Sony’s discounted PlayStation VR 2 headset is still available, despite the massive £180 saving. Argos customers have been rushing to purchase the PS5 compatible device, which is currently priced at just £349.99. Indeed, stock is flitting between available and sold out, which is unsurprising given the size of the discount. If you want to purchase the PSVR 2 at the reduced price and it’s not currently available at Argos, we’ve popped an additional Currys link below, which means you should be able to secure a headset before the price goes back to £529.99. There’s certainly never been a better time to pick up a PSVR 2 headset, especially with Sony recently announcing plans to make the PlayStation VR 2 compatible with virtual reality games on PC.
All you’ll need is the upcoming PlayStation VR2 PC adaptor, which will be available for £49.99 this August.
The PlayStation VR2 PC adapter will make it possible to play Steam VR titles using your PlayStation VR headset.
This includes the superb Half-Life: Alyx, as well as blockbusters like Fallout 4 VR, War Thunder and the hugely entertaining Bonelab.
According to Sony, PSVR 2 owners will also need to purchase a separate “commercially available DisplayPort cable”, specifically one that’s compatible with DisplayPort 1.4.
Then there’s the fact that you’ll need a PC capable of running virtual reality games via Steam.
Once you do have all the items at your disposal, setting up is as simple as connecting your PlayStation VR2 to your PC using the PS VR2 PC adapter and the DisplayPort 1.4 cable.
You’ll then be required to download the PlayStation VR2 App and the SteamVR App, which will enable you to set up your PlayStation VR device on your PC. This includes setting up your play area and purchasing games.
As Sony points out, performance may vary depending on your set-up and individual game requirements, so it’s worth thoroughly researching before making a purchase.
It’s also worth noting that some PSVR 2 exclusive features won’t work with Steam VR games, such as headset feedback, eye tracking and adaptive triggers.
