Earlier this year. Sony announced it was "currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC". Today, it was revealed that a hardware adapter for the PlayStation 5 virtual reality headset has just been certified by a regulatory body.
Specifically, the Korean Radio Research Agency has posted a certification listing (via TechRadar) for what is labeled as a "PlayStationVR2 PC adapter.” That would seem to indicate Sony has made a hardware device that would allow the PSVR 2 to connect to a PC.
If the certification listing is any indication, Sony could officially reveal the PSVR 2 PC adapter in the very near future. Sony did say earlier this year that it wanted to add PC support for the PSVR 2 sometime in 2024.
The Korean certification listing doesn't include any images or any information at all about the PSVR 2 PC adapter. It also does not indicate a possible price for the product either.
Sony launched the PSRV2 in February 2023 as an exclusive accessory for the PS5 console. It had a launch price of $549.99, which was more expensive than the console itself. Since then, there have been credible reports that the headset has not sold well in its first two years. Indeed, a more recent report claimed Sony had actually paused the production of new PSVR 2 units so it could sell off its current inventory.
Releasing a PC adapter could allow Sony to sell more PSVR 2 units, allowing the headset to access the larger library of VR games and apps that are available on the PC platform.
The PSVR 2 currently has a $100 discount on Amazon for $449.99. You can also get the headset bundled with the game Horizon Call of The Mountain for a $100 discount to $499.99.
