Apple's Vision Pro VR headset has launched in the UK and Europe, but its high price and niche appeal raise questions about whether VR will ever become mainstream. While Meta's more affordable Quest 3 has sold millions of units, the overall market for VR headsets remains limited, with many devices abandoned due to a lack of compelling content. Experts suggest that widespread adoption may hinge on the development of more practical and less cumbersome devices, as well as a richer ecosystem of applications.
Sony appears to be abandoning its PlayStation VR2 (PSVR 2) headset, with significant cuts to VR game development and only two first-party titles currently in the works. Major studios like Insomniac Games and Firesprite have seen budget cuts and game cancellations, and no new first-party VR games have been announced for 2024 or 2025. The lack of support and features for PSVR 2 on PC further diminishes its appeal, making alternatives like Meta Quest 3 more attractive for VR enthusiasts.
Major discounts have been announced for several popular games, including historic lows for Dragon's Dogma II, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Assassin's Creed Mirage. Additionally, Meta Quest 3 accessories are available at 30% off. Various other gaming deals across platforms like Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, and PlayStation are also highlighted.
The competition from Apple Vision Pro has prompted Meta to enhance the passthrough quality of its Meta Quest 3 headset through a software update, improving resolution, image quality, and reducing graininess. This move reflects Meta's learning from Apple's approach and signifies the impact of high-end competition on headset development. While Apple's high pricing places it in a different market segment, the potential for a more affordable Apple Vision model in the future suggests ongoing competition in the mixed reality headset space.
