These are significant improvements over the PlayStation VR’s Move wands and include haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and gesture sensitivity for finger movements. They’re included with the PlayStation VR2 headset so that all PS5 VR users have access to the improved Sense controls.
Not only will there be the PS VR2 headset and the Sense controllers included, but Sony is also bundling in a set of earbuds.

Bundling in earbuds that can connect to the PlayStation VR2 headset will ensure no buyers go soundless, though. There will also be three sizes of plastic in-ear rings included, to ensure the buds fit all ear shapes.
There are also accessories required for general use included in the box. That means there will be a USB charging wire for the Sense controllers, as well as an instruction booklet to guide users new to virtual reality through setup. The wire attached to the PlayStation VR2 headset will be connected by default, though it can be replaced if necessary.
All in all, Sony has put together an impressive box including everything necessary to enjoy virtual reality on the PlayStation 5 with very little setup required. There are no extra cameras necessary to set up around a room, only a single wire to plug in, and intuitive controls to verify everything fits comfortably. That leaves more time for VR enthusiasts to worry about whatPS VR2 launch titlesto pick up.
