Does the Vision Pro support SteamVR or OpenXR or anything for games? Because if not then it's not really competing with the Quest 3. I only use my Quest 3 for games, and the Vision Pro's selling point seems to be as a way of looking at really big spreadsheets. The passthrough does look impressive though.


Games need to be recompiled for it, but several such as Beat Saber have been.

If they’re on Unity or Unreal Engine, etc, I hear it’s trivial.

And the killer app is video, not spreadsheets, though I’m sure it’s the best headset for that if that is your jam.

The movie watching on it is better than my 65 inch OLED tv.


Yeah I think this is probably part of the reason it's not doing well, the price being the other side of things. There was no effort done to integrate with SteamVR at all that I've read about.
