How to Move PSVR2 Between 2 PS5s
If you’re a PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2) owner with more than one PlayStation 5 (PS5), you might be wondering how to easily transfer your VR headset between the two consoles. Whether you’re planning a gaming session with friends or simply want to have the flexibility of using your PSVR2 with different PS5s, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
First and foremost, it’s important to note that the PSVR2 is designed to be used with a single PS5 console. However, there are ways to temporarily transfer the headset between two PS5s for convenience. Here’s how to do it:
1. Backup Your PSVR2 Profile: Before moving your PSVR2 between PS5s, it’s crucial to backup your profile to ensure that you don’t lose any saved data or settings. To do this, go to the PlayStation Store on your primary PS5, select your profile, and choose “Backup and Restore.” Follow the on-screen instructions to save your profile to an external storage device or cloud storage.
2. Unplug the PSVR2: Once your profile is backed up, unplug the PSVR2 from the primary PS5. Make sure to disconnect all cables, including the HDMI, USB, and power cable.
3. Transfer the PSVR2: Carefully move the PSVR2 to the second PS5. Ensure that the second PS5 is powered off to avoid any damage to the console or headset.
4. Connect the PSVR2 to the Second PS5: Plug the PSVR2 into the second PS5 using the same cables that were connected to the primary PS5. The headset should automatically power on when connected.
5. Restore Your Profile: With the PSVR2 connected to the second PS5, go to the PlayStation Store and select your profile. Choose “Restore” and follow the on-screen instructions to transfer your saved data and settings from the external storage device or cloud storage to the second PS5.
6. Verify the Connection: Once the profile is restored, verify that the PSVR2 is working properly with the second PS5. Launch a VR game or application to ensure that everything is functioning as expected.
7. Repeat as Needed: If you need to move the PSVR2 back to the primary PS5 or to another PS5, simply repeat the process in reverse order.
By following these steps, you can easily move your PSVR2 between two PS5s without any hassle. Just remember to backup your profile and follow the proper connection procedures to ensure a smooth transition. Happy gaming!
