Microsoft announces partnership with Oculus
Xbox controller and Windows adapter bundled with Oculus Rift
Microsoft has announced a partnership with virtual reality pioneer Oculus VR.
At an Oculus event in San Francisco this week, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer joined Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe on stage to share some details on what fans can expect to see when the Oculus Rift launches in Q1 2016.
The Xbox One controller will be included with every Oculus Rift. The Xbox One controller is designed for interchangeable gaming between Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs and tablets, with fine-tuned impulse triggers for greater precision and control and a D-pad engineered to deliver greater responsiveness. And, with the new Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows that we unveiled last week included, you can play games on the Rift using the Xbox One controller wirelessly right out of the box.
Xbox One games will be playable on Oculus Rift. You’ll be able to stream your Xbox One games to your Windows 10 PC or tablet, and the same Xbox One streaming capability will be on the Rift.
The Rift will work natively with Windows 10 to make it easy to set up, jump in, and have a VR gaming experience.
More news on this collaboration is expected in the near future.
