Description:
PSVR 2 controller support has arrived to the Apple Vision Pro, but right now 
it's going to cost you.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apples WWDC event detailed updates across its various software platforms, 
including visionOS 26 for its Apple Vision Pro headset, and two of the most 
exciting updates were spatial widgets and the news that PSVR 2 Sense 
controller support is on its way. 

As Apple highlighted in its announcement, the new controller support will be 
very handy for VR game developers, as it will allow Vision Pro apps to use on 
a familiar control scheme that more closely matches that used by other 
platforms. 

The Vision Pros 'look and pinch' mechanism may be intuitive for users, but 
it's very different to what other VR headsets use, which makes porting 
difficult. (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future) 

However, setting aside arguments that this update is arguably too little too 
late for the Vision Pro platform, theres currently a much bigger issue to 
address: you cant currently buy the PSVR 2 controllers separately. 

So if you want to be able to take advantage of this new Apple Vision Pro 
feature youll have to buy a whole new PSVR 2 VR headset bundle at $399.99 / 
399.99 / AU$649.00. 

That said, visionOS 26 isnt launching right away, though it is already 
available in beta. Hopefully, by the time of its full release Sony will have 
made PSVR 2 Sense controllers available to buy on their own  something fans 
of its headset have been asking for since launch. (Image credit: Apple) 

At the time of writing, though, theres been no confirmation that this will be 
the case  and given some of the missteps both Apple and Sony have made with 
their headsets I cant say Id be surprised if the controllers remained 
exclusively part of the PSVR 2 bundle rather than ever being sold separately. 

Well have to wait and see what happens on this front, but the silver lining 
to Apple opening up its visionOS platform to VR controllers is that we might 
see it launch its own handsets, or perhaps even launch the next Apple Vision 
headset with a pair. 

Considering the rumors we've heard about Apple wanting to make its next 
headset more affordable , this would certainly be a smart decision, as 
eye-tracking (a key part of the Vision Pro's existing control scheme) doesnt 
come cheap, and could be an easy feature to cull in order to cut costs. You
