Apple is looking to make its Vision Pro mixed reality device more attractive to gamers and game developers, according to a new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
The Vision Pro has been pitched more as a productivity and media consumption device than something aimed at gamers, due in part to its reliance on eye and hand controls rather than incorporating a separate controller.
But Apple may need players if it wants to expand the Vision Pro’s audience, especially since Gurman reports that fewer than half a million units have been sold so far. Therefore, the company has reportedly been talking to Sony about adding support for the PlayStation VR2 hand controllers, while also talking to developers about whether they would support the controllers in their games.
By offering finer control, Apple could also make other types of software, such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Photoshop, usable on Vision Pro.
