Apple Vision Pro Is A Sleeping Gaming Beast

Call it virtual reality, augmented reality, spatial computing, or something else; no matter the device in question, the market for headset gaming continues to grow gradually, but falls short of the meteoric expansion manufacturers have promised for years. Even so, Meta’s Quest has made significant inroads, now boasting a sizable library of titles, many of which offer novel play. And Valve is aiming to disrupt the space with its Steam Frame in the coming months.

Amid that competition, Apple Vision Pro remains an odd duck. Especially with the advent of a newly released revised version of the headset with Apple’s impressive M5 chip included (speeding up virtually everything), the much improved, surprisingly comfortable dual-knit band, and improvements to hardware features like ray tracing and the neural engine that boosts hand-tracking and persona avatars, it’s a machine that can’t help but impress.
