Play LittleBigPlanet 2 using the PS Vita as a controller starting next Tuesday

Back at E3 2012, it was announced that LittleBigPlanet will have a cross-controller support where gamers can use their PS Vita as their controller when playing the game. Today, Sony gave a definite day as to when we can expect it.

Starting Tuesday, players will have an opportunity to purchase the ‘Cross-Controller’ pack that will allow PS3 owners to play LittleBigPlanet 2 using a PS Vita as their controller. With the cross-controller support, players can make use of the handheld’s rear and front touch screen as they solve the puzzles within the game. Also, there will be new levels that will make use of these new features. Before purchasing, make sure that you have a copy of LittleBigPlanet 2, a PS Vita, and a PS3. The DLC will retail for $4.99.

Here’s some details on the cross-controller starting Tuesday:
