    Also, we’re pleased to share that we are currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PS VR2 titles available through PS5. We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.

    psvr2 on my pc would be awesome, I’ve read the screen and tech is better than what’s being offered on the index

    Those who can afford it might want to buy something open source instead: https://shop.simulavr.com/

    Not affiliated with the product. Its linux based and not a walled garden afaik. In 5 yrs when sony drops support for the headset, you can still use this one.

        Feel free to invent one I guess. I think we‘re basically in the same ballpark with that as we are with phones. Nicht qualifications needed and only proprietary players so far. Someone correct me if needed pls.

      That article is from Jan 2023 when Sony responded to a Bloomberg report that they had cut production due to lower than expected launch sales.

      It’s possible they will rebut this article too, but they haven’t so far AFAIK.
