Apple has announced visionOS 26 for its Apple Vision Pro headset, introducing features that aim to enhance the gaming experience and expand its capabilities. The new operating system brings support for PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, turning the Vision Pro into a legitimate gaming device. This integration allows developers to port over popular Quest and Steam VR titles, making it an attractive option for gamers.
In addition to gaming, visionOS 26 introduces widgets that can be placed anywhere in a virtual space, facilitating shared spatial experiences. Users can now watch movies in 3D, play spatial games, or collaborate with coworkers. The update also enables eye-scrolling, allowing users to navigate through documents and apps using their eyes.
Other notable features include enhanced support for spatial videos from popular brands like Insta360, GoPro, and Canon. The software update will be available later this year, with testing beginning immediately. As Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference kicks off, developers can expect more announcements about the future of visionOS 26 and the Apple Vision Pro.
