PS VR2 is getting a PC adapter, making it compatible with Half-Life Alyx and more: price and release date
Sony has shared the technical specs and more details for bringing its VR headset to PC and, more specifically, Steam.
It took a while, but now it’s official: Sony has announced a PS VR2 adapter for PC, with which you can use the PlayStation headset to enjoy every SteamVR title, among which are huge names such as Half-Life Alyx, Fallout 4 VR, and Phasmophobia.
The PS VR2 adapter for PC is priced at $59.99 and you can buy it through the official PlayStation store starting August 7, in addition to other retail stores that will have limited availability of the device. Its connection to your PC will be straightforward since it is only necessary to connect PS VR2 using the adapter and a DisplayPort 1.4 cable.

Half-Life Alyx, the best VR game ever created
It was crowned as GOTY, received countless perfect reviews, and everyone who tries it is left speechless. In MeriStation it also achieved the maximum mark, with our review highlighting that “It’s the best VR experience yet, yes, but more surprisingly it’s also the best Half-Life experience to date. Our only request is that the sequel takes a little less time to arrive.”
