The Rec Room team have confirmed in a recent Reddit AMA that the social gaming app won't be coming to PSVR 2 as it's not economically viable.
Push Square writes: "A dedicated PSVR2 app has been published to PC platform Steam ahead of expanded compatibility for the VR headset going live on 7th August 2024. The application will be available the day before, and it guides you through the setup of the device for use on PC as well as acting as the place to update the headset and its Sense controllers when patches become available."

It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, PS VR, and free-to-play games topped the download charts last month.
The launch of the huge new expansion Shadow of the Erdtree catapulted Elden Ring back up the PS5 charts across US and Europe, while the PS VR2 list saw Beat Saber rocking back to the top of the chart in the US and European regions.
Who is buying GTA for it to be number 1 again. Over a game of the year game whose DLC just released 😂😂
People who want to shoot guns and drive cars. People who want to play games with groups of their friends. 🤷🏻♂️
That'd be relevant if it hadn't been out for 11 years sold 200 million and given away for 'free' on both Xb and PS

"it’s a non-trivial port, and we haven’t found a way to make it make economic sense"
Now, I'm not gonna say PSVR2 is selling well because I would imagine it's not.
But there are a good number of third party games coming to it all the time, so this might be as much a statement related to the revenue per user in Rec Room as it is a comment on low PSVR2 sales - dunno.
One of the most popular VR games would not be economically viable coming to PSVR2...yikes, sales must be lower than expected, especially given Sony isn't revealing any sales info about the accessory.
If Sony aren’t going to support it then why should anyone else. How longs it been released now and it doesn’t even do the basic level functions that literally every single vr machine on the market does!
My most regretted gaming purchase I’ve made.
** but remember everybody, it sold so well they couldn’t stock it quick enough to fulfill orders. Never believe these companies and their sales figures. They are always manipulated and manufactured.
