought of putting another $500+ into it just to play a handful of dedicated games was a nonstarter for me. The quest 3 does more than just play games and isnt anchored to another device/console so id get more value out of that than a psvr personally
The huge benefit I can think of besides the games that will become available is that the PSVR 1 got a very decent image boost with the Pro. If the same thing happens with mid range to high end GPUs this would be amazing! Imagine those games at higher resolution and fidelity for what is on screen vs what is in the headset.
I hadn’t considered that! Ps5 pro could def be a boost.
From a number of reports, the cable on the PSVR2 is not hardwired but you need to dismantle the strap to replace it. For PSVR2 PC support there are 2 ways they could do it. They could just support streaming from the PC to a PS5 then to the headset or else they could support plugging the headset directly into a PC (potentially requiring a special dongle). If they go the streaming route then I doubt it will have much impact on PSVR2 sales. If they go the direct plug-in to PC route then it could help sales a bit more because people could buy one headset and use it with 2 platforms. The problem is that the Quest is cheaper and it can already be used to play both PCVR games and standalone games. It's a tough sell for the PSVR2. I think the best way to increase demand for the PSVR2 would be for Sony to release many future games as hybrid flat/VR to take advantage of the large flat gaming market while telling gamers that they can improve & upgrade their experiences by playing those same games in VR.
Thanks for the info!!
6:51. Yes the USB cable can easily be replaced. Also the cable is actually a good thing.
External processing means that the graphical power is far superior to a standalone headset like quest.
And the picture quality and latency are far superior to someone wirelessly streaming from a PC.
The cable is very long and never gets in the way of my gaming.
Psve2 also has HDR I haven't tried it but I could imagine that it looks great with movies
This is great news! I can’t wait to use my psvr2 for all the racing sims on pc.
I'm more willing to buy if it works really well on PC
What are you thoughts on Apple Vision Pro? Since you brought it up in the video, are you gonna make a full video about it?
I can’t afford to buy it but I do think it’s really cool and interesting. Not sure how I feel about making videos about it without owning one. I’d it’s not a topic that requires a device to test stuff I might consider doing vids on it
I would say a lot of PC Br users will buy the PSVR2 because the index is old and who knows when the next one will come out and these vr gamers are hungry for new tech. And the advantage of the psvr2 over all these other headsets are the eye tracking and fobiated rendering.
Well, you can now inject VR into almost all UE 4/5 games, so you can play Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue or tekken 8 sitting right in front of your characters. Another thing is the 'how many people have a PC able to run VR games', you can run VR games on GTX10xx series just fine, so that's kind of a myth. Also wired doesn't mean 'bad', the loss on quality on wireless PCVR compared to the wired one is really noticeable.
True, required specs are not that high, but a lot of people might just have laptops and upgrading might require outright replacement or switching to a tower PC. Also yes, UEVR is incredible
Not a Resident Evil fan? The cord does come out from the headset. We have no evidence that "it will be a bit more of a pain using it on your PC"--that's something we have to wait to see. 7 things actually that the PSVR2 has that Quest 3 doesn't--it can also play much better games on PS5, has much better haptic feedback in the controllers, adaptive triggers, headset rumble, OLED, better comfort out of the box, and on top of all that, has eye-tracking. And compatibility with PS6 when it comes out. Quest 3 vs PSVR2 is not a clear-cut choice.
You’re right about no evidence about convenience on pc. What I meant is that wireless is not an option making it less convenient than Quest 3 which can work wireless for PC (at least that’s what I’ve heard)
@@NihongoGamer Ah gotcha. Though wireless has trade-offs, your point is fair. I appreciate the response!
Also bought this primarily for GT7, the dream is to to use it on SteamVR with my Flight Sim, and other sim racing titles
One can hope
There’s only a handful of decent higher spec’d complete games on PCVR and then a bunch of mostly unstable modded games as there’s never been a large enough userbase of PCVR players consistently buying higher spec’d games to support a healthy AAA game game library.
It’s nice to be able to play Alyx for people that haven’t played it already, but there’s no revolution it’s more of a stop gap to hold PS5 VR players over Playstation’s next wave of PSVR2 games on PS5.
Honestly, I think this is more for developers to be able to incorporate and test the eye tracking and foveated rendering early in the process so certification for PS5 isn’t as difficult and a lot more VR games can get published on PS5 much more quickly.
TBH Games just flat out play beter and feel way more immersive on PSVR2. Adding PC games is a dream come true 👍
Nihongo you’re the one that helped me to start with a fightstick and I love it! I wanted to ask you about 2XKO, any game to practice till release? (Specially with similar inputs for muscle memory with fightstick) greetings and thxxx in advance
Any game with simple inputs is a good start. Sf6, gbvs etc. also tag team games might be smart to try. Stuff like the marvel vs capcom series or power rangers BFTG etc.
@@NihongoGamer i’ll try grandblue, thank you for your time(:
I use this vr and had a lot fun time with it.
You failed to mention one of the best parts of the headset that in my opinion makes it better than any gaming headset out there and that’s the adaptive triggers, the headset vibration and the controller vibration(I know every controller has vibration but Sonys dual sense technology is better). Every time I use something other then my PSVR 2 it always feels like a cheaper shallower experience like when I shoot a gun and it doesn’t have resistance in the trigger or when I shoot a strong kickback shotgun and the headset doesn’t vibrate or when I’m falling out of the sky slowing picking up speed and the headset and controllers slowly vibrate more and more simulating my acceleration or the trigger having no resistance because my clip ran out of ammo etc etc I can go on and on but so many times on my quest 3 I had a big moment happen where I should’ve been wowed but instantly disappointed instead like when that big monster in Asgard Wrath 2 shook the earth as it walked over me I couldn’t help but sigh because of the controllers having a static vibration and that’s all. The first time I had a tall neck walk over me in Horizon Call of the Mountain on PSVR 2 was incredible gave me a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long time in vr because of all the haptic feedback immersing me. But anyway sorry for going on a little rant about how amazing psvr 2 is but yes it is a huge deal because of that stuff and also a potential I don’t think you even mentioned is with the eye tracking if it does work on PC then now people with low powered PC’s that might not even of been able to play vr on it will be able to probably run all the games at medium to high graphic/performance settings because of Dynamic Foveated Rendering!!! So yeah if all those things are supported this will be the best headset to have on console and PC hahaha!!!
I completely forgot about adaptive triggers! Thanks!
I don't own a ps5,
But I'm considering buying this for PC VR now.
Since it's such a good VR headset
and it's a cool bonus I can use it when the ps5 pro releases
PSVR 2 is 500USD and statement about PS5 life cycle just was saying it is not in the early stages anymore and that eventually it will be getting to end of life, in the future...
I will forsure get it if it turns out well. I was having a hard time choosing this or quest 3 as I have a ps5 but mostly game on pc. I really want to play a few ps5 exclusives but that was it, now I can get this and have the best of both.
Very happy Sony is taking the leap and adding PC support for PSVR2. Been holding out for a mid range VR that isnt Meta
I have a psvr2 and a Reverb G2, the Reverb G2 is sharper and has less of the screen door effect than the Psvr2, but the PSVR2 has HDR, much better controllers, eye tracking, and pass though cameras. I'd love the Psvr2 to also work on PC, HP Reverb is mixed reality, MS has announced in future windows its going to not support it, so PSVR2 not being mixed reality is a plus. Also, if games openly support it on PC, then they may decide to port to PS5. Smart move on Sonys part.
Hoping for the FOVeated rendering to work on PC and really squeeze as much as possible from gpus
if Flight Simulator and Elite Dangerous will be compatible, I will be in
Think I'd honestly rather get this than the Quest 3. I have next to no interest in a headset like the Vision Pro to have virtual displays. To me those will always be displays that are lower quality than a real display and in that one's case you need to stream your console or PC to it adding streaming compression. I'd rather just use a real display and use VR when I want VR. And right now the PSVR2 does have the best specs of any real VR headsets other than the Beyond which is way out of my price bracket.
Buying a VR headset just for one game sounds crazy at first glance, but in fact a lot of people people do the same.
Some people buy a headset just to play Beat Saber.
I bought Valve Index and several Vive trackers just for VRChat. And I was surprised that actually I don't want to play Valve: Alyx or Boneworks (I bought those games, tried once and that's it).
Anyway I think PS VR 2 is coming to PC is good news, iVRy would not be a thing, if people had no interest for this.
I bought a Quest 2 just for RE4 VR when it launched. Played on my Quest maybe 10 times since then and Meta screwed the encoding on my Quest 2 when connected to PC through any method FOR 6 MONTHS (one update broke it, and it took 6 months for them to fix), but it was worth it.
I own psvr2 only for gran turismo 7. It's worth every penny.
As one who has the PSVR2, the lack of titles is a problem. So far, I have a whopping total of three, and one came with the headset. The PSVR1 had a large library of good titles (too bad Sony decided not to make them useable) and the VR2 may be the Vita VR headset, so I am glad Sony is giving us an option.
There are loads of good titles for psvr2 right now. My problem is finding time to play them all.
What are you talking about? I can't even keep up.
glad you are finding titles you enjoy, I have not.
I have a quest 3, but i really wanna play RE8 and 4 remake in vr. And i just got a race sim for GT7, the way i see it. If they make they haptic triggers work on pc, i just see it as an upgrade to standalone vr. Keep the quest 3 for MR and AR and watching movies etc and psvr2 for legit gaming.
Yeah I’m really hoping for the adaptive triggers to work on pc.
I don't think the PSVR2 has enough value vs Quest 3. I say that as someone who will never buy a Meta headset.
I used my Pico 4 for PC SIM Racing and other games, still using my meta 2, awesome two headsets that cost me
A little over the cost of a PSVR 2, And still have fun with them.
I’ve heard great things about both!
Am happy with both, and like you said, And many other channels an Gamers, its right now a costly paper weight, until, they have A better range of software, for the consumer's or give up being Part of the VR Market. @@NihongoGamer
This is legendary I was looking for a vr headset for pc I'm willing to spend thousands, but not a single vr headset has oled and hdr, so this shits on everything even stuff that costs 3000+, which is crazy.
Good point!
I'd only get this as long as it can be calibrated to account for motion sickness, and if the price was better than most options. VR has those two big hurdles standing between it and my money.
synapse and resident evil 8 vr are why I bought the psvr2. (I also own a quest 3 and oculus rift). I have not tried gran tourismo 7 yet
I tried the first PSVR in a store once, with a racing game, which… I’m not sure, but it might have been Project Cars 2. - Anyway, the resolution was so poor that I couldn’t see the down the track far enough and I needed to slow down every turn, like brake extra early, to see which way I had to go.
It was ridiculous and I was extremely underwhelmed. It was just like looking at a low-res screen inside of a box…
I’m sure it has improved massively over time, but if that was considered usable by people, damn my standards must be high.
I would prefer one of those high-end Pixma (or whatever) ones, with super wide FOVs and high resolutions. But then you’re gonna be paying the price of a high-end monitor.
In any case, I do think it’s a good thing they’re opening this up, because plenty of people will consider getting this for PC, if the price is right… and that might be a problem.
I’m the opposite. Never tried the original psvr but psvr2 and gt7 is plenty high res enough to see down the track I think
Finally, Can we use beat saber on psvr2 to get mixed reality like meta quest,, ??
Too late now with the Quest 3 having better pancake lenses. If Sony launched the PSVR2 for PC and PS5 it might have sold better
I guarantee you will not be able to plug your PSVR headset into a PC. The VR was designed to get people to buy a PS5.
The PC connectivity will work like the Quest. You will stream games from your desktop to a PS5 over your network.
This has pros and cons. For me, my PC is in a small room, so VR gaming there is not possible, and playing PCVR games in my huge living room is a bonus, and all my machines are hardwired so latency will be minimum.
MR & AR are overhyped, and your cool kids explanation is funny. VR for mobile games and applications is different than AAA gaming. Apples & oranges!
3:42 you're welcome.
Thank you Ronald.
Oled, brightness and hdr is a big deal too
This a pleasant surprise. I am actually an example of someone that would buy this any day rather than a meta quest, I'm assuming with this you don't have to make any accounts it's just pure hardware when connecting to the PC, I prefer simple to the point hardware, I really really don't want to be forced to connect a facebook account to meta...... Wtf... Also foveated rendering sounds important from all that I saw about it.
Yeah we will have to wait and see if Sony requires any account linking (hopefully not). Apparently meta quest only needs a meta account and doesn’t require facebook account linking anymore though
Since psvr 2 will be capable to hook up to pc and pc has some of the best looking games wont that eliminate the mura in certain games. Not every game has mura and looks amazing on psvr2. Also playing vr games with the already existing pcvr headset owners, wont that increase player base, more multi players join a vr game thats not selling as well could get more play out of it, If more players join or am i missing something. Im just saying shouldnt pcvr players be excited about that?🤔
Pcvr players will be very excited I’m sure! One question is, will this boost sales of psvr2 enough that Sony continues to spend money supporting development of new ps5 vr games?
Unless they loose the cable, this is still a no-go.
There is no going back after you played cable free with a quest.
Wireless would be nice but yeah, not likely.
Wireless pc vr is amazing native games look like N64. I will take a super hi res eye tracking with a wire over native quest graphics.
I went back because the games available on PS5 are better than standalone and the PSVR2's cable is light enough that it's acceptable. If you can invest a little more money, pulley systems work pretty well. Not wireless, but almost like being wireless with the benefit of better quality visuals and latency, without thinking about battery life.
I wonder if they plan to make the PSVR2 more expensive to compensate, and for how much.
I somehow doubt that strategy would work unless they actually update the hardware in some way
It's sad cuz I love my psvr2😢 speculy nms
Wait, why’s it sad? Isn’t pc support a good thing?
Never cared for vr, games are frankly not that great to me
Having a headset on my head is just not worth it for me...
I love vr but i still find I can’t be bothered to put the headset on and close myself off from the outside world
@@NihongoGamer I get it, I'm the same way. I tried some ar glasses they look like sunglasses, much lighter,but frankly, watching a movie and closing myself to the world is just not the same.
I dont own a computer just a ps5 (psvr2) will I be able to access PC games through console? If not that's disappointing.
... No, the PS5 can't play PC games, the psvr2 will connect to pc
Imo as someone who knows a lot of semi-casual gamers, I think a lot of them would consider this over Quest headsets for one big reason
A lot of people don't want to buy products from FaceBook. No matter how much rebranding they do, they have little to no consumer trust or popularity. At least in my experience.
Still there are other headsets that people could choose over a PSVR2 for their PC for not a lot more, or potentially even for less...
Still, I think this will help sales somewhat. I had personally considered picking up a PSVR2 before, but couldn't justify it due to the lack of games. However, once it has PC compatibility it does suddenly seem like a good option, bc it'll work on my PC and my PS5, so it sort of feels like there's a small advantage in buying this headset as a result.
Though obviously this only really incentivizes people who own a good PC and a PS5 lol
Tbh I think Sony should do a price drop the day they add PC compatibility. If they can bring it closer to the Quest 3, i think people would at least consider it for the eye tracking, and phenomenal haptic feedback (rumble) in the controllers.
All in all, I think this will certainly give them a slight sales boost with no price cut. But if they want units to start moving quick, a price cut is probabaly the best option for them
"However, once it has PC compatibility it does suddenly seem like a good option, bc it'll work on my PC and my PS5, so it sort of feels like there's a small advantage in buying this headset as a result." With how few VR games are actually worth playing on any platform, it's not a small advantage imo--it's a pretty big one, depending on your taste for games.
Bought my psvr2 on ebay. $300
No one knows what it means. Have to wait to find out.
True. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm for it and see what people in the comments are hoping for the update
No Horizon on psvr 2? 😂
Too late? It just hit its one-year anniversary and has a ton of great games with many more on the way. All this "doom-speak" about PSVR2 is so tired.
i also bought ps5 n a t248 just for gt7, then bought PSVR2 when it released, also thought i would only do gt7, i end up playing more pavlov thrn gt7 😂😂😂
Come back to gt7~~~
@@NihongoGamer 😂 i eventually will, just that i had more fun wth pavlov ttt than being crashed off the race track in almost every race 😂
Does this mean gt7 and resident evil will come to pc?
At this point there’s so little info it could mean anything lol
First. Want one but a little too expensive.
quest 3
Lol I did 😂 spends most it’s time in the cupboard.
I don’t play mine unless I have time for GT7. Wish I could play it more!
Playstation has realized the Playstation player base doesn't have more money they can extract
that's why they are here
Haha! Well, if I benefit from this a bit, I’m all for it.
PS VR2 is Sony's Virtual Boy. Complete loss leader and waste of money. Not worth the cost.
Why would you be bothered about a wire when your headphones are wired anyway?… Automatically moving into, why are you using inferior wireless headphones?…
People, after all these years, still care more about every little pixel but don’t know how to deal with audio.
Perfect for me was waiting for pc support 😎👍 got my psvr2 for cheap as well 🤣 £300 for mine 👌 n yes you can replace the cable it's a hdmi lead 😂
Wait, the cable is just hdmi to usb c? That doesn’t seem right.
