Apple’s Vision Pro headset will have more than 100 games for you to play at launch, the company says. Meaning if you’re buying the headset for gaming more than anything else, it’ll afford you a decent library of titles to choose from straight out of the box.
Vision Pro of course isn’t just for games. It’ll let you browse the web, use apps, watch TV and movies and more. But games will seemingly be a big part of it. So much so that Apple appears to have set up some big titles for the headset’s release.
With the launch of Vision Pro users will be able to play games on a screen that feels 100 feet wide and uses a spatial audio system for an even more immersive experience. The headset even supports various controllers for connectivity including the PS5’s DualSense controller. Which you can see being used in the unveiling segment of the WWDC 2023 livestream from earlier this morning. Now these are more than likely not connected directly to the headset itself. And are instead probably connected to the Apple device that the headset is plugged into.
At launch Vision Pro will feature games like NBA 2K23
Apple doesn’t mention a whole lot about all of the available launch titles. But it does mention at least one big entry. NBA 2K23.
Users may even be able to play games like Death Stranding Director’s Cut. During a short period of the event, Apple announced some new gaming-related features for MacOS Sonoma, including a new ‘Gaming Mode.’ Not long after Hideo Kojima was brought on stage to announce that Death Stranding Director’s Cut was coming to Mac.
So potentially, if the Vision Pro is connected to your new Mac running this game, you could be playing it on a large AR display. The headset isn’t launching until early next year though so it’ll be a while before you can realize those dreams. Apple should announce more of the 100 launch titles by then too.
