Are you one of the dwindling few still clinging to their original 2016 PSVR headsets for use with PlayStation 5, desperate to squeeze out every last drop of value from this outdated tech? Then listen up: you’ve only got a few days left to claim that free PS Camera adapter Sony is pulling the plug on later this month.
In 2020, Sony introduced the PlayStation Camera Adapter at no additional cost to facilitate an upgrade path from PSVR users to PS5, despite the latter not initially supporting full PSVR functionality out of the box.
The PlayStation 5’s HD Camera, introduced alongside the console, lacks the capability to spatially detect the PSVR headset and PS Transfer controllers, necessitating the use of an additional adapter for seamless compatibility.
Indeed, the Quest 2’s launch nearly three years precedes Sony’s release of PSVR 2, rendering the adapter essential for experiencing VR content on the PS5 platform.
Sony announces that its free adapter programme will cease to exist on November 26th or until supplies run out.
If you didn’t request a free adapter and all you need is the serial number of the PSVR processing unit, In the United States, inquiries can be routed to Sony’s toll-free number: 1-800-345-SONY (7669).
While the adapter hasn’t officially entered the market yet. While there may still be options available on eBay, those who happen to own a used PSVR with an already claimed free adapter have limited alternatives. You’ll want it!
