It seems that in order for the PlayStation VR2 device to work on the PC, players will have to acquire (read: buy) a special adapter for that purpose.
At the beginning of this year, Sony announced that it will soon extend support for the PlayStation VR2 to the PC platform, so that the VR device can be used without the PlayStation 5 console. However, it was not entirely clear at the time how this would work.
Namely, newer graphics cards generally do not have the USB-C slot needed to connect the PSVR 2. More precisely, the USB-C slot can be found more often on AMD cards than on Nvidia cards, but more often Nvidia cards can be found with PC gamers rather than AMD's solutions.
According to the currently unconfirmed information, Sony will come up with its own adapter for which they have already submitted the certification process.
This means that PSVR 2 owners probably won't be able to just connect that device to a PC, but will first have to acquire (read: buy) the necessary adapter for it.
We had a somewhat similar situation with the first PlayStation VR device, although not in combination with the PC platform (there was never official support for that), but in conjunction with the PlayStation 5 console. Back then, Sony sent adapters for free to anyone who wanted to use PSVR1 on the PS5 console.
In the end, we must say that even with good reviews received before its release, it still couldn't sell PS VR2's stock. The selling forced Sony to stop its production line. And now, it hopes to boost sales with PC support as an added platform. It's an effort that comes into play just a little bit too late.
