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
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.
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.
