This is the only controller you'll need for PlayStation VR.
If you're thinking about buying Sony's PlayStation VR when it launches this October, you should know that you don't absolutely need a pair of hand-tracking PlayStation Move controllers to go with the headset. Sony recently confirmed to Eurogamer that "all PlayStation VR titles will support DualShock 4 controllers. However, some game experiences will be enhanced with the use of peripherals such as Move or the recently announced Aim controller."
On the one hand, this makes PlayStation VR that much more accessible to the existing PlayStation 4 audience, which is already guaranteed to have a DualShock 4 controller to use with the $399 headset. VR users will still need to add a $50 PlayStation Camera accessory to enable positional head-tracking (provided they don't already own one), but they won't have to invest in the full $500 bundle that includes two Move controllers.
On the other hand, the DualShock support requirement means PSVR games like Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraption, which were originally designed for the HTC Vive's hand-tracking controllers, will likely have to be redesigned to support a standard handheld controller as well. That could lead to some awkward, button-and-joystick control schemes being grafted on to games that were made with true hand-tracking in mind.
