You Can Play Gears Of War 4 On Your Playstation Vr

Inquisitive early adopters of the PlayStation VR have discovered that you can actually use the headset as a display for other HDMI devices such as the Xbox One, Wii U and a PC.

First spotted by a Japanese blog and posted on Reddit, then checked out by Ars Technica, it appears PS VR will default to a cinematic view mode which displays the connected source material, complete with sound via the PS VR headphone jack.

You’ll get a large screen experience, albeit at a lower visual quality than your TV will probably be offering, but you won’t get any kind of VR experience. To be clear the PS VR is simply functioning as a display, so you won’t be able to experience PC-based VR titles.

It will be interesting to see if any PC modders can enable some form of tracking via the PlayStation camera.

PS VR launched worldwide yesterday. We’ve been working our way through some of the launch titles, which you can check out below.
