I'll be interested to learn more about their PC support. Are they planning on porting some of their games over to PC to allow people to use the headset there? Or are they going to just open it up to allow us to run Steam VR games on it? If it's the latter, then they will lose out on a ton of software sales going this route.

I guess we will know more later in the year.

Petebloodyonion447d ago

They are testing PC support (Steam).

Neonridr447d ago (Edited 447d ago )

we don't know what "PC support" means here. It's still very vague.

My realistic guess is we will actually get an app on the PS5, like Steam Link, that will allow the PC to wirelessly stream games to the PSVR2 via the PS5.

The USB-C requirements of the headset means that you can't just connect it to any old USB-C port on your computer and could potentially require some sort of special USB dongle you'd have to buy in order to make it work. Seems unlikely.

My 6 year old desktop and my 4 year old laptop both have usbc...

Petebloodyonion447d ago

You won't get an app on PS5 because having the Steam apps on PS5 would make the entire Steam library available on PS5 (something that Sony is against).

What you can expect is your PSVR2 will now be discoverable on PC and will be compatible with Steam VR just like Quest.

Now related to USB-C you just need a standard USB3.0 to USB-C cable.

fr0sty447d ago

Gotta love the disagree vote on my comment... "Nuh-uh, your old PC doesn't have USBC!" Hate to break it to you, but it does. My laptop from 2019 has thunderbolt 3/USBC as well. It's common on pretty much all computers these days.

Neonridr446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

@Petebloodyonion - I'm sure there would be a way to restrict what games show up via the app to limit it to only games with VR support or something. I'm not saying it would be the same Steam Link app we see on other devices, it could be customized.

@fr0sty - it has nothing to do with it being a USB-C port. The USB-C port on the PS5 is a Virtualink port (Basically combines DisplayPort + power + USB 3.1 data). It's not just about the transfer speed of the USB-C, it also needs to support the other things. A standard USB-C port on your computer won't necessarily do that.

I’m really struggling on the logic behind the idea they would lose out on a ton of software sales by allowing open psvr2 support on PC. How, where & why??

crazyCoconuts447d ago (Edited 447d ago )

Yeah, that's surprising. Two things come to mind. Optimistically, it means they must have a profit margin on the hardware, so they make a little money there. Pessimistically, they're not making much money on the software side due to a low install base and are trying to eek as much out of this financial failure as possible.

mkis007447d ago

Not if the goal is to port a lot of software. VR really can't thrive in a walled garden.

darthv72447d ago

Very cool they are testing out PC support with this.

fr0sty447d ago

I'm more interested in using it with non-game PC apps, like microdose VR, unreal engine 5, etc.

crazyCoconuts447d ago (Edited 447d ago )

PC support? Wow I was wrong about this one. I didn't expect Sony to go down this route. I guess, like controllers, they're making enough profit on these to just sell it for the hardware vs. it being a "platform".
Anyway, I'm stoked as I have Steam VR games I own and haven't been able to play since I sold my Rift S.

EvertonFC447d ago

Good franchise the zombie army games 😊

Abnor_Mal447d ago

Definitely a good get, which leaves me to wonder why we didn’t get the last Sniper Elite VR game. I was hoping we would get that and the first for PSVR2, also that Medal of Honor VR game from a few years ago.

PlayStation Store: April 2025’s top downloads

It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, and free-to-play games topped the PlayStation Store download charts last month.

April saw a lot of action among the top spots. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Forza Horizon 5 broke into the top three for the U.S. and EU PS5 charts, while Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate dominated the PS VR2 charts across the board.

Xbox reigns supreme at Playstation!

I wonder what was the reaction from Sony´s first party investors to those numbers and what they plan to do next.

VersusDMC9d ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure Sony investors are just as concerned as when Sega started releasing games on the PS2...pretty sure the sentiment is "Another one bites the dust".

pwnmaster30009d ago (Edited 9d ago )

This dude is having a full melt down since the whole gears announcement lmao.
You think tears rolled down his eyes when he writes this lol

I’m honestly impress how Xbox fanboys can always spin shit. I guess they had alot of practice lol

Obscure_Observer9d ago

"Yeah I'm pretty sure Sony investors are just as concerned as when Sega started releasing games on the PS2...pretty sure the sentiment is "Another one bites the dust"."

With their new games legging behind Xbox games in their own territory? Playstation gamers turned into "Xbox gamers" while Satya Nadella beats his chest on how they now have 500 Million MAU?

No, I don´t think so.

No dude, I don´t think they´re happy at all!

VersusDMC9d ago

"With their new games legging behind Xbox games in their own territory?"

Forza got outsold by minecraft and Indiana jones got outsold by DMCV on the list so those numbers are weak.

Oblivion is number 1 for the month but i doubt it even had a better launch on PS5 than astro bot.

There is no lagging behind xbox games until they start selling 3 to 5 million on PS5 like ghost, spider man, GOW, etc...

Traecy9d ago

LOL! Most of those games are 3rd party games that were already on PS consoles except Forza.

pwnmaster30009d ago

I know expedition 33 is up there but it honestly deserves to be #1 on all platform. Game is fantastic

DivineHand1259d ago

The top 3 games are Microsoft published titles. Looks like they had a good month. I don't follow Minecraft but how can that game be selling so well for over a decade?

badz1499d ago

some games just keep selling and some other games keep getting lots of MAU and some others keep making money. it's just how things are in gaming.

badz1499d ago

I need to check out Wanderer for PSVR2. how come there's almost no marketing for this game?

Knushwood Butt8d ago

Days Gone did pretty well considering it only came out on the 25th or 26th of April.
