Nvidia is expanding its GeForce Now game streaming service to more platforms, including the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, Pico, and, yes, even the Apple Vision Pro.
On Tuesday, Nvidia announced that those with select VR headset models will soon be able to stream games directly to their devices. The Apple Vision Pro was among the supported models.
It's worth noting that this doesn't mean you'll be able to stream VR games. Instead, you'll stream the games in an Apple Vision Pro Environment.
This means being able to play your favorite games on a simulated 100-foot screen. To do so, you'll need a GeForce Now account and to point your browser to the service.
GeForce Now offers multiple subscription tiers. A free, ad-supported tier allows you to try out the service with no monetary commitment. From there, you can pay for a Performance tier at $9.99 per month or $49.99 for six months or the Ultimate tier at $19.99 per month or $99.99 for six months.
Higher subscription tiers include additional benefits, such as access to more games, longer session lengths, and priority queuing. Additionally, players will stream from better-equipped rigs.
There's no official start date for the feature, though Nvidia says that players will be able to stream games to their headsets when the newest app update, version 2.0.70, starts rolling out later in January.
While it has been possible to play GeForce Now titles on macOS since 2021, GeForce Now first rolled out native support for Apple Silicon Macs in April 2022.
The service first made its way to iOS and iPadOS in November 2020.
Notably, it was the first way players could access Fortnite after Apple had removed the title when Epic sidestepped its 30% commission fee in 2020.

This may be semantics, but it's not really "native" support. Access will be via Safari, not via a native app, with all the implied limitations as a result. It's not a lot different than how you're able to use any one of a number of game streaming services on the iPad already.
Soon to be THE #1 usage of the VP.
with more companies going back to browser I REALLY hope amazon prime and peacock do cus my number one Vision Pro complaint is that I can't watch those full quality on it due to lack of safari support.
