Apple is reportedly considering the future of gaming on its Vision Pro headset and is working with Sony to make it happen. Bloomberg reports that the two companies agreed to launch support for the PlayStation VR2's hand controllers on the Vision Pro. Apple has also supposedly approached third-party developers to integrate support into their games.

Apple and Sony were supposed to launch the PlayStation VR2 controller support weeks ago, but the rollout was postponed. An issue might be that Sony doesn't sell its VR hand controllers as standalone accessories, so the company needs to decouple the accessory from its headset. It must also sell these controllers at Apple's online and retail stores.

Peloton has just launched a standalone strength training app that won't require you to use its machines. The Peloton Strength+ iPhone and Apple Watch app comes with a US$9.99 subscription in the US. But it is free for most of the subscribers to the Peloton app. (Entry-level Peloton App One won't get free access.) The Strength+ app focuses on custom workout generation and multi-week, instructor-led programs.

With the new app's launch, the company now has three digital offerings: All Access with its support for Peloton's machines, the Peloton App with its machine-friendly App+ and equipment-free App One versions, and the Strength+ app.
