The latest Bloomberg rumor du jour is that Apple and Sony are working to bring support for PlayStation VR2's controllers to Vision Pro. Apple Vision Pro's gaze-and-pinch interaction system is ideal for interface interaction, and its hand tracking is suitable for casual gaming. But many VR and mixed reality games and interactive experiences on other platforms require physical controllers.

To bring this kind of content to visionOS, Apple approached Sony earlier this year to bring support for PlayStation VR2's Sense controllers to Vision Pro, Gurman reports. This would also include support for navigating the visionOS interfaces.

Sony currently doesn't sell the PS VR2 Sense controllers separately, not even for replacements, but when this support launches it would start to, including at Apple Stores and from Apple's website.

Gurman claims Apple and Sony originally intended to announce the support "weeks ago", and that the rollout has been postponed. "My expectation is that an announcement will still come at some point — unless it gets abruptly scrapped.", he writes. For more, read the full Bloomberg report.

One of the things that Apple could do to move the sales needle for Vision Pro is to not only add Sony controllers but to announce a major game alliance with Sony that could shake up the gaming industry and give Sony a partner against Xbox. Apple is more than capable of developing their own gaming controller for Vision Pro. So going with the Sony Controllers is a way to ensure that they'll work with all Sony games.
