Facebook is rolling out new fitness accessories to go with its Oculus Quest VR headset.

During its Facebook Connect keynote presentation on Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the pack will include a pair of grips designed to make it easier to hang on to controllers when a workout gets intense, along with a new facial interface that'll be more comfortable and that people will be able to wipe the sweat off of.

The pack is set to go on sale next year. No pricing information was announced.

Zuckerberg says unique fitness experiences will be a key part of the metaverse, a virtual environment for meeting, working and playing games.
