Xbox and Oculus VR Announce New Partnership, Game Titles

Microsoft and Facebooks VR subsidiary announce new game titles and hand-tracking Oculus Touch Controller just ahead of next weeks E3 Expo. In a press event held in San Francisco, Oculus VR CEO Brendan Iribe announced that there will be a new wireless Xbox One Game-Pad controller and adapter included with the Oculus Rift. Not only that, but Xbox chief Phil Spencer was there to explain how the new partnership with Oculus goes beyond including a peripheral with VR purchase. The Rift will natively work with Windows 10 to make it easy to set up, jump in and have incredible VR experiences from day one, Spencer says.

That same streaming capability [from Xbox One to Windows 10 devices] will be available for Oculus Rift. People will be able to stream their Xbox One games like Halo, Forza, and Sunset Overdrive to the Oculus.

During the press event, the first-person flier EVE: Valkyrie and new RPG Chronos were displayed. There were also a number of other game titles announced that will be compatible with the Oculus VR like Insomniac Games Edge of Nowhere, High Voltages Damaged Core, Senzaris VR Sports, and Coatsink Softwares Esper, which will all be on displayed at next weeks E3 Expo. All of these titles are set to be released sometime in 2016.
