How To Connect PlayStation VR2 to PC
Before connecting your brand-new adapter, it should be noted that the PlayStation VR2 was specifically made for PlayStation 5 consoles. This means features such as HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback will not be available when playing on a PC as it is a PlayStation 5 VR headset. Although you lose these beloved features, 4k visuals, 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, see-through view, foveated rendering, and 3D audio will continue to be supported on PC. Players must set up their PlayStation VR2 on their PC to customize their settings and play area. Below are the steps for connecting your PlayStation VR2 to your PC.
- Connect the PlayStation VR2 to your PC using the PlayStation VR2 PC adapter and the DisplayPort 1.4 cable.
- Download the PlayStation VR2 App.
- Download the SteamVR App from Steam.
After this setup, the PlayStation VR2 will be ready to use on your PC. However, performance may vary depending on your PC’s setup. This includes the quality of the DisplayPort 1.4 cable and your VR game requirements. Players would benefit from double-checking the requirements needed for their selected Steam VR game to enjoy it to its full potential.
