Have you fallen for the Apple Vision Pro at 3999 euros? If not, maybe the price of the mixed reality headset from the brand with the apple has put you off. The price of the Apple Vision Pro probably explains why it has not been a commercial success despite significant buzz when it was released in the United States in February 2024.
Apple is therefore preparing a new version of its device at a reduced price in addition to an Apple Vision Pro 2. Despite everything, the Cupertino firm is still looking to improve the experience of consumers who own its mixed reality headset. For example, the Apple Vision Pro could soon support PlayStation VR2 controllers.
Apple Vision Pro games soon playable with PS VR2 controllers?
Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg journalist specializing in Apple news, reports that Sony and Apple are working together to officially bring support for the PS VR2 Sense controllers to the Apple Vision Pro. "Apple reached out to Sony earlier this year, and the duo agreed to work together to launch support for PlayStation VR2 controllers on the Vision Pro. Within Sony, the work has been going on for months, I'm told. Apple has discussed the project with third-party developers, asking them to integrate support into their games, he explains.
In December 2024, the journalist already mentioned the desire of the two companies to form this partnership. Support for PS VR2 Sense controllers on Vision Pro should arrive with the visionOS 3 update expected later this year. Players will then be able to use the PS VR2 controllers on Vision Pro not only to play, but also for navigation.
Let's remember that Sony does not market the PS VR2 Sense controllers separately. You must therefore imperatively purchase the virtual reality headset released in February 2023 to use the controllers on the Apple Vision Pro.
Apple probably hopes that this collaboration will give a small boost to sales of its mixed reality headset. On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine that players will get the PS VR2 simply to use its controllers on Vision Pro. Those who already own both devices will certainly find what they are looking for. The Apple Vision Pro has several games for which the use of the PS VR2 Sense would be interesting.
If you are interested in getting your hands on Sony's product, now is a good time to do so. The PS VR2 is available at a very advantageous price on AliExpress for a few days.
