If they do this, I will buy a headset.
Yes, please!
PSVR2 is a great headset, and I would love to free it from the shackles of PS5 exclusivity. If they officially supported PC, it would easily be the best PCVR headset you can get right now.
Would be cool if you could use it with the index controllers.
The biggest thing holding me back from getting one has been the console lock. I have a PS5 but would want to use it on PC more. I’ve thought about saving for an Index but know that the moment I buy one is the moment they announce Index 2
Well, hurry up and buy one. People have been waiting for an Index 2 for years!

I thought about this too in the last few days, but the index is pretty old now and I wish it had inside-out tracking.
The Index’s lighthouse tracking was actually a selling point for me. My first VR experience was a Quest 2 and I was surprised at how often my hands lost tracking; playing Alyx and trying to grab ammo was incredibly frustrating.
I am going to temper my expectations a bit, since the article is specifically singling out their clause on accessing additional games. But at the same time, I am huffing the hopium since Sony has upstreamed PlayStation controller drivers to the Linux kernel, so they might be receptive to supporting SteamVR, Steam Link or something equivalent, if possible. (No, before you ask, I’m not expecting Linux support on PSVR2.)
Oh wow it has eye tracking! I have high hopes for that feature.
But what I really want is to see and use my keyboard in VR and have an optimized desktop environment to pull up some text or document website quickly. I felt a bit trapped the last time I used VR and had to refer to documentations.
I recall it being said before the device came out that it wouldn’t be compatible with PC. How the worm turns.
that’s because it wasn’t. it still isn’t. the best hardware in the world won’t do anything for you if there’s no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony’s announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.
no one ever said it couldn’t be done.

I mean, when it was released, pretty much so everyone DID say that it couldn’t be done. Or at least that it would be extremely difficult without official support. It kinda looks like that’s the case.
This is great timing because Microsoft is killing support for my Windows Mixed Reality headset. Ironically, Sony will have better PC VR support than Microsoft.
My Samsung Odessy + has been going strong for 3 years now, feeling like a new headset when i upgraded 6 CPU generations and a couple GPU generations. I bet it could get maxed out even further with even better hardware, but NOPE.
Microsoft is going to be the new Google. I’m upset that my headset will soon be a paper weight. I can still use my original vive just fine but rip my G2.
