The gaming world is abuzz with the latest news from Sony Interactive Entertainment: PlayStation VR2 is now officially bridging the gap between console and PC gaming. Starting August 7, PlayStation VR2 owners will be able to explore the vast ocean of SteamVR titles with a new PC adapter that enables this cross-platform experience.

Setting up the PlayStation VR2 for PC gaming is pretty straightforward. Connect the hardware to your PC with the new DisplayPort 1.4 adapter and cable, download the PlayStation VR2 app and the SteamVR app from Steam, and you're ready to play.
