We’re just a few weeks away from the official launch of the Apple Vision Pro, which was announced last year but won’t hit stores until February 2.

When Apple released the first beta of the visionOS SDK, there was a disclaimer on the Apple Developer website about it requiring an Apple Silicon Mac.

After being announced in June last year at WWDC 2023, Apple Vision Pro will hit stores next month. At first, the name chosen by Apple puzzled some people since a non-Pro Apple Vision has never been announced. But it seems that the company wants to be ready for when that happens someday, as it has been removing the “Pro” label from Apple Vision mentions in the latest beta of iOS 17.

Apple on Monday confirmed that Vision Pro will arrive in stores early next month. Following this announcement, the company also released an Xcode update that lets developers submit visionOS apps to the App Store. Interestingly, new guidelines from Apple ask developers not to refer to their new apps with terms like “AR” and “VR.”

Apple has announced more details on Vision Pro availability. In a press release today, Apple announced that Vision Pro will be available beginning Friday, February 2 at all Apple Store locations in the United States. It will also be available from Apple’s Online Store.

Following the release of the first beta of iOS 17.2 last week, Apple is now rolling out visionOS beta 5. Although Apple Vision Pro won’t be available in stores until next year, there are some developers who have already got their hands on Apple’s new mixed-reality headset for app development purposes.

When Apple unveiled Vision Pro at WWDC 2023 in June, the company highlighted the device’s potential for different categories, from productivity to entertainment – and that includes gaming. Since Vision Pro won’t be available in stores until 2024, we don’t know which apps will be available for it. But game studio Resolution has announced that it has plans to bring the popular role-playing game “Demeo” to Apple’s mixed reality headset.

As developers continue to work on bringing their apps to Vision Pro, Apple has shared a new update via its website with details on the Vision Pro’s App Store.

And surprisingly, someone managed to port a Windows XP virtual machine to visionOS.
