Apple on Thursday announced the arrival of new “spatial games” that are designed to work on the company’s recently launched Apple Vision Pro headset. According to the company, these games are designed to run on VisionOS and are available to Apple Arcade customers.

Meanwhile, a total of 250 non-native titles can also be accessed on the mixed reality headset.

The company says more spatial games will be available to Vision Pro owners soon. These include Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, and Spire Blast. Like the titles above, users will be accessible through Apple Arcade.
