Product information & requests

What is the PlayStation Camera adaptor and what does it do?

The PlayStation Camera adaptor is used to connect the PlayStation®Camera* (sold for the PlayStation®4 console) to a PlayStation®5 console. This allows the use of PlayStation®VR when playing supported PS4™ games on a PS5™ console, including games that require PlayStation®Move or PlayStation®VR aim controllers.

*Model CUH-ZEY1 or CUH-ZEY2

Please note: The new HD camera for PS5 is not compatible with PS VR. You will need to use the PS Camera (for PS4) with a PlayStation Camera adaptor (no purchase required) to use PS VR on PS5.

As of November 26th 2024, or until supplies last, the PlayStation Camera adaptor will no longer be available.

Anyone who owns a PS VR headset qualifies to receive a PlayStation Camera adaptor with a limit of one per household.

Please call 800 345-SONY (7669) to request your free adaptor.

It will vary by region, however, you should be prepared to provide your PS VR processor unit serial number, first name, last name, email address, shipping address, and phone number.  Check the rear panel of the PS VR processor unit to find the serial number, which begins with the letter C, M, or P depending on your region.

Yes, PlayStation VR games are included among the thousands of PlayStation®4 games that are playable on PlayStation®5. Playing PS VR games on a PS5™ console requires a PS VR headset, PlayStation®Camera for PS4™* and a PlayStation®Camera adaptor (no purchase required. Call 800 345-SONY (7669) for details). For the best PS VR experience on PS5 we recommend using a DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller. Selected games may require PlayStation®Move motion controllers or be compatible with the PlayStation®VR aim controller. The new HD camera for PS5 is not compatible with PS VR. The PS VR headset, PS Camera, DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller, PS Move controllers and PS VR aim controller are all sold separately from PS5.
