Microsoft Announces $500 Xbox One X at E3, But Keeps Mum on Virtual Reality Features.
Janko Roettgers.
Janko's Most Recent Stories.
Microsoft officially unveiled its Xbox One X game console at the E3 video game expo in Los Angeles Sunday, but the company kept uncharacteristically mum on a key feature: Virtual reality gaming (VR), one of the mainstays of Sony’s PlayStation 4, wasn’t mentioned at all during the Xbox One X launch event.
Instead, Microsoft decided to focus on highlighting the device’s powerful hardware: The Xbox One X, which was previously known under the code name “Project Scorpio,” features a 172MHz graphics processing engine capable of processing 6 teraflops. In layman’s terms, this makes the Xbox One X 40 percent more powerful than Sony’s Playstation 4 Pro.
All that graphics processing power should make for smooth 4K game play, and Microsoft lauded the ability to upscale 1080p Xbox One games to 4K. The Xbox One X will ship with 1 TB of storage, and an exterior that looks a lot like the Xbox One S, albeit with an even smaller footprint.
In fact, it’s the smallest game console Microsoft ever made — but also one of the most expensive ones: The Xbox One X will sell for $499 when it reaches store shelves on November 7. That’s a whole $100 more than Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro.
And while Sony started to sell its PS VR headset as an accessory to the PlayStation 4 last year, Microsoft kept mum on VR Sunday. That’s despite the fact that Microsoft previously teased “Project Scorpio” as being a key part of its virtual reality strategy.
Microsoft has been working for some time on its own virtual and mixed reality headsets, and recently introduced its own PC-powered VR headsets for developers in partnership with Acer and HP. The company may try to get developers to warm up to the platform first before it ultimately launches a headset powered by its game console.

Don't hold your breath for an Xbox VR headset.
Microsoft's Xbox chief says Oculus, HTC already satisfy the need for virtual reality headgear.
Microsoft doesn't see the need to produce its own virtual reality headset -- and even if it did, that headset probably wouldn't plug into an Xbox game console in the same way that rival Sony's PlayStation VR headset works.
"Would we ever do our own VR device? We could, if we thought we had something unique to add," Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft's Xbox division, said in an Feb. 25 interview. "I don't think the unique add is to plug into the Xbox One console. That's not the magic unlock to me."
Virtual reality is about to become an actual reality for gamers who are willing to pay the price, with soon-to-be-released headsets promising to teleport you to other worlds. Many major tech companies are preparing VR devices, including Facebook, Google, Sony, Samsung, and phonemaker HTC. So far, Microsoft has been conspicuously absent.
Though Spencer recognizes that many Xbox One owners would want VR to be part of their gaming experience, he says there may be too many cooks in the virtual reality kitchen. "If we didn't think any of the device manufacturers were offering that, we'd have to go do something to help fill that gap," he said.
The "gap" Spencer referred to is between this spring, when the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Sony PlayStation VR headsets are slated to hit the market, and the eventual consumer release of Microsoft's own HoloLens visor. HoloLens lets users interact with computer generated objects that appear to exist in the real world, also known as augmented reality or AR. This is different from VR, which blinds users to the real-world and immerses them in a completely virtual one. (Microsoft has repeatedly said it's not planning a consumer release for HoloLens anytime soon -- it's for developers right now.)
Minecraft, as it would look inside a Microsoft HoloLens headset. Microsoft is bringing Minecraft to the Oculus VR platform first, though.
Microsoft may also be backing off from building its own VR headset because it doesn't need to. The company has an agreement with Facebook's Oculus VR to provide Xbox One game controllers with each Oculus Rift headset, and to let Rift owners stream their Xbox games to a virtual living room. Microsoft is also bringing the hugely popular Minecraft to Oculus as well.
The electronics giant could still change its mind, said Gartner analyst Brian Blau. "The market for VR headsets is just getting started and if Microsoft wanted to enter the market this year or next year, it would not be too late."
For now, the Xbox chief says he wants to make sure Windows is a great platform for virtual reality game development, one that supports Facebook's Oculus VR and Valve (co-creator of the HTC Vive) in their attempts. He seems content letting them be the ones to interface directly with gamers -- so long as Windows is the platform where they live.
"We definitely want to be the middleman," Spencer said.

Microsoft Reportedly Working on a VR Headset For Xbox One.
A new report suggests Microsoft isn't keen to be left in the dust by Oculus and Sony, so has begun work on its own VR headset.
According to the Wall Street Journal, sources close to Microsoft have confirmed the company is hard at work on the devices, which are planned to work with the Xbox One and Xbox 360.
This isn't the first time we've heard rumours about Microsoft's desire to enter the 3D virtual reality space. A couple of years ago, the company filed a range of patents that seemed to offer insight into what it had planned for the future of Xbox. At least a couple of these pertained to virtual reality technology.
We've reached out to Microsoft to see if it's prepared to confirm anything, but such a move would hardly be surprising. The Oculus Rift has been making waves for some time, with more and more developers expressing an interest in supporting it. Even Valve has teamed up with the developer, and the headset now integrates with SteamVR.
The real motivator for Microsoft, though, is like Sony's rumoured VR headset for PS4, which is reportedly already in the hands of developers ahead of an expected reveal at this week's GDC. We're on the ground at the conference, so as soon as we know more, we'll let you know.

Best VR Headset: Which one should you buy?
We look at the world of VR to help you decide which is the best VR headset for you.
Now that the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR are all finally here, it’s time to decide which headset to put your money on this Christmas or if you’re thinking about taking the plunge in 2017.
PC owners can choose between Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive – the most advanced headsets on the market. Both are seriously powerful devices, but they need equally powerful PCs to run.
For those unwilling, or unable, to drop the exorbitant amounts required to upgrade their PCs to a suitable specification, Playstation VR will cost you far less with only a PS4 console and PlayStation Camera required to get stuck in.
Those are the key contenders then, but which is the best VR headset?
Best VR Headset – When are they coming out?
All three headsets are out now, available at wildly different price points which we’ve listed below for your convenience.
Video: Watch Evan Kypreos unbox the Oculus Rift.
Best VR Headset – How much do they cost?
The HTC Vive is now on sale for £689 in the UK and $799 in the US , making it the most expensive headset available.
The Vive ships with two earbuds, a Vive Linkbox and two wireless controllers required to use the headset. In addition, you will also receive a trio of games that showcase the capabilities of Valve’s headset: Job Simulator: The 2050 Archives, Tilt Brush, and Fantastic Contraption.
Oculus Rift costs £499 in the UK, or $599 for US gamers . The initial purchase will bag you the headset with built-in headphones, mic, sensor, and a bundled Xbox One controller. There’s also a small remote with wrist strap to let you tweak volume and select options.
The Oculus Touch controllers, motion controllers that are designed for VR, won’t ship until later this year and cost extra.
Finally, Playstation VR currently retails for £350 in the UK and $399 in the US , making it the cheapest of the lot. However, this doesn’t include the Move camera, which is required, nor any Move controllers. These controllers aren’t required, however.
You can find PSVR in a selection of bundles complete with a few games, move controllers and a PS Camera, given you’re willing to shop around.
Best VR Headset – System Requirements.
Those eager to pick up Oculus Rift or HTC Vive will need a pretty beefy machine if they hope to run anything.

The HTC Vive recommends the following before you get started:
– Intel i5-4590 / AMD FX 8350 equivalent or greater.
– HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 or newer.
– 1x USB 2.0 or greater port.
– Windows 7 SP1 or newer.
Oculus recommends the below specs if you want to have the “full Oculus Rift experience”:
– Nvidia GTX 970/AMD 290 equivalent or better.
– Intel i5-4590 equivalent or better.
– 8GB RAM or more.
– HDMI 1.3 video output.
– 2x USB 3.0 ports.
– Windows 7 SP1 or newer.
You will also require a decent amount of space if you plan on dedicating yourself to VR, with the Vive in particular needing substantial space due to the two paddles.
If you aren’t familiar with PC gaming this probably sounds daunting, but you can read our Best Gaming PC: PC Building Guide for a full breakdown of how to build the perfect gaming PC.
In our experience so far, it’s best to have a PC that exceeds the minimum recommendations. For example, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti provides a much smoother, more reliable experience than the 970 recommended by both HTC and Oculus.
Playstation VR requires a PS4 console, Playstation Camera, and a couple of Move controllers for certain titles such as Job Simulator and Batman Arkham VR.
Best VR Headset – Design.
Oculus Rift has seen a number of iterations since its original design, and now feels more compact and accessible, with only a single 4-metre wire protruding from the left of the headset. Oculus has spent a lot of time refining the design, which now feels incredibly comfortable to wear, to the extent that keeping it on for hours won’t cause you any problems.
The Rift is decorated with discrete panels that effectively hide the inner workings, allowing you to customise it with the lenses you find most comfortable.
You can also adjust the interpupillary distance (IPD) of the optics, meaning you can change the headset display to accommodate the positioning of your eyes.
The HTC Vive has also been through several redesigns, and is now made to be more user-friendly and compact than ever before.
Players can fully customise the interchangeable foam inserts and nose gaskets to allow for all face shapes and glasses.
Each display has been significantly improved, offering higher clarity and resolution than the initial development kit.
In terms of new features, the HTC Vive now includes a front-facing camera, giving you the opportunity to interact with the outside world without removing the headset.
Playstation VR aims to imitate the sleek, black design made famous by Sony’s console with the addition of LED panels reminiscent of the Dualshock 4’s light bar.
Sony’s headset simply fits around your head instead of using an adjustable strap, and feels a little tighter as a result. This is still adjustable, but may require a little bit of fine-tuning.
Much like the Rift and Vive, you can tweak the headset lenses to ensure they’re perfectly positioned for your own eyesight.
Best VR Headset – Specs Comparison.
The Oculus Rift features an OLED dual-display supporting a 2,160 x 1,200 at an impressive 90Hz. Such a display allows for rapid head movement with no blurring.
You will be able to play a variety of Oculus games using the headset and an Xbox One controller, which come bundled with each unit.
The Rift also sports an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and 360-degree positional tracking capabilities. When combined these are used to constantly track your head movements across all software.
HTC Vive also features an OLED display capable of running at the same 2,160 x 1,200 resolution and 90Hz.
There’s also a built-in front-facing camera which can add outside world elements into a VR setting.
The Vive is littered with sensors which are monitored by what the company calls Lighthouse base stations. The base stations emit lasers that track your movements and the controllers in your hands. This way your position can be tracked within a 15×15 foot space.
In a nutshell, this will let you walk around and interact with the virtual world, something which no other VR headset currently offers.
However, Oculus’ Head of Worldwide studios, Jason Rubin, recently revealed the Oculus is also capable of room-scaling. Talking to Polygon, he said: “We have the tech ability to provide room scale. Our tech doesn’t preclude that. At some point we’ll demo that.
“We don’t believe that the consumer has the space in general. Has the commercial viable space of the 15-by-15 foot square.”
Could we see whole-body, Vive-like movement tracking on the Oculus Rift in the future? If Rubin’s words are anything to go by, it seems highly likely.
Playstation VR is easily the weakest of the three, and Sony isn’t afraid to admit that, saying that Oculus Rift provides a “better” virtual reality experience.
Sony’s headset operates at a 1,920 x RGB x 1,080 resolution on a 5.7-inch screen split across both eyes. However, it also runs at an impressive 120Hz, compared to the Rift and Vive’s 90Hz.
You can also use Playstation VR’s cinematic mode to play all PS4 games with three levels of zoom, and can be used to watch Netflix and Amazon Instant Video.
Essentially, Sony’s headset isn’t as powerful as the Rift or Vive, but should be more convenient for existing PS4 owners.
Best VR Headset – Controllers.
Those interested in Oculus Rift will have two distinct types of controller input: Oculus Touch and traditional gamepads.
The Oculus Touch controllers won’t be available until later in 2016, but aim to give you the feeling that your hands are actually in the game.
In the mean time, Oculus recently partnered with Microsoft, so all Oculus Rift units come bundled with an Xbox One controller, making it easier to jump into games once you’re set up.
As a result of this partnership, the Rift natively supports Windows 10. Plus, you’ll be able to stream Xbox One titles to your Oculus Rift in a virtual living environment.
The Oculus Touch controllers sport a “half-moon” design which places the analogue sticks under your thumbs and triggers under your forefingers and middle fingers. All of these contain pressure sensors that monitor your presence even when you aren’t pressing anything.
By squeezing the triggers you can make a fist, letting you pick up objects in the game world.
It’s a fantastic addition for immersive VR, and we’re more than impressed with the outcome.
The HTC Vive controllers are somewhat similar to the Oculus Touch, but are now completely wireless and rechargeable.
Each pad is fitted with textured buttons and grip pads that all support haptic feedback. This makes interaction in virtual worlds far more natural and easier to perform.
The controllers are bent at a 45-degree angle so they naturally curve around your palms, placing all buttons and gestures within immediate reach. Underneath your thumb is an adapted version of the haptic feedback found in Valve’s Steam Controller.
Unlike the Oculus Touch, the Vive’s controllers come with the headset so you can start using them as soon as you get your hands on HTC’s device.
Playstation VR supports the Dualshock 4 and Playstation Move peripherals. The Move Batons were of an attempt by Sony to develop a motion-control system which, until PSVR, seemed somewhat unsuccesful. Using the batons will allow you to control things using gestures. You don’t need them to use PSVR but they have certainly proven to make the experience more immersive.
Best VR Headset – Sound.
The HTC Vive will let you plug in a pair of headphones using the jack found on the headset, giving you plenty of freedom to experiment. Otherwise, the headset features full 3D audio, which has been refined over the various iterations.
Oculus Rift features an integrated VR audio system engineered to give you an increased sense of space and depth. Headphones are mounted on the side of the headset, making for easy movement and customisation.
The headphones themselves don’t look too impressive, but provide clear, immersive audio for VR. You can also use your own headphones too, if that’s your style.
Playstation VR boasts 360 degrees of immersive audio using 3D audio technology, and, much like the Dualshock 4, will provide support for a number of audio peripherals.
Best VR Headset – Games.
A number of games, both multiplatform and exclusive, have been announced for all three devices.
Oculus has invested $10 million dollars into indie game development to create more unique titles. Studios such as Harmonix and Insomniac Games are already working on exclusive games for the headset, so expect them in the near future.
Below you can find just a few of the games available on Oculus Rift:
Chronos – an atmospheric RPG from Gunfire Games Edge of Nowhere – an Arctic survival game from Insomniac Games Eve Valkyrie – the flagship Oculus Rift title from CCP Damaged Core – a futuristic first-person shooter from High Voltage VR Sports Challenge – exactly what it sounds like from Sanzaru Games Esper – a puzzle game set in 1975 from Coatsink AirMechVR – bringing tabletop warfare to life by Carbon Games Lucky’s Tale – a colourful platforming adventure by Playful Corp.
You can check out a more extensive list here, including 30 of the launch games.
The HTC Vive launched with a variety of intriguing tech demos and small titles aiming to show what the device is capable of while also giving indie devs a chance to strut their stuff.
Elite Dangerous was made available as a launch title for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, coming as a free update to existing players.
Cloudhead Games’ The Gallery: Call of Darkseed is one of the launch titles for HTC Vive. The fantasy-adventure game follows a reclusive protagonist on a dangerous quest to obtain an ancient device called The Machine.
The Vive also comes with a trio of free games that showcase the capabilities of Valve’s headset: Job Simulator: The 2050 Archives, Tilt Brush, and Fantastic Contraption.
Playstation VR also had a wide selection of interesting titles at launch. The company has confirmed that over 230 developers are signed up to develop games for VR. Tekken 7, Gran Turismo Sport, and Resident Evil 7 are just some of the games on the way.
PlayStation VR has seen a range of fun titles since launching earlier this year, with more to come before the end of 2016. Some of the highlights include Batman Arkham VR, Rez Infinite and Robinson: The Journey. You also have the likes of Farpoint and Resident Evil 7 to come in 2017.
Best VR Headset – Summary.
As it stands, you can’t go wrong with any of the three major headsets. All of them offer an impressively immersive experience regardless of price, with exclusive titles aplenty to show off to your friends and family.
Below we’ve included a few short snippets from our individual reviews of each headset, to give you an idea of what we thought after weeks of rigorous testing.
PlayStation VR Verdict:
“PlayStation VR is simply the best virtual reality headset you can buy right now. It’s cheap while not compromising on performance and quality. The headset is simply stunning and incredibly comfortable to wear, and the games already available are some of the best VR experiences I’ve ever played.”
“The Oculus Rift is a triumph for every tech head – this isn’t just a step towards the future, it is an almighty leap. It’s by no means perfect, but it’s already fulfilling a healthy fraction of its ultimate potential.”
HTC Vive Verdict:
“The HTC Vive’s far more immersive than the Oculus Rift – so much so that you forgive the pixelated screen and irritating software foibles. But if you plan to immerse yourself in a virtual world while sitting down, the Rift makes a lot more sense. It’s not as impressive, but it still offers a fantastic experience, if you can avoid the games that might make you reach for a bucket.”
