PlayStation VR2 Users Might Not Need the Adapter to Play Games on PC After All – IGN

Sony has introduced PC VR support for the PSVR2, allowing users to play popular PC VR titles like Half-Life: Alyx. To use this feature, a PC adapter is required, but some users have found a workaround by connecting the headset's USB-C cable directly to compatible graphics cards and downloading the PSVR2 Steam App. This workaround relies on the VirtualLink USB-C port, which is available on select GPUs, primarily from the GeForce RTX 20 series and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 and RX 7000 series. However, compatibility can vary, and some users experience Bluetooth connectivity issues with the PSVR2's Sense Controllers when not using the adapter. While the PSVR2 has impressive specifications, it has struggled in the market, and reports indicate cuts to funding for VR development. The addition of PC VR support allows access to a wider game library, but not all PSVR2 features are functional on PC.
