Sony has clarified the steps needed to take to redeem the adapter.
We’re just a couple of short weeks away from the launch of the PS5, and even though your current PSVR will be compatible, Sony confirmed previously that using a PSVR on PS5 would require a camera adapter. You can now redeem one directly from the company for free.
How to redeem your free PSVR adapter on PS5
Go to global.support.playstation.com/s/pscamera-adaptor.
Click the I am not a Robot checkbox and select Next.
Enter the PSVR serial number, found on the back of the Processor Unit and select Next.
Continue to fill out the form with your first name, last name, email address, shipping address, and phone number.
Should you still have any trouble, you’ll be asked to contact PlayStation Support.
Speaking with UploadVR, a Sony representative confirmed that the adapter will not be shipped with the console in the box and that people will have to place an order to receive one separately.
Because the new upgraded camera for PS5 can’t be used to track the headset, unfortunately, it won’t support PSVR. While Sony is working on a new PSVR 2 headset, its release is likely a ways off.
If you’re looking to buy a PS5 but still haven’t pre-ordered one, you’ll want to do that as soon as possible. They’ve sold at fast at most retailers.
