Feature differences with PS VR2 on PS5

PS VR2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5 – so you'll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC. However, other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PS VR2 are supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D Audio in supported games.

When PlayStation VR2 launched last year, we were thrilled to introduce PS5 players to a new generation of VR games with innovative gameplay and immersive sensory features. Inspired by our passion to bring gamers even more content options, we've been working to enable access to additional games on PC, complementing the diverse PS VR2 games lineup available on PS5. Today, we're happy to share that we'll be rolling out this support on August 7.

Players will have access to buy and play Steam's expansive library of thousands of VR games, including fan favorites like Half-Life: Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, and War Thunder.

While the most immersive way to experience PS VR2 gaming remains on PS5, we hope players will enjoy the ability to play an expanded lineup of VR games on PC using the same headset. You can check out Steam's huge library of multiplayer open worlds, survival horror and stealth action games, sports sims, puzzlers, and free-to-play fan favorites on the Steam Store.

How comfortable are these compared to Quest 1? Looking to upgrade my headset for racing sims and want something more comfortable. Also, how is it with glasses?

Somewhat reasonable price I guess? Kinda wish I hadn't sold my PSVR2 now.

Also lol at the statement piece with that picture "You're never getting Alyx on PS5!"

Interesting tidbit there though, you need Steam for this.

Woah, didn't expect them to advertise with HL:A. Cheaper than I was expecting too. I hope it works with my gaming laptop.
Shoot, my laptop doesn't have a display port. Are there any adapter workarounds? I have a dock with a display port, wonder if that would work.

Pay for dongle and no HDR lol. Really no reason to buy this unless you already have one for sure. Pancake lens of the quest 3 really wins here. I have both and hoped to try it out but very poor option now.

No Haptic Feedback is baffling, surely it's compatible in some way, right? Such a weird restriction

I guess not many games would use these features on PC anyway but this still sucks

So… what's the point with all the disabled features? Foveated rendering with eye tracking (and eye tracking in general) and HDR are exactly the reason you'd prefer this headset over the Quest.

Because you will be able to play Alyx on pc using psvr2, that's just a fact
But at this point I don't think Valve is willing to port it on playstation.

So all of the PC VR games are going to work out-of-the-box with this adaptor?

i wonder if these features are not available because it would need to be supported by the developers of each game specifically or if the feature is just not there on PC period.
But I'm there day 1

I'll take one! Bummed that some features won't work (mainly HDR) but I guess there are valid technical restrictions in place. And they knew what they were doing with the Alyx image LOL, couldn't be clearer about Valve not wanting to port the game.

Although .... Will this even work on a laptop?

Seriously considering buying one right now, as it hits the sweet spot of the amount of games I am looking to play and what systems are available. Hopefully some of the features cut out are enabled later on.

lol none of the marquee features work on pc. Hopefully some kind of mod unlocks those features I guess. Otherwise, what's the point of getting this for pc if you havent already bought one?

Still, its better than nothing to at least offer the compatibility/adapter. Anyone with a vr2 should probably buy the adapter so they dont become scarce or scalped.
