A year after its release, the future of PlayStation VR2 looks bleak as a lack of first-party exclusives and apparent disinterest from Sony make it hard for the headset to thrive.
I’d imagine it’ll work through something like Steam Link like the Quest line of headsets do. Which is still nice, but that means for me trying to invest in networking gear that may or may not work. 😩
(and I’ve tried powerline, I’ve gone through three of those things, they all have a habit of disconnecting unless I ping my router. Someone on Twitter suggested that I rewire my entire house as if I can afford to do that. 😐)
Unlike the PSVR1, there is no special processing box required to make it work, it’s just power, USB and a displayport signal, carried by a single standard USB C connector.
And even the PSVR1 got figured out by hackers to the point that the hardware can now be used directly, no PS4 required.
I don’t imagine that any PSVR2 PC compatibility would require using the HMD through the ps5, when you could just plug it directly into the PC.
