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