Tech giants Apple and Sony are reportedly exploring a collaboration that could revolutionize the gaming experience on Apple's upcoming Vision Pro headset. According to recent reports, the companies are discussing potential integration of Sony's PlayStation VR2 controllers with the Vision Pro system.
Industry insiders suggest that beyond gaming applications, the PSVR2 controllers could enhance productivity software on Vision Pro, including professional tools like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop. This would expand the headset's functionality beyond its current input methods.
At present, Vision Pro users can navigate visionOS and play games using standard Bluetooth controllers, though gaming options are restricted to existing iPhone and iPad titles with controller support. The addition of PSVR2 controllers could open new possibilities for immersive gaming and creative applications.
While neither company has officially confirmed the partnership, speculation suggests Apple may begin selling Sony's controllers as official Vision Pro accessories. This potential collaboration marks another step in Apple's growing focus on gaming and mixed reality experiences.
The news comes amid broader gaming industry developments, with Sony reportedly developing a portable PlayStation device for PS5 games. However, this separate project remains in early stages and may not reach market.
Both companies maintain silence on these developments, leaving consumers and industry watchers eager for official announcements about the potential Vision Pro and PSVR2 controller integration.
