New Games!
Hit Apple Arcade games Warped Kart Racers and Cityscapes: Sim Builder launch spatial experiences on Apple Vision Pro (source)
Both games can be played through Apple Arcade so require no additional cost. We’ve already played Warped Kart Racers and it’s a fantastic iPad port to Apple Vision Pro! Definitely worth a play!
Waiting excitedly for Cityscapes: Sim Builder which will be available early July.
Cityscapes: Sim Builder
Warped Kart Racers
“What If…?” from Disney/Marvel
This app is not quite a game, more a game-ish Immersive story. Amazingly well done experience and a MUST try. Apple and Disney put a lot of money into this! I left my play through feeling this just might be the future of movies!
Demeo from Resolution Games

visionOS 2 only masks out the floor where you're walking (source)
For Games this is really exciting as it means room and world immersive applications will now be enabled as previously the room would fade out once you walked out of the 3×3 space that your OS is centered at.
visionOS 2's .mixed mode safety passthrough has an interesting change, instead of making the entire view go transparent while moving, it only masks out the floor where you're walking (and probably walls if you're about to run into them)
