Sony has finally revealed the details on how to receive a free PlayStation Camera adaptor that will allow current PSVR owners to use their headset and camera on the upcoming PlayStation 5. Despite the PlayStation 5 having a camera of its own, the new HD Camera is unfortunately incompatible with tracking PlayStation VR headsets. And despite rumors that were going around earlier this year, Sony is unfortunately not launching a new PlayStation VR headset alongside their flagship next generation console.

　　Below is a large Q&A segment from Sony regarding availability and other details to request a free PlayStation Camera adaptor for use on PlayStation 5. With estimated delivery times running at least two weeks in the US, there's a slim chance that upcoming PS5 owners might see the adaptor arrive on their doorstep just in time to check out The Tetris Effect in PSVR on the PlayStation 5.

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

　　A: 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
