Xbox One VR rumours fuelled by official E3 website

4.2
The official E3 website has added a new category that’s added fire to the flame of Xbox One VR rumours.

With news of Sony’s PlayStation VR, we’ve been left to speculate as to what Microsoft’s approach to console VR will be.

So it’s been very intriguing, to say the least, to have discovered that the E3 website has added an Xbox One VR category that four developers so far have registered under.

The update was spotted on NeoGAF and the companies that have registered are Rebellion, Maximum Games, Readily Information Company, and 3DRudder.

Rebellion is the developer behind the Battlezone VR remake for Oculus Rift and PS VR, so it might that this is a possible VR title for the Xbox One.

Now we shouldn’t jump the gun, but coupled with the news that a major European studio told Ars Technia that they’re working on a VR game for Xbox One to release in 2017, could it be that the Xbox One Scorpio will be powerful enough to be compatible with the Oculus Rift? It already runs on Windows PCs after all.

The Xbox One Scorpio has already been reported as a “really substantial” upgrade, and following Palmer Luckey’s comments that the current generation of consoles are “too limited” for the Oculus Rift, the power bump could be just the thing to get the new Xbox console Oculus reday.

I guess we’ll have to wait until E3 to know for sure.

Do you think Microsoft are finally stepping into the VR arena with the Xbox One Scorpio? Let us know in the comments.

Really not hooked on this VR. I never sit down and just play a game none stop. I'm generally listening to music and browsing the internet during intermissions and often playing with friends in the same room. VR just seems to be a nuisance having to wear something, can hardly interact with people in the same room and would have to take it off every time you want to change song or use your laptop/phone. Hey, the amount of times people have said 'i wont use it' but then a few years later, you couldn't game without it so I'm not totally ruling it out, just not convinced as of yet.

Kind of tired of all these rumors..Microsoft claiming they don't want to do this or that, but end up doing it just months after. Really, their not building hype. People will be hyped either way..

As for me, I'm waiting 4 or 5 VR generations before I really get into it, so it's really good. But it already looks good one some, so maybe they will live up to it,

Lost VR is cool and all but I don't think I'd buy it. Rather spend my money elsewhere on something I'd use more.

Flipper_KS I'm so tired of this VR stuff. It's an expensive fad that barely anyone (especially the average user) will want to play every single day, if at all.


You literally took the words out of my mouth, VR is cool but not practical for the average consumer.


I feel like Sony, Nintendo and Xbox are going to make the next console based off VR.
