I would think so. There is no physical disk so it would have to be downloaded from somewhere and that seems to be the Steam store. The PC2 website even directs you to Steam.
If there was a game of the year version that included everything that would have been an alternative, but unfortunately they never made one.
So you might just have to give in and join.
Thanks for the tip. I'll give Steam and the DLC a miss. I've played it all on PS4 already but I've just ordered a PC so I can try the VR part that is lacking on the PS4 version. I'm hoping the base content of PC2 for PC will be amazing enough in VR to not require the DLC. Thanks again

Unless you are using a pirate copy, I'm pretty sure the base version of PC2 requires steam.
If you are new to PC gaming you may not fully grasp what Steam is/does. I have used Steam since 2006 and haven't had any real problems. Most PC games are Steam based - you are really limiting your choice if you choose to avoid it. Arguably Steam has saved PC gaming.
Are you saying that if I buy PC2 from anywhere but Steam it is probably pirated? Is it not available on a DVD?
No. I think the DVD is available but it still runs through Steam. The patches come through steam, and steam is used for the hot-lap leaderboards and for on-line racing.
