We have finally seen the PSVR 2 controllers in all their glory. Furthermore, we now know their proper moniker: PSVR 2 Sense controllers.
At CES 2022, Sony announced the name of its latest PS5 accessory, following February 2021’s announcement that PSVR 2 was in development. The IT giant has been gradually releasing new details ever since. The PSVR 2’s technical specifications were revealed at CES 2022, and its headgear design has since been shown off.
The PSVR 2 controllers have a more orb-like form that should make them more pleasant to handle, and they have built-in haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and finger-touch detection to improve VR immersion. Similar to the DualSense controller and the Pulse 3D wireless headset, they feature rounded corners and a white-on-black color scheme.
A new PSVR system will be released in 2023 to replace the current PSVR. Unfortunately, the new headset isn’t PS4-friendly. Inquiring minds want to know! What follows is a comprehensive look at the new PSVR 2 controllers and everything we know about them thus far.

Quick And Dirty Guide To The PSVR 2 Controls
- To put it simply, what is it? PlayStation VR 2.0’s input devices will
- As soon as possible! Early 2023
- What Is The Price? Not Yet Determined, Although We Know That PSVR2 Will Have A Set
Sony published a blog post in March 2021 revealing the PSVR 2 controllers, a month after publishing another surprise post confirming that PSVR 2 is occurring, compatible only with PS5 hardware. We now know this peripheral will be included with the PSVR 2 and is formally known as the PSVR 2 Sense controller.
Sony announced the release date for PSVR 2 on Twitter. Further, it appears that we will be able to play PSVR 2 sometime in the first three months of 2019. The PSVR 2 Sense controllers are likely to be released at the same time as the headset.
How much should PSVR 2 controllers be, then? Like the PS Move controllers, Sony will probably sell extra pairs separately, and one pair will be included in the box. At launch, you could purchase a PlayStation Move controller for PS3 for $35/£35, or for $50/£50 when bundled with the PlayStation Eye camera. It cost an additional $25 / £25 for the Navigation controller (the Wii’s nunchuck).
Since the PSVR 2 Sense controllers are likely to share many of the same technical components as the DualSense pads (which retail for $69.99/£59.99/AU$109), we anticipate that their pricing will rise.
There is no word yet on whether or not the PSVR 2 controllers will support any add-ons, but considering the advanced technology already included, we anticipate that they will cost more than $35 each. Yet, Sony has not yet finalized the price, so this is all conjecture for the time being.
When compared to the PlayStation Move controllers, the PSVR 2 Sense controllers have a very distinct appearance. Sony’s Sense controllers are sleek and black, with a spherical design that promises a “high degree of freedom” and a more natural grip. Sony also states that because of this architecture, developers are able to implement “unique gameplay experiences” for users by not restricting how they use their hands.
Sony also claimed that the controllers’ ergonomic design took into account players of different hand sizes and feedback from PlayStation controllers past. What this means is that the controls for the senses need to be balanced and easy to handle.
From what we can tell, each PSVR 2 controller comes with an analog stick, two face buttons (one on the left and one on the right; Triangle and Square on the left, Circle and X on the right), a ‘grip’ button (L1 or R1, can be used to pick up in-game objects), and either an Options button (right controller) or a Share button (left controller). Each controller features what looks to be a charging port on the bottom, in addition to an adaptive trigger and a finger-touch detector (more on that below). Some pictures also show a wrist strap.
The PSVR 2 sense controllers are an attempt to enhance immersion with the addition of functions similar to those found in the DualSense but not in the PS Move controllers. We can count on Sense to provide satisfying tension thanks to its responsive triggers. For a more authentic experience, for instance, while drawing a bow, the player should feel the tension of the string in the trigger.
The PSVR 2 sense controllers incorporate the haptic feedback technology seen in the DualSense. Haptic feedback is a method of conveying information to players by touch, and it allows them to experience in-game experiences by touching the controller. You can feel the sand’s different texture as you walk across it in Astro’s Playroom for PS5, thanks to the DualSense controller.
Finger touch recognition is included in the PSVR 2 controllers, so you may use them to play without having to push any buttons. According to PlayStation’s head of platform planning and management, Hideaki Nishino, “this enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay.”
The new PSVR 2 headset will be able to track these controllers thanks to a tracking ring across the bottom of each controller.
In 2022, Sony unveiled the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller and its exact specifications at CES. Things like battery life will be unknown until we get our hands on it, but here’s what you can anticipate in the meantime.
Quick And Dirty Guide To The PSVR 2 Controls
We can’t wait to try out PSVR 2’s haptic feedback and adaptive controllers, which promise to further immerse us in virtual reality. But it’s up to developers to put these capabilities to good use. Although we’ve been impressed by games like Astro’s Playroom, Returnal, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart that take advantage of these DualSense features, we hope to see more studios adopt this strategy. They should be able to with the PSVR 2 controllers.
More Precise And Dependable Results
The PlayStation Move controllers weren’t the most dependable or precise devices, frequently failing in the middle of a game or failing to do the actions the player intended. We can only hope that this is fixed in the PSVR 2 controllers.
Not Overly Pricy
Virtual reality is more enjoyable with friends, thus we hope Sony is mindful of the cost of additional PSVR 2 controller pairs if they are sold in pairs (which seems to be the case). Given that Sony’s DualSense controller sells for $70, we expect Sony will charge at least as much for its additional controllers.
