Vision Pro recevra le service de jeu NVIDIA GeForce NOW dans ce mois-là.

The Vision Pro has a lot of potential as a gaming device, but this potential has only been partially exploited so far. Today, an announcement from NVIDIA is one of the first signs of change to come.

The streaming service will be fully optimized for Safari on visionOS.

As reported by MacStories, NVIDIA announced that its streaming service, GeForce NOW, will be available on the Vision Pro at the end of the month "when the latest app update, version 2.0.70, is deployed."

From NVIDIA's announcement post:

With the assistance of Apple, Meta and ByteDance, NVIDIA extends GeForce NOW, the home-based online game service, to Apple Vision Pro computers, Meta Quest 3 and 3S, and virtual and mixed-reality devices Pico — with all features of NVIDIA technologies, including ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS…Next week, these supported devices will allow members to access an extended library of games for streaming via GeForce NOW by opening a browser and visiting play.geforcenow.co

It seems that NVIDIA will not be creating a dedicated app for Vision Pro, but will update GeForce NOW so it works well in Safari on visionOS.

NVIDIA claims that Vision Pro and other VR devices will be "compatible with controller games," and GeForce NOW Ultimate and Performance members will be able to "access RTX and DLSS technologies in supported games" for an even better visual experience.

This news follows a recent report by Mark Gurman suggesting that Apple and Sony were working on adding real VR game controllers from the PlayStation VR2 to the Vision Pro. Gradually, the story of gaming on the Vision Pro is beginning to extend.

Streaming games has had a tumultuous journey to be adopted on Apple platforms, mainly due to App Store rules that at one point limited streaming apps.

About a year ago, Apple updated its App Store policies to explicitly allow streaming apps. We haven't yet seen a major wave of developers bringing gaming streaming to Apple platforms, but today's announcement is a good sign for future potential.
