  That’s a pretty unexpected surprise. If it provides Linux-compatible usage, I might get one afterall.

    Probably. Sony provided upstream Linux with drivers for their controllers, and have been for a while now.

    Yeah, it would really expand what you can play. I have assetto corsa on PlayStation but never play it because it doesn’t support VR

    Exactly the same for me. There’s a great library of PCVR games that doesn’t exist in PS5 right now, and several are racing games that I want to play again. I’m thrilled to hear there’s PC support coming considering this is one of the best headsets you can buy right now.

  Big move it’s it’s allowable to be used for any game dev that wants to make the vr set compatible with their game. Crap move if Sony charges to allow devs for compatibility or it’s only compatible with Sony owned games.

  That’s great news. I’d love to finally be able to play Half-Life Alyx.

  They want to bring more PS5 games to PC. I’m guessing PSVR2 games are not exempt.

  It’ll probably require additional hardware though. At least some kind of adapter.

      The whole point of PC support is to use this without having a PS5. You can’t connect it to a PC without some additional hardware.

  The eye tracking is very interesting. Would this support OpenVR?

  Could be a nice replacement for my elderly Oculus Rift.

  Not going to buy one just for PS5 because there aren’t enough games to make that worthwhile.

  Got to be quick to start though. Don’t make me jump through hoops to connect it every time… Takes my wife ages to start a Steam game from the Quest.
