Those still holding on to their Apple Vision Pros may remain in a rather exclusive club throughout this year. Market research shows that sales for Apple’s first big, expensive headset will remain low in 2024. The latest reports from those keeping tabs on the Cupertino, California company say AVP will have dropped off 75% by the end of August. The true test for Apple’s spatial dreams may rest on the rumored (slightly) cheaper headset.

There are plenty of games coming out; it’s just that Meta isn’t making them themselves. So far in 2024, we have Underdogs, Medieval Dynasty, Riven, Mudrunner, Max Mustard, Ghosts of Tabor, Contractors Showdown, and many more.

Upcoming games include Skydance’s Behemoth, Batman Arkham Shadow, Hitman 3, Metro Awakening, and Alien Rogue Incursion.

I’m pretty sure Quest is where the money is, as it has the most users.

    Quest is indeed where the money is at. But most (all?) of those games are also on Steam and look a hell of a lot better.

    My point is that Meta isn't really offering anything compared to what you get with other headsets. Sure they were the clear winner in the Quest 2 days but now, not so much.

    Batman and Hitman are exclusive, but I think it’s great that studios take the time to port games to multiple platforms. Games have always looked much better on PC/PSVR, but it’s both more expensive and, most importantly, more friction to play that way.

    What Meta currently has is being the clear number one in standalone VR – the platform that most people prefer.
