Little Cities (2022), the pint-sized VR city manager, is getting a new version for Apple Vision Pro that’s all about mixed reality gameplay.

Called Little Cities: Diorama, the game will launch for Vision Pro through Apple Arcade on December 5th.

It also just so happens to be the game’s first foray into mixed reality, as the version available on Quest and PSVR 2 focus entirely on virtual environments.

Thankfully, Little Cities works very well with hand-tracking input, as it includes gesture controls and bespoke bubble popping UI so users can easily place roads, construct houses, and build landmarks in their bustling little towns.

    Well it's because Apple allows devs to use mixed reality freely, whereas Meta have devs sign in blood before they might gain approval.

    I'd like a mixed reality version on Quest myself, if it wasn't for the fact I have an OG Quest with a failing battery bought from a charity shop by my mother.
