PS5 owners can get a free PSVR adapter — here's how

We know that the PS5 will support virtual reality gaming, but as far as we know, the PSVR 2 headset won't be available for a while Thankfully, the current PlayStation VR headset on PS4 is fully compatible with PS5

The PS5 has its own camera, but it cannot be used with the VR headset like the PS4 camera Therefore, an adapter is needed to allow the old camera to be used with the new console Sony is distributing adapters to PSVR owners who wish to use them

According to the PlayStation FAQ, anyone who owns a PSVR is entitled to a free adapter, with a limit of one per household The request also requires a PSVR serial number, to ensure that no one is prematurely requesting an adapter that they have no use for This number can be found on the back of the PSVR's processing unit, below the microUSB port and power socket

You must also give your name, email, address, and phone number This is because Sony cannot send you an adapter unless they know who is getting it and where it is going

Once you have all the information in hand, you can head over to the registration page to receive your free adapter If you are in the US, click here; if you are in Europe, click here Sony plans to ship the adapters to Europe and North America in mid-November, and to Japan at the end of October In any case, they will be notified when the adapters ship and delivery will take up to two weeks

Again, this is completely free and the only way to play PSVR on the PS5

There is no mention of this being a limited time deal, so there is no rush But even if you don't buy a PS5 this year, it's still worth signing up for As long as you don't misplace the adapter, you'll always be ready
