F1 23 will only support VR on PC – No PSVR 2 support is planned

If you want to play F1 23 in VR, you will need a PC

F1 23 is coming to PC and consoles on June 16th, and on PC the game will launch with day-1 support for both VR and ray tracing on PC. When asked by Upload VR, EA confirmed that F1 23 will not support PlayStation VR 2 (PSVR 2), Oculus Quest 2, or any other VR platform outside of PC. If you want to play F1 23 in virtual reality, you will need a gaming PC and a compatible VR headset. 

At this time, it is unknown why EA does not plan to support VR on platforms outside of PC with F1 23. Sony’s PlayStation 5 console and PSVR 2 headset are certainly powerful enough to run the game in VR, though it is likely that EA did not want to invest in PlayStation VR 2 support before they saw what the launch sales were like for the headset. Simply put, EA probably did not want to invest in an unproven platform. Perhaps F1 24 will feature PSVR 2 support? 

Like other recent F1 series games, F1 23 is designed to be highly scalable, supporting both low-end hardware configurations and high-end gaming setups. F1 23 aims to offer visuals that will be able to tax ultra-high-end gaming systems, while also having settings that will allow the game to run on modest PC gaming configurations.
