Apple Vision Pro to Gain PSVR2 Controller Support

The Apple Vision Pro is rumored to support Sony's PSVR2 controllers, potentially enhancing gaming and productivity. This collaboration, reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, could address the Vision Pro's limited gaming options and improve user interaction with visionOS.

Enhanced Gaming and Productivity

  • Sony has been working on PSVR2 controller compatibility for Vision Pro.
  • Apple encourages developers to explore the controllers' potential for app functionality.
  • The controllers could improve precision in apps like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop.

Currently, the Vision Pro relies on standard Bluetooth controllers, which offer basic navigation. The PSVR2 controllers could provide a more refined experience. This move could also boost the Vision Pro's appeal as a gaming platform, currently limited by a small game library.
