New Additions to Apple Vision Pro: Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, and Spire Blast Confirmed
Apple made waves on Thursday with the announcement of a slew of new “spatial games” tailored specifically for its cutting-edge Apple Vision Pro headset. These games, optimized to harness the capabilities of visionOS, are now accessible to Apple Arcade subscribers, offering users an unparalleled immersive gaming experience.
Leveraging augmented reality (AR) technology, players can engage with these titles through intuitive hand gestures, plunging into a world where the boundaries between reality and virtuality blur seamlessly. Alongside these spatial marvels, the Vision Pro also opens the door to a vast library of 250 non-spatial titles, ensuring there’s something for every gamer’s taste.
Among the standout spatial additions to Apple Arcade are Bloons TD 6+, Cut the Rope 3, Jetpack Joyride 2, and more, promising hours of captivating entertainment. Apple has showcased the intuitive gameplay mechanics of these titles, demonstrating how users can manipulate virtual objects with precision, whether it’s strategizing in chess or embarking on a fruit-slashing frenzy. With such groundbreaking innovations, Apple continues to redefine the gaming landscape, offering a glimpse into the future of immersive entertainment.
The company says that more spatial games will soon make their way to Vision Pro owners. These include Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, and Spire Blast. Like the aforementioned titles, users will be accessible via Apple Arcade.
These games are only available to customers who have subscribed to Apple Arcade or Apple One. A subscription to Apple Arcade is priced at $6.99 (roughly Rs. 580) in the US, while an individual Apple One subscription costs $19.95 (roughly Rs. 1,650) per month.
Even as Apple rolls out more content for the Vision Pro, a recent report notes an increased trend of Apple Vision Pro customers claiming across social media platforms they had returned their recently purchased headsets, as the company’s 14-day return window ends. Buyers are reportedly claiming that the headset is too heavy — it can weigh up to 650g along with a 353g battery that is connected via a cable.
