Nvidia GeForce now at Vision Pro highlights the bigger problem with Apple and Gaming

I fell to the camp not to want anything more than a hand -held console on a small screen like Steam deck To play my favorite games. But can the opposite lure me enough to leave my comfort zone? What if I wanted the biggest screen to play my games? The Apple Vision Pro and GeForce Apple Vision Pro and GeForce will now be the answer, but Apple’s garden is again choking on what can be a great experience.

The price of $ 3500 per AVP is more than it would be convenient for me to pay for any visual product, let alone a 75-inch TV with a large QD screen. However, Vision Pro can offer the equivalent of a large wall -to -wall experience if you can feel comfortable with it. The system has a resolution of 3660 x 3200 on a micro-healing display of the eyes. The headset includes some of the best displays of any VR headsets I’ve used. Shouldn’t it be the best possible display to play non-VR games? Nvidia declared In early January this GeForce now It will start to support Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 without the players have to skip additional hoops to download browsers that are not the first parties. The problem for Vision Pro users is twice. One, Safari creates problems that do not exist on other platforms. The other issue is currently all GeForce’s plans are now sold.

Even with the most update, 2.0.70, nvidia clarify You can’t play mouse and keyboard games through GeForce now at Vision Pro and Safari. This seems to be a restriction on Safari, not a browser -based software based on GeForce. I’m fine with a controller to play Warhammer 40K: Darktide Of Vision Pro. If I wanted to dig Baldur III GateI would be so happier with a mouse and keyboard. It is strange that tracking the eyes of AVP and pinching the gestures work as a mouse click, even in the game. It is not enough to control most games anyway.

I want games to use high resolution lenses on Vision Pro and 100-degree FOV. The Safari window can become quite large, enough to fill the space of the entire wall, but it is not the widespread widescreen experience that would do the streaming of Vision Pro Sing. The service requires you to manually change the quality settings to force it to play with the promised 4K resolution. I was also locked up to 60 FPS, probably due to the maximum refresh rate of 100 Hz on Vision Pro displays.

Once you are finally in play with all configured settings, games can look very nice as long as your internet connection is saved. You need at least 40 Mbps for 4K resolutions up to 60 FPS. If you spend $ 3500 on Vision Pro, you may be able to afford high -speed internet services, but some of us are not too lucky with what we can get, depending on where we live.

I have already played some Vision Pro games through Mac Ultrawide Mirror Function to Visionos 2.2And it was a fun experience for the small (albeit growing) number of games supported by MAC. You could potentially a stream of a playing computer Using Apollo on Windows. However, streaming is the only answer when Apple does not play nicely with Epic Games Store, Steam or virtually any other store without your own app store. You can now get GeForce, which now works in the separate Nexus app. This is essentially the same experience of safari,

Streaming is an uncomfortable beast. This will allow you to play a game from practically everywhere, but it depends entirely on your internet speeds. My WiFi office is obviously not good enough for most games through GeForce now, let alone play it in the promised 4K resolution. You can now get GeForce, which now works in the separate Nexus app. In essence, this is the same Safari experience with the same restrictions.

So many of these problems could be aided by a specialized application. Either NVIDIA does not want to spend time creating a VR-first application, or does not want to be tangled with Apple’s demands for a 30% reduction in application purchases. There is no longer any application GeForce, available on iOS or iPados. You also need to remember that the service is expensive, especially if you want to play 4K. The final subscription usually costs $ 20 a month. This will usually bring you the equivalent of GeForce RTX 4080 GPU and long sessions but page sold outS This can be because the service now works on Peath Deck, so an entirely new wave of gamers seeks to jump to the service.

Either way, VR users are still locked by what can be a first -class experience. The play potential for Vision Pro is available, but without supporting a controller or games outside the App Store, it will always be limited. Apple has strengthened its impetus to bring the games into its ecosystem, though only under its conditions. The technical giant wants its customers to buy the latest and largest Macs or iPad for games. No Apple system can be a major goal for gamers without opening live knitting in its wall garden.
