PSVR2 Sense controllers will soon be purchasable separately as support for Apple Vision Pro officially announced

Late last year, a rumour popped up claiming that Sony and Apple were planning to partner up, making its PlayStation VR2 controllers available to purchase separately while adding support for the iPhone maker’s Apple Vision Pro VR headset. Finally, in alignment with the announcement of the latest generation M5 Vision Pro, Sony’s PSVR2 Sense controllers are officially being decoupled from the headset itself.

As part of the official announcement for Apple’s latest Vision Pro headset, the tech giant confirmed last year’s rumours which claimed that Sony’s PSVR2 Sense controllers would be updated to support Apple’s VR efforts.

Set to be available to buy from the 11th of November, both previous and current-gen Vision Pro users will soon be able to purchase and connect Sony’s Sense controllers for easier navigation and improved video game support.

Unfortunately it appears as though Apple’s pricing strategies have impacted Sony’s senses, with the Sense controllers coming in at the costly price of $249.95 for a single pair.

For context, the PSVR2 headset (which includes the Sense controllers and Horizon Call of the Mountain) retails for $399.99, making the value proposition for the controllers alone somewhat jarring.

All that said, PSVR2’s Sense controllers do feature a ton of tech within them, including adaptive triggers; advanced haptics and more – and so they do represent the best VR controllers available right now.

Still, paying nearly 2/3rds the value of PSVR2 for the controllers alone feels like a bit too much.
