read from tweaktown:

a new post over on the NeoGAF forums highlighting that PSVR 2 hardware authentication has been cracked for PC. The post from iVRy shows precisely that. What makes this exciting is that iVRy Driver for SteamVR is an application designed to use "iPhone, Android, GearVR, Oculus Mobile or a Sony PSVR headset as a Virtual Reality Headset for your PC."

Adding PSVR 2 into the mix would be quite something, and this undoubtedly looks to be the first significant step towards making that a reality. In response to a question on Twitter about how it managed this, iVRy responded with, "I am not at liberty to discuss that. It's pretty locked down. It's unlikely we could get locked out unless Sony changes how peripheral authentication happens on PS5."

Sony could move towards locking out PSVR 2 access on PC entirely with an update, or it could offer PC compatibility if it chooses to - and potentially bring something like the PSVR 2 exclusive Horizon Call of the Mountain to Steam. Either way, the situation is developing.
