Cloud Gaming on Apple Vision Pro

Cloud Gaming is a great way to enjoy graphically demanding games on Apple Vision Pro.

Since Safari on visionOS does not support PWA mode, here is how you can access cloud gaming services on Apple Vision Pro.

What’s needed

• A compatible game controller
  • visionOS supports game controller from Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
  • visionOS is really opinionated on where to send game controller events so if your controller is not working with the service you're using, try tap the center of the view and that should inform visionOS that this app should receive the game controller events.
• Nexus⁺ app
  • Disclosure - I made this because I wanted to access these services myself. Some other apps may also available.

Using GeForce Now

GeForce Now is the ideal cloud gaming service to use on Apple Vision Pro. With 4K resolution support (GeForce Now Ultimate membership required), the visual quality of the games is stunning.

After pairing the game controller with Apple Vision Pro, you can access GeForce Now from the bookmarks.

Before starting your first game session, make sure you go to GeForce Now settings and adjust the picture quality for higher resolution streaming, as the default option may not be optimal for a large canvas. (Due to the lack of H.265 support in Safari's WebRTC implementation, you may experience visual glitch streaming in 4K 120FPS configuration. In that case try switch back to 4K 60FPS instead.)

If you run into issue starting the game session, try turn off Turbo mode from the edit menu.

Using Xbox Cloud Gaming

Xbox Cloud Gaming is also available and offers a wide range of console games that might be interesting to explore. The service currently only supports streaming up to 1080p.

You can access Xbox Cloud Gaming from your bookmarks.

The app also includes an option to use Better xCloud with the website. Better xCloud enables Remote Play from your Xbox console and offers a wide range of options you can tweak. You can enable the script by long-tapping on the bookmark option to open the context menu, select Edit, and enable Better xCloud.

To update the Better xCloud script, long-tap on the row to show the context menu and select Update to download the latest script.

Idea: make Apple TV port of this browser, mostly beacuse someone asked for better xcloud for Apple TV but also beacuse according to my research there is no web browser on Apple TV.
And also if you have Amazon Luna, you can also mention this as another way for cloud gaming, eventually ask someone else for testing.

@Julmik647 tvOS support is not possible given there is no WebKit support.

Idea: add support for adding custom userscripts, beacuse currently there's no userscript manager for Apple Vision. I think that there are some userscripts that some users may want to use on Apple Vision Pro.

@Julmik647 when you add bookmark, under advanced options there is the option to add custom scripts.

@Julmik647 tvOS support is not possible given there is no WebKit support.

@KhaosT so how does YouTube app for Apple TV work? YouTube TV app is web browser which displays YouTube.com/tv website so either Google has exclusive permision for YouTube od YouTube app for Apple TV is native app.
Edit (even while it's not really edit, beacuse I don't edited to add it, I found it after writing most of reply): on some YouTube video I found that YouTube on Apple TV Has slighty different UI, so it may be native app.

GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming are great platforms that allow you to play games at a high level, even if your hardware does not support them. I agree that it is important to adjust the image quality for optimal perception, especially if you plan to play in 4K.
