Sony's PSVR 2 virtual reality headset will get an adaptor for PCs this summer but its best features will remain exclusive to PlayStation
Sony just doing Sony things in the Sony way, I guess.
$5 says it's going to require a PlayStation Network account to use it on the computer
gigantic sony L. was really excited to give vr another shot on my pc, oh well
Yeah, I'm all for a new PCVR headset entering the scene but the actual nice features that separate it from the rest being left out has kinda killed my hype. Still not a terrible headset, but I'm not getting hardware I can't use properly.
it has completely killed my hype. all these additional features are the reason why I wanted it in the first place. I also do not trust sony to turn these features on down the line. it should be launching feature complete, and I struggle to understand why some features are left out and not others... 😵💫
How long until someone hacks a way to get some of those working anyway
Afaik someone already was attempting to reverse engineer a driver for Windows for foveated rendering etc. But that was a bit after the release and am not aware what the current progress is.

Doesn’t seem to have been an update in a while…
I added this item straight to my list of things i will never get ! Thank you Sony for another one.
Exciting for PC gamers, but a bit disappointing that the top features will stay PlayStation-exclusive.
Not really, unless you really don't want to use Meta products (at which point I'd wonder why you would rather patronise Sony of all companies) why would you not get a Quest 3 for the same amount as a psvr+adapter?
The quest 3 is lighter, higher res, can work standalone and doesn't need a wire to work with a computer. It beats the PSVR2 on pretty much any metric you care to name, except that its screens are not oled hdr.
