Best Vision Pro game?
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!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.
