Vision Pro, Meta Quest and Pico 4 (Ultra): VR headsets get support for over 2,000 video games in one fell swoop

The Vision Pro is an expensive pair of AR glasses that are technologically impressive, but not a huge commercial success for Apple thus far, which may be also due to a lack of compatibility with certain software or video games. 

This has now changed a little, as the GeForce Now app now supports the Apple Vision Pro as well as other kinds of VR and AR headsets and gives customers access to more than 2,000 game titles. An unsurprising aspect is that GeForce Now titles have to be played with a gamepad controller (a list of recommended gamepad controllers can be found here). Xbox and Sony DualShock 4 controllers are also supported. On a support page, Nvidia specifies the internet connection requirements: a data transfer rate of 40 MBps is necessary for 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, while 25 MBps is sufficient for Full HD resolution.

The gesture control of the Apple Vision Pro is not supported during gaming and the use of a mouse and keyboard is only possible to a limited extent, that is, not during gaming and only when using the app itself. The latest GeForce Now app also supports Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, Pico 4 and Pico 4 Ultra. Users should also keep in mind that not all games have been specially adapted for VR, in which case the VR headsets effectively only function as a display. This should still result in an immersive VR-like experience with the large screen diagonal, but it is still not a real VR experience with features such as head tracking.
