Want the best spatial games available on Apple Vision Pro? Here are our current recommendations.<\/p>\n

Offering a standalone headset more focused on productivity and media watching, Apple Vision Pro<\/a> hasn’t exactly set the world of gaming alight. It’s a considerably different proposition than Quest due to the lack of tracked controllers, relying instead on hand tracking and pinch gestures. That significantly limits the games available, so don’t expect major names like Gorilla Tag<\/a> or Assassin’s Creed Nexus<\/a>, let alone Meta-owned titles like Beat Saber<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some developers have adapted their existing titles for pinch gestures, while others have built new experiences from the ground up. We’ve also seen ALVR<\/a>, which lets you play SteamVR games through the headset. Hand-tracking in faster-paced games often feels sluggish, an assessment David Heaney noted in our Apple Vision Pro review<\/a>, though VisionOS 2 offers hand tracking improvements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple Vision Pro Review: A Heavy Portable Cinema & Monitor<\/p>\n

At $3500, Apple sets huge expectations with Vision Pro. But does it deliver? And what\u2019s it really like to own and use? Read our in-depth Apple Vision Pro hardware & software review here:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Right now, the spatial gaming experience feels limited compared to Quest, and we certainly couldn’t recommend buying this $3500 headset solely for gaming. Still, what we’ve found so far is an intriguing mix of genres and content types.<\/p>\n

We’re not including flatscreen Apple Arcade and iOS games in this list as they don’t offer a true spatial experience, but they are major parts of Apple’s effort since these are projected into your living space and can multitask alongside other apps. We enjoyed testing Sonic Team Dream<\/a> and Fantasian<\/a> through Apple Vision Pro with an Xbox Series gamepad, and resizing the virtual display by dragging its corners works well. Importantly, this virtual window still registers pinch and direct touch inputs for titles that don’t support a gamepad.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, these are our top 5 picks for the best Apple Vision Pro games so far:<\/p>\n
