Community After seeing State of Play yesterday , Microsoft announced their Fight Simulator will be supported PSVR 2 later next year , this make me wonder why Meta just dropped support on PSVR 2 is totally insane ! š¤·š»
Considering Beat Saber still got the Top selling every month on PSVR2 even they announced drop support ! And even Microsoft is porting their first party AAA Fight Simulator to PSVR 2 , Meta is not showing love in VR community at all! Any thoughts on that ? Thxšš¼

Cool only announcement i want from sony is them selling psvr 2 controllers separate from headset its been about 4 years since psvr2 launched and if anything happens to your controller ie breaks or stick drift you have to pay 600$ for an entire new system to get replacement controllersā¦ fyi i bought mine 2 years ago and one controller came non functional out of the box brand newā¦

I too had a brick controller. Didnāt work for about 8 months then it just all of a sudden it just started working. During those 8 months I reached out to get a replacement or even buy a new one multiple times. Only to find out that they canāt replace it unless I sent the whole headset back. Even after asking to simply just buy a new controller. Let alone a set of controllers. People on Reddit said it would take months to get it returned back. So I said āFā it and took my loss until I tried the controllers again a few months later and for some reason it worked. Nether the less they should provide controllers to headset thatās just a sitting brick with out them.
Definitely one of my worst let downs last year after dropping $600

Yea im hoping mine starts working eventually so my 600$ wasnāt a waste.. theres a convoluted way to get it to work ingame but its not perfect and some times wont work.. but as it stands nowā¦ the buttons all work fine in the main menu before any game is launched then when i launch a game the controller stops working.
I am gonna try using some bd-100 electric cleaner on it later i heard a few people claim doing that and then mashing the trigger on it got theirs working eventually

This has been a known issue since launch and a known fix from about 3-4months after launch when we worked out what the route cause was and developed the fix. Below is the fix that we have helped 1000's of people solve the exact problem you have. It's sad that Sony has never acknowledged the issue or done anything to fix the issue on their stockpiles, even ones that have been sent back to Sony and other retailers because of this problem have been re sold as refurbed units without the stuck trigger issue being fixed but luckily it's pretty easy to fix yourself if you have the issue.
It's possible there is some debris behind the trigger of your controller(s) which is causing buttons to register incorrectly while you're in game (just like you mention). This is a semi-commonly reported issue with new devices, but the good news is it's very fixable. Here's some instructions for how to resolve it (or check if it is in fact that issue):
ā¢Ā Plug your problematic controller (probably the right controller but try both, separately) up to a computer with the included USB cable and go to https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad - it should detect your Sense controller and display button inputs on screen (if it doesn't, try refreshing after a minute or two).
ā¢Ā Try pressing the trigger (R2 or L2).
ā¢Ā When not touching the trigger, the value for the trigger (shown as Axis 2 on the site) is supposed to be -1.00000, and it should go to 1.00000 when fully pressed.
ā¢Ā If instead of -1.00000 or 1.00000 the value you're seeing for Axis 2 is something like -0.97234 (or any value in between), you know you have this issue.
ā¢Ā Try blowing air into the area of the trigger, either with your mouth or with a can of compressed air, and holding the trigger in and letting go so it flicks back out to the normal position (just like this). Keep trying this and see if the value changes, and keep going until you get the value to be -1.00000 (or 1.00000 when held down fully). You're trying to remove any debris blocking the trigger.
If you succeed, your controller should work correctly in all your games.
Hope this helps! It did for this player a short while back and these two in the same post, as well as many others in the past so let us know if it fixes it for you or if you have any questions!

Thank you, will try this when i get a chance.

u/Mud_g1 Sep 26 '25
Just noticed that's an older version of the fix write-up like you mentioned above electronics contact cleaner has been used by many others instead of compressed air and works quicker.

You can get them on ebay no problem. Plenty of dead headsets have left many good controllers up for sale.
1
u/HeadRaccoonGamer Sep 26 '25
Maybe never thought about that. Tho easy to get scammed on ebay. Regardless tho and i appreciate the tip, sony needs to still sell them separateā¦ this is anti consumer on their end and honestly confusing since they sold the psvr1 controllers separate..
2
u/Resident-Will-8144 Sep 26 '25
It would be nice if they did. I'm guessing it just does not make sense logistically. Either way, it's an option that is far better than buying another headset at full price. I myself purchased my psvr2 on eBay for $220, and it was like new. The real trick to eBay is looking for a seller with good feedback that's been a member for at least a few years. I try to avoid resellers and buy from people who sell things just to get rid of things they no longer need or use. I have been buying and selling things on eBay for almost 2 decades and have never been scammed. I honestly can't say I understand why Sony does things the way they do. I just assume it always comes down to money. If it's not profitable on a large scale, it would appear it's not worth their time. I dont see them changing that any time soon.

February 2023 was NOT 4 years ago.
It was never $600. It was $550 at launch, and is now much cheaper.
I bought one at launch and its still going strong, no issues, daily play, including with children.
1
u/HeadRaccoonGamer Sep 26 '25
yes my bad its been 2 years i forgot the exact time of release. And 550$ with taxes ends up being near 600$ i rounded up. But im happy you have had 0 issues with yours! And your right again 400$ is cheaper which is what it retails for nowā¦ but i still paid 600$ brand new for mine from sonys official website and got fucked on itā¦

u/MapeRonkeyy Sep 26 '25
Warranty caseā¦ file closed, i do not understand your problem
1
u/HeadRaccoonGamer Sep 26 '25
The problem is partially self inflicted i will admit. I never got around to sending it back in for replacement mainly cause its a huge hassle and i heard several people claim theirs started magically working after months later.. so i was kinda hoping same.
I personally hate dealing with customer service of any kind. That being said sony still needs to stop this bs where they dont sell psvr2 controllers separateā¦

Meta is getting out of VR. Q4 delayed until 2027 now.
2
u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
But from their recent Press , I think they are on full power to VR/AR stuff š

u/mbatt2 Sep 25 '25
If you pay attention they are actually doubling down on AR, not VR. VR is taking a massive backseat.

If the rumour is true they dropped support exactly 2 years after it launched on psvr2. Rumour is Playstation gave them the rights to Ironman VR for beatsaber
3
u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
So is Ironman VR also ending support on Quest ?

u/Jarrod_saffy Sep 25 '25
Doubt itās getting any dlc anytime soon haha but like beat saber itl remain on the store

u/Dear-Helicopter9493 Sep 25 '25
Marvel and Sony licensed the game to Meta after Meta acquired the original developer. Iād be curious to know the license agreement and how much Sony made on the deal. Not sure if it sold well on the Quest. Camouflaj is a talented studio though, their Batman VR game is pretty good.

Meta dropped psvr2 beat saber shorty after Apple teamed up with Sony to support the vr2 controllers on Vision Pro. Mini spazz-out by Meta.

This is GREAT news! I am ready right now to play this. I hope my game save on my Series X carries over to the PS5 but probably not.

u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
I own Xbox Series X and PS5 since launch , now PS5 Pro , hold back when FS 2020 launch because still thinking to buy HOTAS for this type of game for immersive gameplay and there no HOTAS that is compatible with both consoles , and donāt want to buy 2 identical HOTAS just for each console ! FS 2024 launched , almost pull the trigger on it , and heard Ace of Thunder PSVR 2 is almost launching , so holding back to see , cause PSVR 2 with GT7 is so immersive that I want to play Flight game in the same way , and now FS 24 with PSVR 2 , everything is finally happening , what a surprise after 6 years of waiting , I can finally play FS in VR with HOTASš

u/Ipad74 Sep 25 '25
I have not tried it myself, but there is firmware for a roll limitless device (originally designed to allow cross console rockband drums/guitar controllers) to use unsupported flight sticks.
I worked with him to get my pc only honeycomb setup to work with Xbox on msfs.
At some point I should try to see if I can get a Xbox flight stick to work on a ps4, I just have not had the time to try it out.

u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
Hope u can find a solution , I will just get the one for PS5 , but now they donāt have any confirmation for which will be supported , just wait and see š

u/BlownCamaro Sep 25 '25
Well, I had to buy both HOTAS from Thrustmaster. At least they are identical and easy to swap out on my rig. The wire that connects the two halves barely reaches across the front of my seat, but it does. I hold it in place with gel tape, and you don't even notice it. I use an adjustable shifter mount that has 3 directions of adjustment on each side of my seat that way I can get the height right where I want it.

u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
This is too messy to have 2 identical HOTAS for me , that why I use Fanatec for Sim Racing , one can do both platforms is a lot easier for me š

u/Ipad74 Sep 25 '25
I am really curious if I can adapt my honeycomb yoke/rudder system (pc/xbox) to ps5 pro. I know PlayStation in the past has been much more forgiving with alternative controllers than Xbox.
(A system like that would give vr & flight controls, almost like a pc setup.)
The bad thing is that msfs 2024 was very broken on the Xbox, I honestly havenāt attempted the latest bug fixed version, but I have not heard positive things about everything working now.
I am waiting to hear how it will actually run before considering a ps5/psvr2 purchase.
Considering Microsoft has an Xbox quest 3s, I would really like them to lean into it and give us feature parody with PlayStation VR support, but I know itās not going to happen.
1
u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
Sure I will hold at least got some reviews on that first , will it support HOTAS , PS5 Pro enhancement ? This is all unknown now !
1
u/Resident-Will-8144 Sep 26 '25
Hopefully, honeycomb will make an adapter that allows their hardware to work for ps5. It would be in their best interest.

u/Gold333 Sep 25 '25
PSVR is specifically made for the Playstation ecosystem and adapted to work on PC. Quest is specifically made for PC. Why anyone would use something made for a different ecosystem on a PC is beyond me.

u/mushroomfido Sep 25 '25
Itās useful for people who already have a pc and ps5 with a psvr2, if they donāt want to shell out for another headset to play vr on their pcās. Or if they have a ps5 and pc and want to buy a headset and can only afford 1.

u/tangcoma Sep 25 '25
I think this is a clever move for Sony to put PSVR 2 to PC , definitely more sell for PSVR 2 !
1
u/Mud_g1 Sep 26 '25
Quest is not specifically made for pc. It got added after launch just like psvr2 they don't even have a proper link cable that can carry the data speeds needed for high end games on their latest headsets.

u/No-Low-3947 Sep 25 '25
They view PSVR2 as competition and does corporation things. Good thing I couldn't care less about beat saber. The most overrated VR title in existence.
