[Rumor] Half-Life: Alyx is coming to Playstation VR2

Definitely feel bamboozled thinking I was coming into a thread with confirmation, instead I got rumors.
If I am going to believe a leak, it's not going to be one coming from a website called "The Leak"
I'm personally of the thought process that, just like Beat Saber and Meta, Half Life Alyx is Valve's VR killer app and I don't understand why they would put it on PSVR2 when they have their own headset to sell. I'd be more than happy to be wrong though.

Regardless of the validity of this site, Valve has always been pretty open to working with console makers in various forms. So it's not necessarily a stretch to think it could happen. With that said, it would 100% be a "We'll pay you for it and do all the work to get it ported". It definitely won't happen if Valve has to do anything more than some oversight.
Since considering the age of Alyx now, it wouldn't really be a stretch to say that a port will reach the people not willing to dive into PC.

They have a bunch of placeholder Lorum Ipsom pages, articles only going back to August and from a quick run through of several articles don't appear to have broken any stories themselves. Apart from this one.
Absolutely needs a huge RUMOUR warning in the title and should be taken with a massive pinch of salt until corroborated.
Honestly if this happens I imagine Sony handles the porting and publishing and Valve has very little involvement. Valve has like 350 employees and are focused on a ton of things (Steam Deck, Steam client, Steam OS, Dota, CS, their in development game Citadel and possibly an Alex sequel/expansion) that there's no way they would port the games themselves.
They clearly dont have problems with other companies porting their games since an Nvidia owned studio recently ported the Portal games to Switch.
I have never heard of this site, so I won't put much stock in it, but I hope this is somehow true. More people should play this amazing game.
Given discourse in many HL/"Valve making games" threads, I get the feeling that a lot of people that haven't been able to play it think it's a gimmicky VR tech demo type of thing when in reality it's a full proper Half-Life game in VR, and I think those people will be pleasantly surprised.

PSVR2, at least in my opinion, doesn't yet have that "killer app" they need for launch and especially so if they stick to their guns and don't have backwards compatibility with PSVR1 titles outside of select games that get significant patches. This would be a big get for Sony.
I expect a lot of PCVR stuff will like Pavlov, Blade & Sorcery, Boneworks, Bonelab. Now that the PSVR has a control scheme close to PCVR I'd expect it, and I hope you guys get it there's some cool stuff out there.
Doubt this site has a genuine source. Just trying with an educated guess shortly prior to an expected PSVR2 showing.
seems obvious, but considering so many here are betting on this thing being $500, it'd be great to have titles like this at/near launch
I don't know I don't follow it, just saying it would make sense for PCVR games like Alyx to show up now that it is pretty much the same as PCVR.
