Exploring the PCVR Universe with PSVR2: Top Games to Experience with the New Connection Cable

Virtual reality has advanced significantly in recent years, with a range of headsets providing diverse experiences based on your preferred platform. While the Meta Quest 2 and 3 have gained attention for their wireless features and standalone capabilities, they often struggle to capture the full potential and quality of PCVR. For those seeking a more immersive and high-quality VR environment, the PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2) has emerged as a leading choice—particularly now that it supports PC connectivity.

With the introduction of the new PSVR2 connector cable, Sony’s latest headset is no longer restricted to the PlayStation 5 ecosystem. This innovation grants access to an extensive library of PCVR games that were previously off-limits for PSVR2 users. Equipped with a high-resolution OLED display, cutting-edge haptics, and ergonomic Sense controllers, the PSVR2 is now set to be one of the prime means for experiencing VR—whether on console or PC.

Here’s an overview of five of the top PCVR games now available for your PSVR2 headset, along with a brief insight into what makes each title unique.

1. Boneworks

Boneworks is a physics-based VR sandbox that has gained a devoted following among PCVR fans. Created by Stress Level Zero, the game provides a distinctive mix of puzzle-solving, combat, and exploration—all rooted in a highly interactive physics engine. Unlike many VR titles where interactions feel scripted or restricted, Boneworks encourages extensive experimentation. Every object has weight, your body has mass, and movement follows realistic physics principles.

Despite its acclaim, Boneworks was never released on the original PSVR or PSVR2—until now, due to PC compatibility. With the new connector cable, PSVR2 owners can finally tap into the game’s complete features, including mod support and user-generated content that enhances gameplay longevity.

2. Blade & Sorcery

While Boneworks emphasizes physics-driven interaction, Blade & Sorcery focuses on physics-based combat. This medieval combat simulator lets players wield swords, bows, and magic with an unparalleled level of realism and brutality in VR. Each weapon behaves uniquely, and the game’s physics engine ensures that each clash, parry, and spell delivers a grounded and gratifying experience.

The game’s modding community is also a major highlight. From Star Wars lightsabers to Marvel-inspired magic spells, Blade & Sorcery offers endless customization. With the PSVR2’s accurate tracking and responsive controllers, the immersion has never been better.

3. I Expect You to Die 3

The third entry in the celebrated escape-room-style series from Schell Games, I Expect You to Die 3, carries forward the franchise’s legacy of clever puzzles, spy-themed scenarios, and witty humor. Each mission is a standalone puzzle box loaded with interactive elements, hidden clues, and lethal traps.

The game’s polished visuals and user-friendly controls make it a standout in the VR puzzle genre. Previously exclusive to PC and Meta platforms, PSVR2 users can now immerse themselves in this stylish spy adventure and enjoy its distinctive narrative style.

4. PC VR Mods

One of the most thrilling aspects of connecting your PSVR2 to a PC is gaining access to the vibrant modding community. Countless popular “flat” games have been converted into viable VR experiences thanks to dedicated modders. Whether you wish to sneak through the halls of Alien: Isolation, discover the world of Final Fantasy VII Remake, or even brave the challenging realm of Elden Ring in VR, there’s likely a mod available for it.

While not every mod is flawless—some games weren’t initially designed for VR—the diversity and creativity showcased here make this an essential pathway for any PSVR2 user with a capable PC.

5. Half-Life: Alyx

No list of PCVR titles would be complete without Half-Life: Alyx. Developed by Valve, this game is widely regarded as the benchmark for VR design. Set in the Half-Life universe, Alyx blends precise shooter mechanics, environmental storytelling, and inventive puzzles to create an exceptionally immersive experience.

From the moment you grasp your first gravity gloves to your final confrontation with the ominous Jeff, Half-Life: Alyx exemplifies top-tier VR game design. There were rumors suggesting it would debut on PSVR2, but that never happened—until now, with the introduction of the connector cable.

After linking the headset using the new cable, just download the PlayStation VR2 application from the Steam store and follow the on-screen prompts. In a matter of moments, you can…
