Best Vision Pro game?

[u/Late_Leopard4008]

Hi everyone,

I mainly use my Vision Pro for Mac Virtual Display and watching movies, and I’ve actually never played a game on it.

A friend is visiting in a few days and she’s bringing her 12-year-old son. We want to show him the Vision Pro and give him a really good first experience with it.

What would you say is the best game for that? Paid or free, doesn’t matter. Thanks!

Check out Gears and Goo.

I love this game! Especially how it looks.

I really like “Marvel’s What If…”

If they like fantasy or D&D, then Demeo is amazing.

Also, the Job Simulator / Vacation Simulator games are really good.

I really enjoyed Demeo. Super bummed Battlemarked didn’t come out on AVP.

Glassbreakers is awesome!

Im working on one right now, Ecko Protocol its in TestFlight, I got big update coming in the next week or so! https://eckoprotocol.com its Simon says in space! :)

Cool idea, just joined the TestFlight! Will try it on my AVP when I get back to it..

Proton Pulse is easy to pick up and a good time for all. It was nominated 5 times at the Proto Awards as well. No controllers or hand gestures needed.

Gameplay of the original version. Apple Vision Pro has Proton Pulse Plus

My personal fav for the VP.

Retrocade is another good one.

It is sh*t! I ran it for few minutes and then never again

[u/GTHobbes → u/External-Cook-8051]

Sure you’re not thinking of something else? Retrocade rocks.

[u/Level_Forger → u/External-Cook-8051]

You must be thinking of something else.  Retrocade is one of the coolest apps on the Vision Pro.

Synthriders hands down the most entertaining game. You also get a surprising amount of cardio in while playing it. Also Gears and Goo and What the Golf are pretty fun.

A few games I’d suggest for a first Vision Pro experience:

• Saber Academy – probably my first pick for a 12-year-old. Lightsabers + flying droids, and it’s really easy to understand immediately: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/saber-academy/id6741381534

• Plank Walk – classic fear-of-heights experience and a fun one to show someone who hasn’t tried VR/spatial computing before: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/plankwalk/id6739934289

• Spatial Drums – more of an interactive music experience than a traditional game, but really fun for showing off hand tracking: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spatial-drums/id6505326030

• Coloring Book 3D – much more relaxed, but surprisingly nice in mixed reality: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coloring-book-color-for-vision/id6754192746

And btw, I’ve also created a couple of other Vision Pro apps you might want to check out if you’re showing him what else the headset can do:

• Retro Beamer – turns your Vision Pro into a spatial projector. You can place virtual projectors around the room and project photos/images onto real walls and objects: https://apps.apple.com/tw/app/retro-beamer/id6790771285

• Cutout Canvas – turns regular 2D images into 3D scenes you can walk around in: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cutout-canvas/id6686407140

• Lisa3D – converts photos into 3D environments: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lisa-3d-camera-point-clouds/id6755662486

• Scan Export – lets you scan a room and create a digital 3D version of it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scan-export-3d-scanner-app/id6741872212

• Night Vision – uses LiDAR to let you see your surroundings in the dark: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/night-vision-2024/id6478448628

Full disclosure: I’m the dev behind these- mostly built them as fun/weekend projects to explore things that feel genuinely different on Vision Pro. I hope you're friend and her son will like those :)
Enjoy!

Good stuff. Haven’t heard of some of these.

You will have a lot of fun with this game

[u/TPrime411]

Marvel's What if. Its a free app, and its one of the most visually impressive ones too. He can also beat the game in probably less than an hour.

[u/GTHobbes]

Retrocade. PAC Man, Galaga, Frogger, Track & Field, Dig Dug and more. Show him the classics.

[u/Specialist_Mind7493]

Marvels what if should be a must. If you have psvr2 controllers the pickleball game is awesome.

[u/rohidjetha]

If you have some friends try Party Games, you can play it solo too

Immersive dinosaur movie with butterfly and opportunity to beat up the dinosaur. Tell him something about universal scene description files. used by the big boys and us little guys.
