Installation of PSVR2Toolkit SteamVR Driver

  2. In File Explorer, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PlayStation VR2 App\SteamVR_Plug-In\bin\win64
  3. Rename driver_playstation_vr2.dll to driver_playstation_vr2_orig.dll (IT MUST BE CALLED "driver_playstation_vr2_orig.dll", DO NOT RENAME IT TO ANYTHING ELSE, IT MUST BE EXACTLY THAT)
    • Be sure to have file extensions enabled.
  4. Extract the contents of PSVR2TK-win64-Windows.zip (or PSVR2TK-win64-Ignition.zip if you are on Linux) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PlayStation VR2 App\SteamVR_Plug-In\bin\win64
