Climax Studios and Housemarque have released a Returnal PC patch that aims to reduce the stuttering encountered in the game.
An official PlayStation VR2 adapter for PC made by Sony is being certified. It won't be long before the VR headset is officially compatible.
one step closer to unlocking the headsets full power.
I'm extremely underwhelmed with how Sony has treated it's psvr2 customers seriously Nintendo treated it's Wii U owners of which the sales were probably equal in the headsets 2bd year v the consoles far better.
This is the least they could do
I agree. I'm a day 1 consumer too. 😢 For my day 1 Vita. I do not like when Sony does that crap.
I still don't have PSVR2, but this was always my concern. I almost pulled the trigger for RE4, but I waited it out to see what changed. As it happens, not much.
I love my Vita. Great piece of hardware. It didn't shine the way we know it could have, but it'll still got amazing titles.
PC support is very much a step in the right direction. Even if some PC only titles can make use of the headset, it does increase PSVR adoption: it's a great piece of hardware and it's also the best in its price bracket, so I see a way forward for uptake. Who knows? Maybe that'll allow VR devs to feel more comfortable releasing on PS5.

Agreed, but to your point, those dollars went a lot further back then than they do now. This should have been a consideration from the beginning.
Imagine buying a monitor or tv that could only work with one device. That's basically what this equates to, so they left a LOT of money on the table by not making it PC compatible from the getgo. But to Sony's credit, even they were unaware of how popular their games would be once released on PC.
No credit to Sony on this one I’m afraid, first party and generally Sony support for psvr2 really hasn’t been great
I doubt there will be foveated rendering implemented on PC. PSVR2 is already a better experience than PCVR. PS5 Pro will unlock the full power.
Probably not but not all psvr2 games use fov many are just straight ports from quest systems which barely take advantage the headsets capabilities.
Still I'd rather have more options and games to play on this than a tiny LIbrary
so now Sony is going to sell me an adapter I have to buy so I can use the headset on my PC? Gee, how generous of you :P
While it's great that I will be able to use this headset instead of my Index or Q3 for PC only VR titles, it's still a sad realization that Sony is sorta waiving the white flag here. Here's hoping they at least make some of their PSVR2 exclusive content available on PC as well now.
I don't see it as waving the white flag. PSVR the first one even though modders did get it working on pc it was a awful experience.
PSVR2 one of the best VR headsets available. Requires just one usb c cable. Even though I truly believe exclusives are what sell consoles. When it comes to VR it's very nich among gamers. I'm ecstatic that soon I can imo use the best VR headset on both ps5 and pc. No need for a pc vr headset. I have said it since PSVR2 was announced that I hope they make it pc compatible. With it being a very expensive headset and pc vr being more popular it just makes sense for Sony to do this.
as opposed to a Quest 3 that requires no cables, or a single cable if you want to pair it with your PC right? ;)
While the tech is better in the PSVR2 for the most part (I own an Index, Q3 and PSVR2), I'm still let down by certain things. Headset rumble is a novelty. Eye tracking has only been used well on a couple of titles.
to each their own I guess, but to me this doesn't give me confidence that Sony is fully investing in their own hardware, more like they are stepping back to allow others to fill in the gaps.
@Neonridr not owned a quest 3. Did own a quest 1 and 2 both where fairly good. Have used a quest 3 for a limited time and thought it was fine. But comfort wise not as nice as psvr2.
Tried using quest 2 via wireless streaming to my pc and it was so bad I much rather using a single cable and have a solid connection than streaming the game from pc to headset.
Replies(2)It's most likely just going to be a usb c to usb 3 adapter. Even for modern era a lot of new cases and motherboards don't have a usb c ports.
The budget but still fairly fairly high end pc I recently helped my friend build. He went with a b550 motherboard. Didn't have a usb c port or a on board socket to connect a pc case with a front panel usb c. Had to get a cheap pcie usb c.
They developed the headset/attached usb c cable so that it wasn’t possible to run through any port other than a designated ps5 port. The adapter allows all the data to be passed correctly to a none designated ps5 port.

It's a sneaker, it's a gaming PC, it's the Cooler Master Sneaker X and right now it's discounted on Amazon - check it out.
Ninja Theory has recently launched Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, the latest installment in a highly anticipated story, now accessible on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Good, the game in the current state is very annoying to play.
Does the game have a shader pre compiler? I... don't understand why this isn't a requirement for PC releases. I've just about given up on PC gaming for console ports.
It's always nice when games run worse on your PC with a video card 3x the price of a console.
