When the PS5 launched four years ago, it was missing a port that was used for the PS4 PlayStation Camera among other accessories, so Sony launched a free offer for those that owned the original PlayStation VR to get a dongle that would allow them to still connect it.
In the next few weeks, Sony has announced that it will end this offer, so those that would like an adaptor to use their original PlayStation Camera with the original PlayStation VR on PS5 have until November 26th (or until stock runs out) over at this link HERE.
In order to be eligible, you need to have the serial number for your PlayStation VR (original) serial number which can be found on the processor unit.
“As of November 26th 2024, or until supplies last, the PlayStation Camera adaptor will no longer be available.” says an updated FAQ on the PlayStation Camera Adaptor support website.
Whilst we’d imagine the amount of people that need this adaptor to be small, it’s worth pointing out that there’s still many, many original PlayStation VR games that can only be played using the original headset on PS5 as PlayStation VR2 games aren’t backwards compatible. This includes Astro Bot Rescue Mission which is one of the best VR games to date and still stuck on the original PlayStation VR.
