Apple’s Vision Pro Might Add Support for PlayStation VR Controllers

Apple is considering adding PlayStation VR2 controller support to its Vision Pro mixed reality device, aiming to attract more gamers and developers. This move could enhance the device’s appeal, especially as less than half a million units have been sold so far.

Vision Pro’s Current Focus and Challenges

The Vision Pro has been marketed primarily as a productivity and media consumption device. Unlike traditional gaming systems, it relies on eye and hand controls instead of a physical controller, which has limited its appeal to gamers.

Efforts to Expand the Vision Pro Audience

To expand its user base, Apple has reportedly been in talks with Sony to integrate PlayStation VR2 hand controllers with the Vision Pro. Additionally, Apple is engaging with developers to determine whether they would support these controllers in their games.

Potential Benefits for Software Applications

Adding support for PlayStation VR controllers could also improve the usability of other types of software on the Vision Pro, including tools like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop, by offering more precise control.
