PC support for the PlayStation VR2 headset is finally coming as the Steam app has received an official release date.
The PlayStation VR2 headset is Sony’s second-gen VR option and requires a PlayStation 5 and applicable games in order to use it.
Since its launch in 2023, PlayStation fans have called for Sony to update the headset to support PC VR titles, and their calls were answered in February 2024.
On July 25, 2024, a Steam listing for the PlayStation VR2 app was updated to reveal the release date of August 6, 2024.
Sony revealed that PC support would be coming to the PlayStation VR2 through a blog post, but weren’t entirely clear when the update would actually come until now.
This means that on that date, PlayStation VR2 owners will be able to install the free app and use their $550 headset on all of Steam’s VR titles.
You’ll have to buy an adapter, however, as Sony revealed the $60 accessory back in June that gives you the ability to connect the PlayStation VR2 to your PC through a Displayport 1.4 cable.

Those looking to use their VR2 headset on PCVR titles after the release of the app and adapter will need to have a computer that is at or above the minimum system requirements.
