The PlayStation VR 2 PC Adapter Is Available Now, But It's Selling Out Fast
This $60 adapter lets you connect your PSVR 2 headset to PC--though it's currently sold out at major retailers
You'll need a bit more than the $60 adapter to connect your PSVR 2 to PC. A DisplayPort 1.4 cable and a Steam account are required. If you need a cable, you can pick up a braided 10-foot JSAUX DisplayPort cable for only $12.
You'll also need a rig that hits the following minimum specifications:
- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit/Windows 11 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (Zen 2 or later architecture is required)
- RAM/memory: 8 GB or more
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or later (Turing or later architecture is required) -NVIDIA RTX series-AMD Radeon RX 5500XT or later/AMD Radeon RX 6500XT or later
- DisplayPort: DisplayPort 1.4 (must have a standard DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output port)
- USB: Direct connection only
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.0 or later

Getting the headset working with your PC requires looks fairly simple, as you'll just need to connect the headset to your PC using the PSVR 2 PC Adapter, then download the PSVR 2 and SteamVR apps.
You'll miss out on some functionality (such as eye tracking and adaptive triggers), but 4K visuals, 3D audio, and plenty of other features are still supported on PC. Check out the trailer above for a closer look at PlayStation VR 2 features on PC.
The PSVR 2 had been one of the priciest consumer VR headsets when the PlayStation 5 was required. As a PC VR headset, though, the headset is on the budget side of the spectrum compared to the Valve Index and HTC Vive. The Valve Index with controllers starts at $749 (headset alone is $499), while the HTC Vive Pro 2 (headset only) starts at $799. Even with a $200 discount at Amazon, the HTC Vive XR Elite still costs $899.
Of course, you still need a gaming PC with the proper specs, so the PSVR 2 still isn't as budget-friendly or streamlined as the most popular virtual reality headset on the market, the Meta Quest 3. A standalone VR headset, the Meta Quest 3 comes with a pair of controllers and retails for $500.
That said, the massive new library of SteamVR games makes Sony's headset a far more versatile option in the VR space. If the release of the PSVR 2 PC Adapter intrigues you, you'll find the PSVR 2 headset for a discounted price. Amazon has the PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle on sale for $520 (was $600) and the base package for $529 (was $550). These deals pale in comparison to the recent $200 discounts, but they are better than paying full price.
