It doesn’t seem like PlayStation VR2 is having quite the same success as its predecessor, which was a runaway hit at a moment when public curiosity and investment in VR were at an all-time high. Nonetheless, it’s one of the most advanced VR headsets available—tied to a tiny library on the PS5.

That’s about to change, as Sony has confirmed its plans to launch a PC adapter for the headset on August 7. It will cost $60, and it will, at a minimum, let PSVR2 owners play a large library of SteamVR titles, provided their PCs meet the minimum specifications.

Sony’s blog post about the adapter says players will need a Steam account, so it’s unclear how or whether you can use the headset to dive into PC VR experiences through various channels besides Steam.
