3. Download the XBPlay app

1. On your Apple Vision Pro, go to compatible apps, search for XBPlay: Remote Play, and open it.
2. Next, log into your Xbox account, and a prompt will appear asking you to connect to the XBPlay app.
3. Now, launch a game of your choice and enjoy the upscaled display.

The XBPlay app is great because it supports HD displays up to 1080p. Apple Vision Pro will upscale your display, so you don’t have to worry about the quality.

Unfortunately, when you download the XBPlay app, it will be on a trial basis. If you’d like to unlock the full version, you’ll have to pay $5.99 as a one-off fee. It might be worth the investment since it offers a lag-free play experience.

Potential challenges and troubleshooting tips

• A compatibility issue may arise because your Xbox and Apple Vision Pro do not connect directly. Updating your Xbox and Apple Vision Pro firmware can resolve such issues.
• Connection issues can be resolved via an Ethernet cable, ensuring both devices are on the same network. Switching off nearby devices can also minimize interference.
• Lag issues are usually caused by a poor internet connection or display settings. Tweak your display settings to optimize performance and ensure a stable connection.
• If Xbox is not loading any games, try restarting the game or clearing the cache.

While there may not be official support for connecting an Apple Vision Pro to your Xbox, it’s pretty easy to achieve a similar setup. You can also connect your Apple Vision Pro to your PC if you’re looking for a multiple-display setup or to your Xbox controller for an immersive experience.

When trying out new ways to enhance your gaming experience on your Xbox, you can make plenty of adjustments. For instance, you can easily use your phone as a keyboard for your Xbox. The on-screen keyboard can be a bit slow, so your phone is a handy alternative.
