You'd be surprised at just how dumb people are. I had a guy come to me wanting to buy a VR headset yesterday that said no thanks when I told him that no, he in fact can't use PS5 discs with the Meta Quest 2.
Insane that HDR, eye tracking, haptics, etc aren't going to work on PC, this is literally the least they could do and charge you $60 for.
I might finally get a PSVR2… But I'll at least wait until it's confirmed that PC compatibility is good.
So do I need Bluetooth to play this? Never installed a Bluetooth chip into my PC cause I'm cheap and it allready cost and arm and a leg 😭
I doubt the features are disabled as much as games would have to be patched to work with it. I'm happy with my Quest 3. I would have considered PSVR2 if this was possible back when I was looking for a new headset With the promise that some games would use those features.
Nope, though it's a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, which supposedly has USB-C ports that can be used for DP 1.4?
Sony: "So, can you port alyx to ps5 please?"
Gaben: "eh, i dont know... it's a hassle to port..."
Sony: "FINE, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WILL MAKE MY OWN ADAPTER SO PEOPLE PLAY IT WITH OUR VR DEVICE, FUCK YOU"
I mean the most popular PC VR headset, the Quest 3, doesn't have eyes tracking or HDR so I don't see this as a big deal that PSVR2 doesn't use them in PC VR as well.
With the amount of features missing as well as dealing with the downsides of the PSVR2 (made even worse now that you have to deal with a breakout box and another DisplayPort cable), I don't see the point in this unless you have a PSVR2 lying around.
If you're on PC I would just say get a Quest 3 or wait for Valve's VR headset coming (hopefully) soon.

Most interested to see if they start launching first party VR games on Steam with this now.
Obviously this adaptor is awesome (and cheap!) but an awesome by-product could be Sony's VR games launching on PC for owners of all headsets.

How exactly is Sony supposed to support these things, particularly HDR and eye tracking, that aren't supported in SteamVR itself or any of the games?
Sony manufactured 1 million PSVR2 headsets. They've sold just over half of them so far. The primary goal of this adapter is in all likelihood to help sell through the remaining inventory without having to lose money by selling the headsets at deep discounts. Every indication is the product is being sunset and people should set their expectations accordingly.
I mean they don't work now on a regular dual sense unless you plug it in.

VR is so small that a port probably still doesn't make sense.
I really don't think the price is that bad. The official Meta Quest link cable that's basically just a good usb c cable cost $79.
I highly doubt it.
Like another poster said, I feel this is a way to move their remaining stock. I still feel under the impression that the PSVR2 is going to get sunsetted in the next 1-2 years. Sony themselves already aren't really supporting it.
I wonder if this will stoke some partnership to get some of those features supported by Steam VR. Sounds more like a limitation there. It's the same with the DualSense on PC, where adaptive stuff doesn't work unless it's natively supported by the application, which requires workarounds on Steam.
Not true, works great wirelessly these days. Even on Steam Deck. Try Helldivers 2 to test it!
The unofficial third party adapter costs significantly more. I think $200+?
Not defending $60 as I think it's pretty expensive too but could be way worse
It's great for us PS VR users who can't justify another headset to dabble into PC specific VR games/applications. Sure, niche, but honestly a godsend.
well with the PSVR2 officially becoming a PC headset too (for people with the adapter) people thankfully don't have to rely on Sony to make the headset relevant anymore
I think the Quest 2 is still the most popular PC headset at least going by Steam's hardware survey.
Cool they're supporting it on PC at least, but shame a bunch of features aren't.
Eye tracking seemed the biggest thing to me and HDR, and neither of them are supported, which is a big shame.
Also weird/shame they don't support Dualsense fully on PC, as in you can't make/edit profiles on PC.
