[🪻🧋Sylvie💮🍃]

Although I'm new to VR, which VR headset do you guys recommend? Meta Quest 3 or PSVR2?

PSVR2 that am aware of isnt supported on PC right now, so quest 3.

You're partially right, however, Sony announced that they're releasing an adapter that is compatible for PS VR2 in order to play SteamVR titles on PC, starting August 7, 2024.

Quest 3 because for better lenses and Airlink

Do I need to buy Uplink cable in order to work with Meta Quest 3 on PC?

To correct other people... You can currently use PSVR2 on PC through a work around, but official support through an official adapter will come in August. But, it has HDR,eye track and some feedback features disabled.
I'd recommend the Quest 3 or Pico 4 VR
Both are stand alone and technically the Quest 3 has a better screen, but comfort is lower and the screen has a weird ring in the middle that to me can be immersion breaking.
Basically users mostly prefer Pico 4 for PCVR, but both can be used stand alone and there's better app support on the quest.

My personal recommendation would be
for PCVR to get the Pico 4, it's cheaper with more comfort and easy of use as you don't need the Quest app or PS app to run while SteamVR is running(which can cause loss in performance)
If you want to use the stand alone headset features definitely Quest 3
and lastly if you have a PS5 and especially already have a PSVR2 than just use that. Otherwise don't go out of your way for PSVR2 for PC.

No, you can buy a cheap Amazon one, I got the Fasgear. works perfectly fine. Then you download VD (virtual Desktop) Hook your PC to the Modem with a Ethernet Cable and your Quest 3 to the same Modem but by wifi, and boom you can play without Cable plugged and and map out a larger play area. PS remember to quit your VPN.

quest 3, so much use case compared to psvr2, as long as you have battery packs for the headset (i got one that 4x the battery capacity of my quest 3, can play for up to 8hrs). Also would want good internet and a somwhat good gpu on your PC (i only run a rtx3060), you can play the game wirelessly into any room of the house and your PC does all the hard work.

I still recommend a Quest 3, all the full HDR and OLED wouldnt be utilize in alyx as the PSVR 2 came out 2 years after alyx came out. Am not sure if valve would patch the game to fix these issues as it be would be really cool but am sure valve wouldnt bother.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it.
