PSVR 2 PC adapter restock: where to buy Sony's PS5 accessory
If you're looking for PSVR 2 PC adapter stock, you're not the only one
Sony finally enabled PC support for PSVR 2, but you’ll need to get your hands on the elusive PSVR 2 PC adapter. It’s frequently sold out everywhere in the US.
Frustratingly, this has become all too common with new PlayStation 5 accessories – and could happen to the rumored PS5 Pro this fall and the PSP 2 handheld next year, given Sony’s unfortunate track record. We’ll update this article when that changes.
Here’s how to get the PSVR 2 PC adapter restock:

The PSVR 2 headset hasn’t exactly flown off the shelves – though a recent discount saw PSVR 2 sales surge over 2,000%. It suggests Sony has misjudged demand or hasn’t shipped enough units, something we saw with the PlayStation Portal restock.
PSVR 2 PC adapter needs a DisplayPort cable
Remember, you’ll need to purchase a DisplayPort cable compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, which is sold separately. Considering the PSVR 2 PC adapter costs $59.99, it’s disappointing that Sony doesn’t include one in the box.
Before you rush out to buy the PSVR 2 PC adapter, it’s also worth noting that many of the PlayStation VR2’s features won’t work when connected to a PC. Some of the best parts of the PSVR 2, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback are disabled when playing VR games on PC, which is a real shame.
You’ll also need to ensure your PC meets these minimum requirements:
Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (Zen 2 or later architecture is required)
RAM/memory: 8 GB or more
GPU/graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or later (Turing or later architecture is required) / NVIDIA RTX series / AMD Radeon RX 5500XT or later / AMD Radeon RX 6500XT or later
DisplayPort/DisplayPort 1.4: (must have a standard DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output port)
USB: Direct connection only
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.0 or later
For the best performance, Sony recommends using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 or later GPU, or an AMD Radeon RX 6600XT or later GPU.
Why buy the PSVR 2 PC adapter
Still, being able to access Steam VR and games like Half-Life: Alyx may be enough of a reason for some of you to part ways with $59.99. After all, Sony hasn’t delivered the embarrassment of PSVR 2 game riches that many of us hoped for, though there is a growing list of PSVR 2 games you can play sitting down if the headset makes you feel sick.
The PSVR 2 PC adapter also helps soften the headset’s $549 price, as you won’t need to buy a PS5 console anymore. You’ll miss out on top PSVR 2 games like Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil Village, and Horizon Call of the Mountain, but there are far more titles to enjoy on PC – if you can get hold of a PSVR 2 PC adapter, that is. Yes, it’s like the PS5 restock chaos all over again.
More Sony PlayStation restock news
It turns out that the PSVR 2 PC adapter isn’t the only PlayStation accessory that sold this week. The need for us to write an Astro Bot PS5 controller restock guide shows that Sony has low inventory and high demand for its PS5 hardware. Pretty soon, we’ll have to start a PS5 Pro pre-order guide followed by a restock follow-up article.
