The racing simulator iRacing is now available on Apple Vision Pro, expanding the app's platform presence. However, players will need a powerful PC to run the experience.

iRacing's Vision Pro integration allows drivers to experience the racing simulator in spatial computing. The app streams from a PC, meaning users cannot play directly on the headset—a capable computer is required to handle the graphics and processing demands. This marks another step in Vision Pro's library expansion beyond productivity and casual apps. Racing simulators are among the most demanding applications, requiring high frame rates and low latency to prevent motion sickness in VR environments. The PC requirement may limit adoption among Vision Pro users seeking standalone experiences. iRacing's typical player base already invests in high-end hardware for competitive racing, making the additional Vision Pro cost ($3,499 starting) a significant barrier to entry. Other racing titles have found success on spatial platforms. The move reflects growing developer interest in Vision Pro despite the headset's premium pricing and relatively small user base.
