Sony<\/ins><\/a> promised earlier this year that it would free the PlayStation VR2<\/ins><\/a> from the shackles of the PS5 by letting folks use it with their PC<\/ins><\/a>. We\u2019re starting to get a fuller picture of what that might look like, as the company appears to be working on a PC adapter for the headset.<\/p>\n A Korean filing<\/ins><\/a> recently unearthed<\/ins><\/a> by VR and mixed-reality enthusiast Brad Lynch (as noted by The Verge<\/ins><\/em><\/a>) indicates that the company has created such a peripheral. There are no details on how the adapter works, what it looks like or how much it will cost, but it lends credence to previous evidence<\/a> that the headset would have a wired PC connection.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear what kind of connectivity Sony is looking at here. Unlike its convoluted predecessor<\/ins><\/a>, PS VR2 hooks up to the PS5 with a single USB-C cable. Meta Quest headsets, meanwhile, use a USB 3 connection for PC gaming<\/ins><\/a>. Perhaps Sony is looking at tapping into DisplayPort or HDMI ports to improve image fidelity.<\/p>\n The company will be hoping that PC support will help drive sales of its headset, which hasn\u2019t exactly set the world alight<\/ins><\/a>. The PS VR2 hardware is actually pretty great<\/ins><\/a>, but it’s been held back by several factors, including a limited library of games via PS5. Users will have a far larger selection of VR games to dive into on PC.<\/p>\n As it happens, the PS VR2 is currently $100 off as part of Sony\u2019s Days of Play sale<\/a>. The discount applies to both the standalone headset<\/a> (down from $550 to $450<\/a>) and the Horizon: Call of the Mountain<\/em> bundle, which has dropped to $500<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
