The best PSVR 2 accessories are designed to help you enhance your virtual reality experience on PlayStation 5, or to provide various conveniences that’ll help make extended playtime easier or protect your device from long-term wear and tear.

With these following PSVR 2 accessories, you’ll be able to play more of the best PSVR 2 games with increased immersion and comfort, all while adding extra protection for the headset itself. We're now well beyond PSVR 2's launch, and more quality accessories from both Sony and third-parties have hit the market. Many are affordable, too, which will certainly be a relief for those who spent the full price for the headset (though it has since seen much-needed reductions), or more for its Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle.

The PSVR 2’s primary input method is the Sense controllers, but it also supports play with the DualSense and all the best PS5 controllers available today. Furthermore, the release of the official PSVR 2 PC Adapter means you can use the headset on a gaming PC with compatible SteamVR titles. As such, there's never really been a better time to check out PSVR 2's best accessories.

1. PSVR 2 PC Adapter

The best overall PSVR 2 accessory

✅  You want to expand the number of games available to you: With this adapter, you'll be able to hook your headset up to a PC and play countless SteamVR-compatible titles that you can't get on PS5.

❌  You don't have a gaming PC: Pretty obvious, but if you primarily game on PS5 with no other option, there's little point to owning this accessory.

Like it or not, the PSVR 2 PC Adapter is essential if you want to use your PSVR 2 headset on PC. This accessory originally launched a couple of years after the headset, most likely as a means to extend its lifespan once official support on PS5 began to wind down.

If you own a PSVR 2 and a capable gaming PC, think of the PSVR 2 PC Adapter as a way to bridge the gap. With it, you'll be able to access and play most of the SteamVR game library. Yes, that includes bangers like Half-Life: Alyx.

The PSVR 2 PC Adapter isn't essential if you're not much of a PC gamer, or don't own a gaming PC in the first place. However, it is a cost-effective solution if you own a PSVR 2 and you're not really keen on shelling out for anther headset, like the Meta Quest 3 or Valve Index.

2. PSVR 2 Sense Controller Charging Station

The best charger for PSVR 2

Specifications

Charge time: 90-120 minutes

Reasons to buy

+
Officially licensed Sony product 
+
Sleek design
+
Fast and convenient charging

Reasons to avoid

-
Relatively expensive
Buy it if

✅  You play PSVR 2 regularly: The Sense controllers don’t have the best battery life, so a quick and convenient solution is essential. 

Don't buy it if

❌  You’re after something cheaper: As it’s an official Sony product, the charger does cost more than most third-party units. 

Much like the DualSense, the PSVR 2 Sense controllers only have a few hours’ battery life from full charge. If you’re looking to buy just one PSVR 2 accessory, then, the official PSVR 2 Sense controller charging station is absolutely essential. Even better, it’s extremely lightweight and matches the sleek, curved design and white-on-black aesthetic of PlayStation’s current-gen devices.

As charging stations go, though, expect to pay the Sony tax. At $49.99 / £39.99, it’s one of the pricier options out there. However, you are paying for convenience here, as you’ll no longer need to charge the two Sense controllers separately via USB-C connected to your console.

The PSVR 2 Sense controller charging station is blissfully easy to use. The controllers click into place very easily and charge simultaneously. From empty, expect the controllers to be back to full in around 90 minutes to two hours. If you’re just looking for a no-nonsense, plug-and-play charger, this is the one to go for.

Best headset for PSVR 2

The best headset for PSVR 2

Specifications

Connectivity: Wireless
Battery life: 30 hours

Reasons to buy

+
Tailor-made for PS5
+
3D Audio support
+
Huge battery life

Reasons to avoid

-
Expensive
Buy it if

✅  You want peak immersion: VR games typically go big on immersion, so a top-class PS5 headset leans into that excellently. 

Don't buy it if

❌  You’re on a tighter budget: The Arctis 7P+ isn’t what we’d call affordable, and cheaper alternatives are plenty. 

The SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ tops our best PS5 headsets list, meaning it’s also well-suited for play with PSVR 2’s most immersive games. It’s a remarkably comfortable headset with an adjustable head strap that’ll ensure it remains secure, even during particularly active PSVR 2 games like Beat Saber and Horizon: Call of the Mountain.

The only real sticking point with the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ is its expensive price tag (though we promise the remaining entries on this list are much friendlier on your wallet). At $169.99 / £174.99, it sits towards the top of the mid-range headset price bracket. If that’s over-budget for you, then we’d also recommend the more affordable PS5 Pulse 3D headset, or just the default PSVR 2 earbuds which still do an adequate job.

Ultimately, the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ headset is worth buying for a couple of key reasons. It fully supports PS5’s Tempest 3D Audio for enhanced immersion, and has a monumental battery life of roughly 30 hours on a single charge. It’s perfect, then, for multiple long-term gaming sessions in between charges.

4. Collective Minds Charge Station & Display Stand

The best stand for PSVR 2

Reasons to buy

+
Doubles as a stand and charger 
+
Nice design
+
Affordable

Reasons to avoid

-
Magnetic connectors may require some wiggling 
Buy it if

✅  You need a multi-purpose accessory: The stand also doubles as a charging station that’s almost as effective as Sony’s official offering. 

Don't buy it if

❌  Finicky connectors frustrate you: Magnetic charging isn’t the most reliable. 

This PSVR 2 stand from third-party brand Collective Minds is superbly robust. With a slick aesthetic that matches the white, black and pulsing blue of the PS5 iconography, it’s well-suited as a stand for your headset. The stand also doubles as a charger, featuring magnetic connectors that lock the headset and Sense controllers in place. However, these may require a little bit of fidgeting to ensure your devices are secure.

It’s one of the more affordable PSVR 2 accessories on our list, too. At $29.99 / £34.99, it’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for a multi-use accessory that can stow your headset and charge its controllers simultaneously.

Charge time, much like the official PSVR 2 Sense controller charging station, will take around 90 minutes to two hours. It also features a cushion to protect the headset, and a set of rubber grips on the underside to prevent the stand from slipping on hard surfaces.

Affordable

Reasons to avoid

-
Quite bulky
Buy it if

✅  You really want to protect your headset: If you’re on the go, there’s no better way to keep your PSVR 2 safe from damage. 

Don't buy it if

❌  You only play at home: Don’t need to carry around your PSVR 2 to different places? You won’t need to buy a carry case. 

The PowerA Storage Case for PlayStation VR2 is the best case you can buy for the headset right now. It’s designed to safely store the headset as well as the Sense controllers in a tidy, compact manner. If you’re planning on taking the full package to a friend’s house, for example, then this case comes highly recommended.

While it's not the most sizeable offering on the carry case market (others provide room for ancillary accessories, for example), it's one that's still reliably in stock. Not only that, the build quality is pretty exceptional, providing a very sturdy shell for when you're taking the PSVR 2 out and about or simply want to protect it from dust.

Best PSVR 2 accessories - FAQs

How do I make PSVR 2 more comfortable?

PSVR 2 by itself is already a comfortable headset, but to take it one step further, consider investing in a head strap like the Devaso Adjustable Head Strap listed above. This will also help you lock in that ‘sweet spot’ that can be difficult to land on while the device is strapped to your head.

Can I wear PSVR 2 with glasses on?

Absolutely. The PSVR 2 is designed to support players who wear glasses, with some extra space afforded while the headset is being worn.

What games can I play with the PSVR 2 PC Adapter?

The PSVR 2 PC Adapter is required for accessing and playing SteamVR games (those being virtual reality titles released on Steam). Unfortunately, it's not compatible with the Meta Quest game library, or other VR storefronts.
