It’s widely understood that Apple’s forte in the tech world is certainly not gaming. If you want to get into gaming, buy a PC or a console. However, with the release of the Apple Vision Pro, we need to see what kinds of games are actually available to play on the headset.
Available games on Apple Vision Pro
Now, you can stream from your PC to your Apple Vision Pro in order to access your Steam library, but that isn’t what we are looking for today. You can’t play these games in VR. We want to know which games have been specifically built for the Apple Vision Pro and can be played using the latest tech.
Synth Riders
This isn’t Beat Saber, we promise. In a rhythm-arm-swinging neon world, you can flail to your heart’s content, moving in time to the music. You’re going to need a good amount of space for this one.
Due to Apple’s ties with Apple Music, they have managed to get such names as Muse and The Offspring on the musical lineup for this Apple Vision Pro game. It’s a direct copy of the already very well-known game from their rival company. However, I’m sure it will have a lot of success.
What The Golf?
This is a spatial golfing game for the Apple Vision Pro that allows you to play golf on small, wacky courses. The use of spatial gaming means that as you line up your perfect shot, you can move around the course.
What The Golf? allows you to play the cute little courses with all sorts of interesting objects. The game doesn’t just limit you to trying to get balls into holes. Sometimes you will be playing with a house, a horse, or even the golfer themselves. The best part? The dozens of different ways its developers found ways to interpret and reinterpret what the game of golf even is.
LEGO Builder’s Journey by LEGO
This is a beautiful game designed by the masterminds of LEGO themselves. Using small LEGO pieces, careful and subtle narratives can be played out in full spatial 3D. Using your tracked hands and the environment around you, it is possible to create small LEGO worlds to interact with.
Sadly, this isn’t a full LEGO set with which to play. It is specifically designed as an interactive storyline. The Apple Vision Pro game requires you to build the worlds for the small character. This results in a tale playing out in the very room you play in. The day you can buy whole LEGO sets to play with in VR, the market will explode.
Super Fruit Ninja
It’s a classic for any new Apple release, and the Apple Vision Pro isn’t exempt. Fruit Ninja was the showcase for the new Apple touch screens all those years ago. It is once again a great way to show off hand tracking and spatial gaming.
Super Fruit Ninja sets the stage in your own space while you wildly wave your hands around, slicing and chopping falling fruit. The game shows off the accuracy and rendering technology of the Apple Vision Pro while keeping your space fruit juice free.
Cut The Rope 3
It is another returning classic, proving that the Apple gaming team hasn’t been able to come up with anything new since the iPod touch. The addictive little game is once again a great way to show off the capabilities of hand tracking in a pass-through environment.
Using your hands, you need to cut the little green monsters’ rope to have them swing through as many stars as possible before reaching their destination. The environments are spatially implemented into your surroundings. This means you can play on the train, in a church, or your office.
