For the first time in a good while, I’ve been playing with my PlayStation VR 2, thanks to the renewed excitement of being able to plug it into a PC and play Half-Life: Alyx for a bit. That’s also come with all the techy nonsense joys of fiddling with setting files to get Star Wars Squadrons to run better, with half the “fun” on PC gaming being just getting to run as well as it possibly can.
