The project to use PSVR 2 as a PC VR headset has made progress with SteamVR output, but there are major caveats. While PSVR 2 technically works on PC in "cinema mode" with specific NVIDIA 20-series GPUs, it lacks positional tracking. iVRy, the developer of a third-party SteamVR driver for the original PSVR, has been experimenting with PSVR 2 and recently achieved a breakthrough by using extra hardware and custom software. However, this approach requires additional hardware and there is currently no onboard tracking. iVRy plans to develop an adapter using a Raspberry Pi Pico board, but mass manufacturing will require another company.
