Apple has launched its Vision Pro App Store, so if you’re looking for software for the forthcoming headset when it becomes available, it’ll be there.
Developers can now release apps for the Vision Pro and have those apps appear in the Vision Pro App Store. Consumers don’t yet have access to the Vision Pro headset, but reviewers who have the device on hand will be able to try out third-party apps created for the headset.
The visionOS App Store will offer apps designed specifically to take advantage of the headset as well as iOS apps that can run on the device in a 2D mode. Existing apps can be ported to the Vision Pro with no action needed on the part of the developer, which means that most apps should be available in some capacity. Developers can choose to opt out of having their apps appear in the near term.
Apple has begun meeting with select members of the media as of Tuesday to provide review units. Reviews are expected to go live at the end of the month, so this launch gives reviewers sufficient time to test out applications.
Pre-orders for the Vision Pro will begin this Friday at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The headset is set to launch on Friday, February 2, two weeks after when pre-orders happen.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
