Xbox One games can be streamed to Rift consumer model

4.6
The consumer model of the Rift headset from Oculus VR will come packaged with an wireless Xbox One controller, an adapter usable with Windows 10, and the ability to stream Xbox One games to the headset.

“Rift will work with Windows 10 allowing users to stream their Xbox One games such as Halo, Forza, and Sunset Overdrive to the Oculus Rift using the controller that they know and love,” said Xbox boss said Phil Spencer during the briefing (thanks, Destructoid).

The tech comes with a controller, two OLED screens with a wide field of view, a tracking system with “very low latency movement” as well as an external sensor which can be set upon your desk, coffee table or whatever you wish to set it on.

Headphones are integrated into the headset, but removable, and features 360-degree spatialized audio.

The Rift also features a dial to adjust the interpupillary distance between your eyes and to make things for comfortable for different face shapes and sizes. It is covered in cloth for extra comfort; is light enough to hold with one hand, and if you wear glasses wear glasses, you can remove the interior face-plate.

We’re updating this post constantly as more information becomes available, so please be patient with us if it’s messy.

BFvsCOD I hope this means we can play forza with it.... Forza with this would be amazing with a g27


They teased about 5 seconds of gameplay with Forza Horizon 2. No one applauded. Kinda cringy.

I bet this will cost almost as much as the console.
