Sony’s PlayStation VR headset is four years old, but the company won’t drop it when the PlayStation 5 console launches next month. The headset is compatible with the new system, but you will need a special adapter. And Sony has launched the request online request form on Wednesday, if you want to get your hands on one for free you have to fill it out.
The adapter is really not just for the headset but the PlayStation camera accessory that you need to track when you wear a PSVR headset, as the new PS5 HD camera accessory is not compatible with the headset. Beyond that, everything is supposed to work, meaning you should be able to plug your PSVR headset into the PS5 and use your existing PlayStation Move controllers to play all but two PSVR games, Sony confirmed earlier this year.
To be eligible for a free adapter, you need to provide your PSVR serial number and some basic personal information, including the shipping address for when the camera adapter will be available outside of Japan in November. (It starts in late October in Japan.) It’s not yet clear if the adapter will be sold separately at some point in the future, and for now, all we have are rumors about a possible sequel to Sony’s headset that will be complete. Compatible with the PS5.
