Sony Announces PlayStation VR 2 Compatibility with PCs

Sony Expands VR Access to PCs

Sony has announced that its PlayStation VR 2 headset, which was previously only compatible with the PlayStation 5 console, will soon be compatible with PCs as well. The company is currently testing this feature and aims to make it available in 2024.

The move to expand access to the PSVR 2 comes as Sony shifts its focus towards future technologies, as indicated by the recent announcement that the PS5 is entering the latter stage of its life cycle. VR and mixed-reality headsets have been gaining popularity, with Apple and Meta's Quest headset making significant strides in the market.

No information has been provided yet regarding compatibility with rival VR platforms such as Valve's Steam store or Meta's Quest 3.

New Titles and Expansion of Gaming Business

In addition to the compatibility update, Sony also announced new PSVR 2 titles, including Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, a time traveling shooter game. This game, along with other new titles, will be available not only on Sony's console but also on the Steam store and Meta's Quest headset.

Sony's expansion of its gaming business goes beyond console hardware. Microsoft has also made recent announcements about selling its games on rival consoles, including the PS5. Sony, on the other hand, has started releasing some of its popular games on PC, such as The Last of Us Part 1 and Marvel's Spider-Man.

Comparison of Gaming Providers

Aside from the VR compatibility and game announcements, it's worth noting the increasing competition among gaming providers. Microsoft's move to sell games on rival consoles showcases the evolving landscape of the gaming industry.

For consumers, this competition is beneficial as it leads to more options and accessibility across platforms. Whether it's Sony's PlayStation, Microsoft's Xbox, or other gaming providers, there are now more choices and opportunities for gamers to enjoy their favorite titles.
