It's coming at last after such a long time.

"The Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) has a decent selection of virtual reality (VR) available for it, but next month owners will be able to expand their content library even further. Oculus’ long term partner Microsoft has announced it’s going to bring Xbox One streaming to the headset, enabling those who own both platforms to play their favourite console titles in VR."


System Specs: MSI NVIDIA RTX 4090 , i5 13700K CPU, 32GB DDR 4 RAM, Win 11 64 Bit OS.

 native vr support or is this just more of that smoke and mirrors streaming bullshit that no one wants, cares or asked for?

"These won’t be actual VR titles of course, it’ll work just like VR cinema software. The Oculus app will connect to an Xbox One which will then stream the videogame onto a giant screen in one of three immersive VR environments: Citadel, Retreat or Dome."

pathetic, and an insult to anyone with a moderate level of intelligence

That's me stuffed then 🙂
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

Only someone with an extremely low intellect would call this pathetic.

I stumbled upon this article today, and that's badass news indeed. I was already enjoying playing standard PC games in a VR theater (StarCraft 2, Pillars of Eternity), and now folks can do this with their entire Xbox library at no extra cost. A great feature.

I am glad it is finally coming. 🙂  I was worried it would never come because they haven't said anything about it since they announced it over a year ago.

I guess it depends on the game
 I did not enjoy playing pc games, witcher 3 for example because of the resolution. That's just me. I'm sure there will be a lot of people that will like the huge screen.

One thing to consider is that this will be the first time we can take console games in their original form, and fully play them on a PC; without needing a ROM/Emulator or port software. It streams direct. That's kinda badass.
