A Unity sign-up page seems to have confirmed two of the best-selling VR games are coming to Apple Vision Pro: Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator.

As of this writing, the sign up on Unity's site for a visionOS roundtable to be hosted later this month mentions you'll "hear how Owlchemy Studios brought their popular titles, Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator, over in the fully immersive (VR) space".

Google-owned Owlchemy Labs is the studio behind both games, which are currently available on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR, and SteamVR.

Job Simulator was a launch title for the original HTC Vive and remains one of the highest selling VR games of all time. Its port to the Apple Vision Pro should make it one of the biggest titles to date on Apple's platform.

“I think we got it,” Andrew Eiche, the new CEO of Owclchemy Labs, told me last year when we demoed the company's latest hand tracking technology. “How do you get a billion people to play VR? The controllers are a barrier. They are built like video game controllers."

We've reached out to Owlchemy for comment.
