Minimum PC requirements
Here are the minimum requirements for PS VR2 gameplay on PC:

Players will need to download the PS VR2 App and the SteamVR App from Steam, after which setup can be accomplished as the settings, play area, and more are customized.
PS5 Feature differences
Because the PS VR2 was designed for PS5, using this on a PC will lock players out of certain key features like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback.
Other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features such as 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D Audio in supported games, are supported.
Is it finally time to dust off your PS VR2 again?
