With Sony’s PlayStation VR having launched virtually a yr in the past, questions are being requested about Microsoft’s personal console digital actuality resolution – nevertheless it appears the agency is not prepared to speak about it simply but.
At a latest Xbox One X preview occasion, we requested Microsoft’s Xbox Marketing Manager, Albert Penello, concerning the standing of digital actuality on the upcoming console.
“We’ll talk about VR when that happens,” Pinello mentioned, “For us, we’re focussed this yr on the X launch. There’s already a lot we’re asking builders to do.
“We’ve mentioned that we’re constructing for VR. Obviously Microsoft as an organization is tremendous invested in VR. For Xbox this yr, it’s simply not what we’re speaking about. There’s at all times new issues to speak about sooner or later.”
It’s reassuring to listen to that digital actuality on an Xbox console is a query of when, not an if, however we wished to know what we had been speaking about when it comes to timeframe. Was it going to be a subsequent era console or is that within the Xbox One X’s future?
A smile unfold throughout Penello’s face, the air between us turned a little bit thicker.
“That’s a great question.”
Where’s our headset?
Virtual actuality was a key a part of the Xbox One X’s (then known as Project Scorpio) authentic announcement again at E3 2016. However, there was no VR at E3, nor at Gamescom, and now with the Xbox One X simply a few months away, there’s nonetheless no signal of it.
However, this yr Microsoft did verify that its upcoming Windows 10 headsets will likely be compatible with the Xbox One platform in 2018.
VR is in an attention-grabbing place in the mean time, with new VR and AR headsets on a seemingly day by day foundation, and top-of-the-range headsets just like the and the getting huge reductions in value.
Unsurprisingly given its value benefit is the truth that Sony appears to be successful when it comes to variety of items offered. It that it had offered over a million items of its headset, considerably greater than estimated quantities for the higher-end headsets.
Without latest official numbers from HTC or Oculus it is troublesome to know whether or not that is nonetheless the case given their latest value drops, nevertheless it’s attention-grabbing VR headset that may be a companion to a video games console is doing so nicely.
In gentle of that, you’d think about (or hope) that Microsoft could be releasing a VR headset to associate with the , however thus far no luck.
