Also, we’re pleased to share that we are currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access additional games on PC to offer even more game variety in addition to the PS VR2 titles available through PS5. We hope to make this support available in 2024, so stay tuned for more updates.

psvr2 on my pc would be awesome, I've read the screen and tech is better than what's being offered on the index

They should have done this to start, it was a pretty arrogant product launch. It hit at a good moment for VR gaming but added another walled garden right when people were looking to alternatives to Facebook.

Agreed - having the PSVR1 I have little reason to buy the second gen, but making it work with PC would be much more appealing with its higher resolution and multi platform support. I really hope they can make it work

They can make it work, but will they...they need to get their head out of their asses and realize they aren't really all that good when they restrict everything to some limited performance console.

The PS Vita side of Sony customer has gotten a deep taste of Sony’s issues of catering everything to a singular console. And same with PSVR2: Of course it must be PS5 exclusive, because everything are adornments towards their shiny console — and went on to not sell a lot of PS5.

Should've embraced PC from the get-go.

That article is from Jan 2023 when Sony responded to a Bloomberg report that they had cut production due to lower than expected launch sales.

It's possible they will rebut this article too, but they haven't so far AFAIK.

Oh shit. How’d I miss that? My bad.

Those who can afford it might want to buy something open source instead: https://shop.simulavr.com/

Not affiliated with the product. Its linux based and not a walled garden afaik. In 5 yrs when sony drops support for the headset, you can still use this one.
