The Vision Pro was launched without serious gamers in mind. Now, Apple is reportedly looking to change that with a new partnership with Sony.
Apple is reportedly teaming up with Sony to bring PSVR2 controller support to the Vision Pro. This development, shared by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, shows Apple trying to tackle one of Vision Pro’s weak spots: gaming compatibility.
Currently, the Vision Pro relies heavily on hand and eye-tracking and supports standard gaming controllers, but it lacks native support for traditional VR controllers like those used in systems offering six degrees of freedom (6DoF). For context, 6DoF allows users to move and interact naturally in virtual spaces, tracking forward/backward, up/down, left/right, and rotations on three axes.
The Vision Pro debuted as a premium “spatial computing” device, priced at a hefty $3,499.
