A new PlayStation Camera for PS4 was revealed yesterday at the 2016 PlayStation Conference and here’s everything we know so far.
The new PS4 Camera looks to be a slightly improved adaption of the previous model, combining an official stand into its design and getting rid of the blocky shape. The microphones now fit with the spherical shape and make the rounded shape look a lot more pleasing. It weighs lighter and is also smaller in shape than the original PS4 camera, but boasts all the same features.
