In order to make the leap to the new console, PSVR owners will need an adapter allowing them to plug the existing PS4 camera into PS5. But the new PS5 camera can’t be used to track the headset which unfortunately means PSVR will continue to rely on the original PS4 camera and won’t see upgraded tracking like we had hoped. Original Article (October 20th, 2020): It’s been confirmed for a while now that Sony’s existing PSVR headset will be compatible with its upcoming PS5 console.

There’s still no word on whether North American PSVRs will include the all-important adapter in the box, however it’s likely Sony is going worldwide with the new bundle so new users won’t have to go through the request process (see update above).

A store description of the bundle in question doesn’t feature info on whether it’s included or not, however it’s likely stock will be mixed, as the company hasn’t released a new hardware bundle in a while. Update (November 5th, 2020): A Reddit user has just reported buying a new PSVR Worlds bundle on Amazon Germany, showing a picture of the box stating that the adapter was included. With all-important adapter in the box, the same will be true for new PS5 users too. The Iron Man VR hardware bundle presents one of the best deals on the whole kit and caboodle, including the PSVR headset, PS Camera, two PS Move motion controllers, Marvel’s Iron Man VR Blu-Ray, PSVR Demo Disc and all of the necessary cables to get you up and running on PS4. The company says we should start seeing availability by the end of November. Update (November 11th, 2020): Sony has today confirmed that Iron Man VR hardware bundles ($350) in the US and Canada will include a PS4 camera adapter in the box. Now Sony says it will also be including it in North American Marvel’s Iron Man VR hardware bundles too later this month. We previously saw user reports that Japanese and European PSVR bundles would include the adapter inside the box.

PlayStation VR on PlayStation 5 won’t be able to use the console’s upgraded camera, however the company is providing a free adapter so you can still use the original PS4 camera.
