Original PS VR on PS5
Use a compatible PS4 VR game, original PS VR hardware, required controllers and a PS4 PlayStation Camera with its adapter. PS5 HD Camera is not a replacement. The official notice ending PS Camera adapter supply concerns availability, not proof that an existing adapter stopped functioning. Check current accessory availability before acquiring a setup.

PS VR2 on PS5
Use a native PS VR2 game and its required controls. Original PS VR software is not backward compatible through the headset; a publisher may offer a separate edition or upgrade. Check the exact title instead of assuming your original purchase supplies it. N33
The documented PS VR2 PC route
Sony’s June 2024 announcement describes a PC adapter route beginning 7 August 2024. It excludes features including HDR, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, headset feedback and the fuller haptic-feedback experience. A PC game license is not automatically supplied by owning a console edition. N32 · N39
Before buying PC components

No frame rate, tracking quality, comfort or game compatibility was tested by this publication. Start with Sony’s PC route announcement and support links.
