The latest visionOS 2.2 update doesn't add much. Compared to iOS/iPadOS 18.2 with its many Apple Intelligence features, the visionOS 2.2 updates seem downright threadbare.
But if you have one, you should upgrade immediately, because there's a new feature we've been waiting for since it was first announced: support for wide and ultra-wide resolutions when using Mac Virtual Display. From the Mac virtual display replaces When your Mac released with Floating Display in VR Space, the feature in its original form didn't offer many benefits other than being larger than your Mac's original screen.
However, with support for wide and ultra-wide, the feature can now add significant new screen real estate compared to your Macbook's built-in display or a standard monitor connected to a desktop Mac. As Apple says, it's like working on two 5K monitors side by side.
