This is huge if true. It will move a lot of units. Smart move by Sony.

Massive. I was day one for PSVR2 but now I am even more so. Really wanted to play HLA, almost ordered a PC headset but thankfully snapped out of it.

Makes sense otherwise what are PS gonna put on another RES VR title and some more generic on-rail BS.
Expect things like GT & Elite Dangerous Maybe even EA with a new Dirt Rally?

This has been a fan request turned rumor over the last year or so. Coincidentally this "rumor" begins to spread after PSVR2's been given new info...
Reminds me of the Persona 5 rumor after Joker came to Smash.

Please, be true! Would buy Alyx in a heart beat on PSVR2. Come on Steam and Sony, make it happen (and release it soon!).

Hmm, pretty damn interested if it's true and plays well/without major compromises.
Big HL fan but haven't touched the game cuz I wasn't about to shell out that money (plus other logistical reasons) for one game. And yes I'm aware I could get more than one game but you know what I mean.

That would be good for everybody and it would fit Sony new PC strategy.
Edit : but porting psvr2 games which will include eye tracking and haptics could be nearly impossible

Literally if this happens it would be so big for VR in general, Sony has no reason not to do it if they want to grow the overall VR market.

It really won't make much sense to console players who never got to play original games.
They could bring orange box to ps5 too.
Anyway - Alyx is incredible. I finished it two times and found it very NOT replayable. But it must've been the best gaming experience I've ever had. Like omg I've cried tears in my headset

I hope this is true, coming from a country with not so strong currency - PS5 is just a great deal in terms of performance for the money you are paying, PC gaming has been just too expensive for my wallet and I didn't play HL: Alyx yet

The absolute worst thing about Half Life Alyx is that there still really isn't a game that comes close to it, in terms of immersion and gameplay in VR. It's head and shoulders the best experience I've had in full blown VR. Here's hoping Sony are going to help push more triple AAA games like it into the VR space. We really need to start moving away from the short, 'oh, look at that' VR experiences we currently have far too many of. Alyx proved beyond all doubt that you can create solid 10 + hour games in VR, with proper narratives, characters, gameplay loops and interactive worlds.

If there was a partnership to bring PSVR2 titles to PC and vice versa that'd boost the VR market considerably, resulting in a net win for everyone.
The inside-out tracking of the PSVR2 will likely require tweaks to HLA given that it won't be able to do the over-the-shoulder actions as well, unless there are even cameras on the side of the headset.

This is 100% happening (maybe not Alyx at launch tho)
PSVR being PC compatible is a given, considering all the PS exclusive ports

It’s twitter, even 4chan has more reliable “insiders” than that place.

Yep that's the problem there.As much as I want this to be true, he is a far from good source.I think that in the last 4 to 5 months he has announced a new Infamous, Sly raccoon,Resistance and teased Syphon filter (I might be misremembering some and forgot lots of others).So maybe he'll be proven right in a few months but I wouldn't hold a lot of hope.

Yeah, I put literally zero stock in this rumor. It came out the same day of the other PSVR coverage. Just total coincidence.
It could still happen of course, but I could have put out the same comment just as easily. Source: my ass.

He also once claimed both Microsoft and Sony were in talks to buy Square Enix.

They should release it at launch, it's when it will be needed the most and before Alyx becomes outdated.

Well I guess like any port, they would have to re-engineer to the common denominator for the PC release, maybe make some compromises when they do the port.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
It also makes sense to not do it just like not every other Sony console add on has worked by default on PC. If it's sold at a reduced price, at cost or even loss leading, then they may want to keep it for their own ecosystem only so they benefit from every interested party's software sales rather than have it used for Steam/Oculus/Viveport games where they gain nothing. Unless they also intend to port all their VR games to PC then and think they will sell enough there to cover costs also (which may also be much more additional work as people will expect those to work on all VR kits and not just the Sony's, which don't all have the same features on their controllers and everything else, but that also boosts Sony profits since they don't "lose" profits from a PSVR2 in that case but still get money from the software sale, but in that case they can get the software sales benefit and never provide PSVR2 for PC either, unless they think that combined both together will yield even more profit). Or somehow ask for a cut from every non Sony PC VR game that is played using their VR kit, which would be ludicrous of course.
As for Valve porting Alyx and every other VR game they may be working on to PSVR2, sure, they can do that, or even let Sony do that if they trust them with it, if they care to do it at all, whether Sony does anything PC VR related or not. It would be great if either happens but I wouldn't say it's set in stone or a no brainer for it to happen. This guy probably doesn't know shit and is just getting his name out there thinking it's a 50/50 chance for all his future posts to be "from the guy that leaked Alyx PSVR2" vs people forgetting he was wrong at this point anyway so there's actually no real risk.

My attention also wanes after meals. Sometimes I even take a nap. Would be a bad time to release it for sure.

No he isn't and idk why people keep giving him attention. Most of the time he just copies what some other source said saying he heard the same thing. Last year he claimed Sekiro would come to PS+, Nintendo and Microsoft would have some kind of big announcement in the fall, and that Sly and Infamous were coming back. None of that happened.

Hope this is true, I am day one either way
Isn't most of the eye tracking going to be for optimising rendering so you can turn it off but have worst performance.
I think the Haptics will be like Dualsense aka optional and you will have the option to turn it off.
