#support #arrive #year
Sony Interactive Entertainment is already testing the PC support of the VR headset, and it can also be seen that the strategy has changed significantly.
The PlayStation Blog has a new post discussing upcoming games for the PlayStation VE2. Here’s what Gillen McAllister, content communications manager at Sony Interactive Entertainment, wrote: “We’re excited to share that we’re currently testing PlayStation VR2 players’ access to additional games on PC to offer an even greater selection of games in addition to PSVR2 titles available through PlayStation 5 . We hope to have this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.”
At the moment, this is all that Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced, and it can be seen from the announcement that the company does not want to leave the money on the table, if it were to create it from the PC support. So far, we have heard that Sony does not want to neglect PCs, so we probably don’t have to wait months, or even a whole year, for one of Sony’s internal developments to appear on PC after the launch of the PlayStation 5 (for example, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which is said to be finished by Sony by the end of March, but this is not the same as a spring PC release).
In this way, Sony’s hardware can also gain ground in the PC VR market, and with this it can give a small boost to presumably ailing sales (perhaps we haven’t even heard concrete sales results for the new-generation PlayStation VR), since the camp of PCs is larger than on PlayStation 5. On sufficiently powerful configurations, players can thus have a better experience using PlayStation VR2, and so there may be talk of a PC version of the exclusive games appearing on the platform. Sony could also make money from this, since the porting might not even involve a lot of work.
So Sony is opening up the platform, since until now there was no official transition between PC and PlayStation in the case of VR headsets. Hopefully we’ll hear more about support soon.
