Does PSVR 2 need a camera to work on PS5?


Sony's PS5 VR headset comes with inside-out tracking, but you do need a camera for one aspect of PSVR 2

That means you don’t need to rush out and buy the $60 PS5 HD Camera if you’re interested in playing the latest PSVR 2 games, as PlayStation VR2 features inside-out tracking. This means there’s no way to show your audience that you’re physically climbing cliff faces in Horizon Call of the Mountain or leaning into every corner in Gran Turismo 7 without the official camera plugged in. To reiterate, then, you don’t need a camera for PSVR 2 to work on PS5, but you will have to grab one if you plan on broadcasting your adventures in virtual reality to the wider world.
