Apple has reportedly approached Sony to partner on Apple Vision Pro controllers

A new report claims Apple has approached Sony in an effort to bring handheld game controller support — and presumably more games — to the Apple Vision Pro.


VR hand controller support could revitalize the software market for the Apple Vision Pro.

Bloomberg reports that a future update to visionOS will bring support for third-party hand controllers, including Sony’s PlayStation VR2 controllers. Apple has also reached out to third-party developers in an effort to bring more games to the Apple Vision Pro, with support for controllers as an inducement.

Traditional game controllers used with the Xbox and PlayStation are currently supported in the Apple Vision Pro, but only for Apple Arcade games. Bringing support for VR controllers, and encouraging developers to support more VR games for the platform, would likely increase sales of Apple’s headset.
