Apple today announced that 600+ apps with native support for visionOS will be available for the Vision Pro when the headset lands on customers’ heads in the U.S. this Friday.
Several entertainment apps – including streaming and sports apps like MLS Season Pass in the Apple TV app, Disney+, IMAX, Max, MLB, NBA, PGA TOUR Vision, and Red Bull TV – have all been fully optimized to take full advantage of the Vision Pro’s spatial design elements and immersive capabilities.
For example, Apple Vision Pro users with the NBA app and an NBA League Pass subscription can use the app’s Multiview feature to watch up to five broadcasts live or on-demand, view real-time stats and scores at a glance, and much more.
The PGA TOUR Vision app uses real-time shot tracking layered on top of 3D models of real golf courses alongside key stats — including leaderboards, scorecards, schedules, course information, and other tournament details — to bring the tour to life in a user’s space.
“With Apple Vision Pro and the power of spatial computing, Apple is teeing us up to deliver an innovative and immersive way of experiencing professional golf,” said Scott Gutterman, PGA TOUR’s senior vice president of Digital Operations. “PGA TOUR Vision, the first golf app developed for Apple Vision Pro, takes fans inside the ropes and directly onto the greens of the world’s most iconic courses, from Pebble Beach to TPC Sawgrass, no matter where they are.”
IMAX delivers an awe-inspiring viewing experience for 2D and 3D content, featuring popular documentaries such as Deep Sky in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio.
“Apple Vision Pro is unlocking the imaginations of our worldwide developer community, and we’re inspired by the range of spatial experiences they’ve created for this exciting new platform,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “With more than 600 new spatial experiences to explore in the all-new App Store, alongside more than 1 million compatible apps across iOS and iPadOS, users can discover a wide array of apps that expand the boundaries of what’s possible. These incredible apps will change how we experience entertainment, music, and games; spark our imaginations with new ways to learn and explore; unlock productivity like never before; and so much more. Developers are already capturing the promise of spatial computing, and we can’t wait to see what they create next.”
Other Vision Pro-optimized apps include Airmail, Box, CARROT Weather, djay, JigSpace, Lowe’s, MindNode, MUBI, Navi, Night Sky, OmniFocus, OmniPlan, Parcel, Sky Guide, Wayfair, Webex, Zillow, Zoom, and several others. Microsoft 365 apps also natively support visionOS, including Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, and Word.
Gamers will be able to enjoy a native Vision Pro experience with several Apple Arcade games, including Super Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope 3, Jetpack Joyride 2, Patterned, LEGO Builder’s Journey, WHAT THE GOLF?, Illustrated, Wylde Flowers, and many more.
In addition to the more than 600 native visionOS apps, over one million compatible iOS and iPadOS apps will automatically be available on the Vision Pro at launch. While these apps have not been optimized for visionOS, they will provide an iPad-like appearance.
