Sony announces new games for PS VR2 and, almost in passing, news awaited by all fans
Sony posted an update on its blog yesterday regarding new games coming to PlayStation VR2but in a press release of more than 6,000 characters the real news is hidden in a few lines: the company is working to bring PS VR2 on PC (by the way, if you are looking for a VR headset, take a look at our list of the best on the market: you will find offers for all budgets, and certainly also the offer that’s right for you).
Curious stylistic choice on the part of Gillen McAllistercontent communications manager at Sony Interactive, who if he doesn’t recreate a moment “One more thing“, we’re close given the wait by PS VR2 users for a announcement such.
Unlike Valve Index And Meta Quest 3In fact, Sony’s excellent headset is not capable of playing VR titles on PC. If connected to the computer, PlayStation VR2 it actually is recognized from Windows, even without the need for additional drivers, but you will not be able to use it to play games and only use it as external screen.
SteamVR, in fact, does not recognize it.
Asked about it by The Verge a year ago, the company had stated in a manner quite clear That “PSVR2 is created for use with the PS5 console“, which seemed to end all hope.
Also the modding, which had brought the unofficial support of PSVR for PC, it seemed stuck, but now everything changes.
We’re happy to share that we’re currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety beyond the PS VR2 titles available via PS5.
He declares McAllister in the announcement post for new games coming to PlayStation VR2also defining an extremely promising release time window:
We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for further updates.
So Sony is working to bring PS VR2 on PCand perhaps we could also analyze the words of the Sony manager to better define that “access additional games on PC“, which could limit support to only some games, but at the moment the statement ends here, and despite the echo it caused on the Web, no further explanations have arrived.
Nonetheless, we’re sure we’ll know more soon. Oh, one more thing. Over the next few months they will arrive on PS VR2 new games: The Wizards – Dark Times: Brotherhood and the free update to Arizona Sunshine 2 are available today, Little Cities: Bigger! will be available on March 12th, Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate will be released on June 27th, while Zombie Army VR And Soul Covenant they will be available at some unspecified time in 2024.
