The PlayStation VR 2 PC Adapter has been difficult to find since launching earlier this month. The adapter adds Windows support for PlayStation’s virtual reality headset, and since it’s compatible with SteamVR, that means the PSVR 2’s catalog of supported games is in the thousands now. The PlayStation VR 2 PC Adapter is currently available at Amazon and Best Buy. Restocks tend to sell out quickly, and this is the first restock we’ve seen at Amazon that hasn’t disappeared in minutes.

You’ll need a bit more than the $60 adapter to connect your PSVR 2 to PC. A DisplayPort 1.4 cable and a Steam account are required. If you need a cable, you can pick up a braided 10-foot JSAUX DisplayPort cable for only $12.

Getting the headset working with your PC requires looks fairly simple, as you’ll just need to connect the headset to your PC using the PSVR 2 PC Adapter, then download the PSVR 2 and SteamVR apps.
You’ll miss out on some functionality (such as eye tracking and adaptive triggers), but 4K visuals, 3D audio, and plenty of other features are still supported on PC. Check out the trailer above for a closer look at PlayStation VR 2 features on PC.
The PSVR 2 had been one of the priciest consumer VR headsets when the PlayStation 5 was required. As a PC VR headset, though, the headset is on the budget side of the spectrum compared to the Valve Index and HTC Vive. The Valve Index with controllers starts at $749 (headset alone is $499), while the HTC Vive Pro 2 (headset only) starts at $799. Even with a $200 discount at Amazon, the HTC Vive XR Elite still costs $899.
Of course, you still need a gaming PC with the proper specs, so the PSVR 2 still isn’t as budget-friendly or streamlined as the most popular virtual reality headset on the market, the Meta Quest 3. A standalone VR headset, the Meta Quest 3 comes with a pair of controllers and retails for $500.
That said, the massive new library of SteamVR games makes Sony’s headset a far more versatile option in the VR space. If the release of the PSVR 2 PC Adapter intrigues you, you’ll find the PSVR 2 headset for a discounted price. Amazon has the PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle on sale for $520 (was $600) and the base package for $529 (was $550). These deals pale in comparison to the recent $200 discounts, but they are better than paying full price.
