More developers are making VR software for Apple visionOS than PlayStation VR2

In this year’s GDC State of the Industry report — a massive and far-reaching survey of game developers across all disciplines within the industry — respondants were asked to detail their current and near-future plans for their software among differing platforms. This, of course, also includes virtual reality and augmented reality developers, who seems to largely be coalescing around Meta Quest and Steam VR as their primary landing zones for these technologies. That in itself is no surprise, as those two platforms also dominated the 2024 VR/AR list.

One notable change in dynamics, however, has been a flip between the PlayStation VR ecosystem — including both the original PlayStation 4-compatible headset and its PlayStation 5 successor — and Apple visionOS — exclusively used for Apple’s Vision Pro headset. While last year had the Vision Pro edged out by the PlayStation headsets 15% to 13%, in 2025, 26% of respondents said they were working on Apple visionOS software while 25% are making efforts on PlayStation VR/VR2.
