If you’re a PlayStation 5 user who enjoys streaming, VR, or motion-controlled gaming, there’s news you’ll want to know: Sony is discontinuing the PS5 camera. They are also going to stop giving out the free PS5 adapter. Keep reading to learn more.

Why Sony is discontinuing the PS5 camera

The decision to stop producing the PS5 camera has raised eyebrows across the gaming community, and though Sony hasn’t released any details, as you can imagine, there are plenty of rumors. Some believe it may signal a focus on new hardware, like an upgraded camera, a potential VR accessory, or even a completely new way to interact with the console. Recent industry reports suggest that Sony is looking to streamline its accessory lineup to make way for future tech, which could mean exciting things ahead.

For gamers, this phase-out could be an indication that PS5 will soon support new and improved devices, making it worthwhile to stay tuned for announcements from Sony. Until then, however, the current model remains the only camera compatible with the console, which is why snagging one now could be crucial.

How to get a new PlayStation 5 camera before supplies run out

• Check official retailers: Major outlets like Amazon, Best Buy, and the Sony Store currently list the PS5 camera.

• Tools like Stock Informer and NowInStock can monitor retailer inventories for you, notifying you the moment a PS5 camera becomes available if you are having a hard time finding one.

• Resellers may mark up the camera price due to high demand, so if you see a steep hike, consider waiting for an official retailer to restock or checking alternative stores.

What about the camera adapter

Sony has given away free adapters for the camera since the release of the PS5 so it can work with the new system, as the cameras came out for the PS4, and they are essential for connecting the PS VR headset. However, Sony has announced that it will discontinue the free distribution of PlayStation Camera adapters for the PS5 on November 26, 2024.

To obtain a free adapter before the deadline, PS VR owners should visit Sony’s official request page and provide the serial number of their PS VR headset. This offer is valid until November 26, 2024, or while supplies last.
