A recent report claims that Apple and Sony have struck a deal to make the PlayStation VR2's Sense controllers compatible with the Apple Vision Pro headset. This potential partnership could significantly enhance the gaming experience on the Vision Pro, but it may require Sony to alter its current PS VR2 supply chain.
Since its launch in February 2024, the Apple Vision Pro has struggled to gain traction in the VR/AR market, with fewer than 500,000 units reportedly sold. The device’s high price and limited everyday use, particularly in gaming, have contributed to its slow adoption. Similarly, Sony's PS VR2 headset has faced challenges in capturing consumer interest, despite efforts such as price reductions and PC compatibility.
Amid these challenges, Bloomberg reports that Apple and Sony may have come together to bring PS VR2 Sense controller compatibility to the Vision Pro. The deal is said to have been signed months ago, with Sony dedicating over a month to ensure compatibility between the PS VR2's controllers and the Vision Pro. Apple has also been reaching out to developers to update their Vision Pro games to support this new functionality. While the Vision Pro wasn't originally designed with gaming in mind, it does support the PS5's DualSense and Xbox controllers, albeit without the advanced motion tracking needed for a truly immersive VR experience.

This is where the PS VR2’s Sense controllers come in. Offering six degrees of freedom (6DOF), the Sense controllers provide precise movement and interactions ideal for VR environments, making them a natural fit for the Vision Pro. However, Sony may need to offer the Sense controllers as standalone accessories, as they are currently only sold bundled with the PS VR2 headset. If this deal proceeds, Apple could even sell the controllers through its retail and online stores.
Neither Apple nor Sony have officially confirmed the partnership, and it remains unclear whether the deal will materialize. However, given Sony’s recent expansion of PS VR2 to PC, it seems plausible that the company is open to bringing its VR technology to additional platforms. For Apple, integrating PS VR2 controllers into the Vision Pro could offer a significant boost to the headset’s gaming and media capabilities.
