The PSVR2 headset is a wired headset that connects to the PS5 system via USB-C connection. This differs from a stand alone system like the Meta Quest 2 which houses all of the electronics like the graphical processing unit, etc, in the headset itself. This allows for a lighter headset and more data that can be sent from the system- this amounts to higher visual fidelity and graphics. Because of the low price of the headset vs similar headsets, this is one of the best options on the market assuming you have a PS5. However, and this is important to know, only PSVR2 games will work with the system and there are only around 45 games available as of 05/31/2023 but over 90 games have been announced.

The Playstation VR2 requires a Playstation 5 to be used.

When a game is made for Playstation VR2, it traditionally uses the PSVR2 controllers that come with the PSVR2. The difference between a PSVR2 game and a traditional PS5 game is that in PSVR2 you are in a 3d world where your physical movement with the controllers is matched in game, with additional immersive benefits.

Yes the PSVR 2 requires you have a PS5.

Consider the VR headset to be more of a TV or monitor.
The game still runs on the PS5

PSVR2 requires a PS5, as they are tethered using a USBC cable. However, this makes the headset light weight since there's no battery, and the graphics are much better than standalone VR headsets.

Yes, without the gaming system it has no power source via USBc port. If the game doesn't support VR2, then it'll be no different than playing on a regular TV, cept on a 70" 2K screen depending what size of screen you have the VR2 set on in VR2 settings.
