Sony plans to introduce PC VR compatibility for PSVR 2 later this year, aiming to expand the headset's game variety and appeal. The move comes amidst concerns about the headset's game catalogue and lack of non-game VR content. While this PC VR support is a positive step for consumers, it doesn't fully address the underlying issues. Technical details about the support, such as direct connection to PC and compatibility with different VR platforms, remain unclear.

F1 23, the annual racing series, is set to release on June 16 for PC VR, featuring two new tracks and a new narrative-driven story mode called Braking Point.
