Rec Room was listed on the Apple Vision Pro's App Store in a clip from WWDC.
Rec Room is made with the Unity engine, which Apple Vision supports via "layering" onto its own RealityKit engine.
When describing visionOS's new App Store, footage in Apple's keynote showed a section of the visionOS App Store titled 'Apps and Games We Love'. Rec Room is clearly listed, alongside other apps like Zoom.
Rec Room's Head of Creators and Partners Shawn Whiting tweeted a screenshot of the clip, captioned '😎'.
The App Store on visionOS supports both spatial apps and compatible iPhone and iPad apps, so it's unclear if this refers to the VR version of Rec Room or the iPhone/iPad version on a floating virtual screen.
Whiting didn't respond to the many Twitter replies asking about this, and UploadVR also reached out to ask this question.
Apple Vision Pro doesn't have tracked controllers, instead opting for hand tracking and eye tracking for input. Rec Room VR today requires tracked controllers, but in March the company announced it was working on support for Meta Quest's controller-free hand tracking for next year.
Last year Rec Room announced it had over 3 million monthly active VR users, mostly on Quest 2, as well as many millions more on non-VR platforms like iOS, Android, PlayStation and Xbox. Apple's interest in ensuring Rec Room is on Vision Pro may be because it's a direct competitor to Meta's Horizon Worlds, which has so far struggled to gain the same level of popularity but is getting a major overhaul soon.
