Why This Matters

The integration of Nvidia’s top GeForce Now streaming plan with Apple Vision Pro enhances gaming performance by enabling smoother gameplay at higher resolutions and frame rates. This development signifies a major step forward in bringing high-quality, cloud-based gaming to premium mixed reality headsets, expanding the capabilities and appeal of Apple’s device for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike.

Key Takeaways

Nvidia’s most expensive game streaming plan now supports 90 frames per second gameplay on Apple Vision Pro. GeForce Now also streams at higher resolution for Vision Pro compared to other headsets.

Apple’s new M5 Apple Vision Pro (review) supports up to 120Hz refresh rates. The original M2 Apple Vision Pro supports up to 100Hz refresh rates.

Nvidia’s streaming rate for GeForce Now is capped at 60Hz for its free and Performance ($10/month) tiers. However, the Ultimate ($20/month) tier increases the streaming rate to 90Hz.

Apple Vision Pro gamers can enjoy higher resolution compared to Quest and Pico VR headset users, too, UploadVR notes:

…the $20/month Ultimate tier renders at up to 4K 240 FPS and now streams at 90FPS, with quadruple the vCPU and RAM of the free tier and an RTX 5080 equivalent GPU handling rendering for some titles, with an RTX 4080 for other less demanding ones. On the default Balanced quality mode, the Ultimate tier will stream to headsets at 1080p 90FPS by default. By switching to Custom mode, you can increase this to 1440p 90FPS on Quest and Pico, or 4K 90FPS on Apple Vision Pro headsets.

Meanwhile, Apple Vision Pro is getting another high-end gaming boost with help from Nvidia. X-Plane, “world’s most advanced flight simulator”, will work with Apple Vision Pro, starting with visionOS 26.4, and iRacing will join.

GeForce Now brings game streaming to Apple Vision Pro as well as the Mac for titles otherwise unavailable on either platform.
