PS VR2 on PC: SteamVR, adapter and first test

PS VR2 can be used to play compatible Steam VR games on Windows. For the first start, check the connection kit, programs and both controllers.

Prepare your connection and programs

The official PlayStation instructions include a PS VR2 adapter for PC, USB 3.0 Type-A, and a separate DisplayPort 1.4 cable. SteamVR and PlayStation VR2 App are installed via Steam. Before purchasing an adapter, check the requirements for your computer on the support page. The presence of a connector does not confirm the conformity of the entire system. Prepare a clear space for the equipment and make sure that the cable does not interfere with movement.

Connect both controllers

Charge the left and right PS VR2 Sense and disconnect their USB cables before pairing via Bluetooth for the first time. On the left controller, hold down PS and create, on the right, hold down PS and options until the lights start flashing. Add each controller separately in your computer's Bluetooth settings. Then open the PlayStation VR2 App and follow its instructions. If one controller does not connect, repeat the check for it.

Take a short test in one game

After setting up, check the image, recognition of both controllers and the boundaries of the playing area. For the first launch, select one compatible game and a short quiet section. Write down the selected movement method and available control settings. If the problem occurs in only one game, compare its requirements and controller layout. A successful test in another VR game helps separate device setup problems from issues specific to one application.

What's different from PS5

HDR, eye tracking, head-mounted vibration, and adaptive triggers are not available on PC; Basic vibration of controllers is supported. The Steam library and the PS5 library have different access conditions: connecting a headset does not transfer purchases between stores. On a PC, leaving the zone boundary does not automatically switch the image to pass-through mode. Select the space according to the requirements of the chosen game and check the environment before each session.
