Yes. While Sony is almost certainly working on a newer version of the PSVR headset, it won't be ready to launch alongside the PS5. As such, the company has confirmed that the current PSVR headset will be compatible with the PS5.
For an idea of what tech might go into the next PlayStation VR headset (or PSVR2) then you can check out this patent here, as well as some concepts that Sony has previously talked about. While these improvements appear enticing, it could be some time before we see it materialize into the next available headset.
What about my PSVR games on PS5?Your PSVR games will also be compatible with PS5, as Sony has confirmed that the PS5 is backward compatible with the PS4. PS4 games include PSVR titles, so your collection will carry over.
While it is currently unknown whether or not the PS5 controller will include a lightbar, even if it doesn't, there will likely be a workaround to ensure compatibility with PSVR titles.
Will PSVR accessories work with the PS5?While PlayStation has not outright confirmed that different PSVR accessories such as the Move controllers or Camera V2 would be compatible with the PlayStation 5, it's extremely difficult to believe they won't work, as these devices are required for PSVR games.
