DespiteApple’s protestations that it’s a “spatial computer” and a productivity booster, one of the most exciting things about any VR headset is gaming and the same goes for the Apple Vision Pro.
Apple’s $3499 headset might be more expensive than the competition but what it currently doesn’t have is something found on the $549 PSVR2, or rather - a pair of things. Controllers.
Instead of controllers, the Vision Pro tracks your hands with downward-facing cameras, it’s genuinely impressive but gamers will always prefer the precision and immediacy of a controller. They might just be in luck too.

Personally, for a serious gaming controller, I’d need a joystick and face buttons but who knows what Apple have up their sleeve, it is directly referred to as a “controller” in the patent which normally has gaming rather than graphic design connotations. I don’t think we’ll see this controller anytime soon, but it could be an indicator for what to expect with future Apple Vision Pro iterations.
TheiPhone15 saw Apple go big on gaming with new raytracing capabilities, and I’m all for the company throwing its hat in the ring when it comes to the gaming space. Now we just need some killer gaming apps, I doubtSonywill lend AppleHorizon: Call of the Mountainwill they? With the Vision Pro’s boundary-pushing hardware, it would be fascinating to see exactly what it’s capable of with the latest games.
