Sony to Make PSVR2 Pads Usable on Apple Vision Pro, New Report Claims | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Sony has been working on making its PSVR2 controllers compatible with the Apple Vision Pro VR headset, a new report from Bloomberg states. It's claimed an agreement between the two companies is already in place and that the deal was actually supposed to be confirmed «weeks ago», but the «rollout has been postponed».

The report goes on to suggest the endeavour has resulted in a month of work for Sony to get compatibility between the two devices up and running. On the other side, Apple has been reaching out to developers to see if they would be willing to update their games to support the PSVR2 pads on Apple Vision Pro. As the article points out, one thing that Sony will need to rectify for this update is the fact its PSVR2 controllers aren't sold separately. You can only get them with a purchase of the PSVR2 headset, so they'd have to become a standalone accessory.

After its efforts to make PSVR2 a more viable option for VR players on PC, this is another step from Sony to make the VR device a product for more than just PS5 owners. It doesn't seem willing to commit time and money towards first-party games for the PSVR2, but it will let you use the headset and accessories elsewhere. An official announcement of Apple Vision Pro compatibility is still expected in the near future, according to Bloomberg.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Great news! Because why wasting development capacities to e.g. make PSVR2 backwards compatible to play PSVR1 games?

I just hope that Sony VR games will get ported to PC eventually. Everything is better at higher frame rate and resolution.

@Max_the_German To be fair that would require hiring people to almost completely remake old games made for different tech. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Especially considering how people are already complaining
