It’ll probably require additional hardware though. At least some kind of adapter.
Maybe not. You can actually already stream to a Quest using SideQuest and the PS Remote Play app for Android. I actually just set this up last night to check out RE4 VR which is only on PS5.
It wouldn't be impossible for them to make an official remote play app for VR that works with all HMDs. Or just add the ability to plug them into the console via the USB C port. It's really only software that needs to do anything.
The whole point of PC support is to use this without having a PS5. You can’t connect it to a PC without some additional hardware.
I don't see why it would. It's just a usb-c type connector. I would think it just boils down to driver/software.
No, it’s not just an USB-C USB3.0 connector. It uses an USB-C Alt-mode called VirtualLink. This was intended as a standard for connecting VR headsets and was briefly supported on PC, on 2000 series Nvidia cards, but no modern day cards support it.
It combines USB3, DisplayPort and some other stuff, and has some specific power output requirements. The pinout is completely different from the common DisplayPort + USB2 alt mode.
It will probably need an external box + power supply to work. Something like that already exists but hope/suspect the Sony version will be cheaper that his.
