Sony has formally announced that a free PlayStation Camera adapter for the PS5 will no longer be provided. Because the headgear uses light-based tracking technology, the camera initially introduced for the PS4 must use the original PlayStation VR on the company’s current console.
The PS5’s built-in HD camera attachment with PS VR can only be used with PlayStation VR once supplies run out by November 26.

What this means for players Â
Users must submit their PS VR serial number through a form or Sony support to receive an adapter. Third-party adapters will then become the only available means of PS VR gaming on the new PS5 for those who wish to continue with the service. Â
Nevertheless, they remain exclusive to the first version of the headset, the PS VR, and include some first-party games. That means if you wish to use your PS5 for Astro Bot Rescue Mission orEverybody’ss Golf VR kind of games, then you will need a PS Camera adapter.
Sony’s changes mean that gamers may need to consider hardware refreshes or other setups that can provide them with the virtual reality experience they want.
