PlayStation users need to act quickly, as Sony has announced it will soon end the free PS VR camera adapter program. The company started making the adapter free back in 2020 to help PS VR users who wanted to make an upgrade to PS5. The last day to acquire an adapter as per Sony is November 26 or until stocks last.

People who are yet to get their PS VR camera adapter should probably request one as soon as possible. The reason Sony gave out the adapters for free is that the original PS VR had some compatibility issues with the PS5 camera. This was fixed in PS VR 2 but not everyone can afford such expensive VR set-up every generation.

These were made available for free for almost 4 years, but Sony is now halting its production. This is likely due to a low number of PS VR users on PS5. Furthermore, the company might also be looking to focus on newer tech as they previously enabled PC support for PS VR 2 which is a much more compelling option.

How to get the PS VR camera adapter for free?

Users can currently request the camera adapter for PS VR simply by heading to the official support website and requesting one. Sony will ask users to put in the serial number for PS VR. Once confirmed that there has been no request from the same serial number, users can then give the necessary details. Alternatively, players can call the PlayStation support and can go through a similar process to get one.

Although, due to some reason, players miss out, they always have the option to purchase a third-party adapter. They are usually cheap, but the first suggestion for users will always be the option to get an official one for free if they can.
