visionOS 26.3.1 is now rolling out for Apple Vision Pro users, landing while the visionOS 26.4 beta cycle continues in the background. The update is small, and it focuses on one annoying playback bug that some people ran into while streaming live sports.
If you watch games using MultiView in the Apple TV app, this release targets a flicker issue that could appear during playback, so it is worth installing even if you usually skip minor point updates.

Changes in visionOS 26.3.1
This release includes one listed change: it fixes a flicker issue that can occur when watching sports with MultiView in the Apple TV app.
That is the whole story for 26.3.1, so if you were waiting for new features, those are more likely to show up later in the 26.4 cycle rather than in this patch.
If you install visionOS 26.3.1, let us know in the comments if the MultiView flicker is gone for you, and tell us what sport or league you were watching when you saw it.
