Setting up PSVR on PS5 works almost the same as on PS4

Other than the extra adapter, you can follow the same steps as setting it up on PS4.

The goods news for previous PSVR owners on PS4, the set up is almost exactly the same on PS5. The biggest difference is that you'll need to use an adapter to plug in the PlayStation Camera. Sony allows you to request a free PSVR adapter from its support website if you enter your device's serial number. Other than that, the process of setting it all of is relatively painless.

And for anyone wondering if you can just use the new PS5 HD Camera with PSVR, the answer is no; the new camera does not have a motion tracker. For whatever reason, the support just isn't there, and the two devices are not compatible with one another. It should also be noted that you'll want to play these PSVR games with the older DualShock 4 or PlayStation Move controllers as the DualSense may have some trouble with motion controls.

Regardless of whether you have an older PSVR CUH-ZVR1 unit or the newer CUH-ZVR2 unit, the setup is mostly the same.

How to set up PSVR on PS5

  1. Turn off your PS5 completely. Please do not put it in Rest Mode.
  2. Unplug the HDMI cable from your PS5 and connect it to the port labeled HDMI TV on the PSVR processing unit.

  3. Connect the PlayStation Camera to your PS5 using the HDMI adapter provided by Sony. Ideally, the camera should be placed around 5 feet above the floor.
  4. Connect the separate HDMI cable provided with your PSVR unit between the PS5 and the port labeled HDMI PS4 (this will work with PS5).
  5. Connect the provided USB cable between the front of your PS5 and the back of the processing unit.

  6. Connect the power supply to the back of the PSVR unit and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
  7. Connect the PSVR headset cables by matching them up to the symbols on the processing unit (CUH-ZVR2) or inline connector (CUH-ZVR1) depending on which model you have.
  8. Turn on your PS5.
  9. Press the power button on your headset (CUH-ZVR2) or inline remote (CUH-ZVR1).
  10. Follow the on-screen instructions and you're good to go.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
