The headset is capable of high definition 3D at 60 fps (maybe even 4K) and despite only having developer kits available, it already has several impressive experience available for the device. It has been stated in the past that the VR headset will be used for PC and mobile devices, but what about next-gen consoles?
According to the Rift’s inventor, Palmer Luckey, that is unlikely. Talking to TechRadar, Luckey said that the Oculus Rift won’t make an appearance on next-gen since the device is going to be continually upgraded and the nature of consoles is “too limited.” Luckey explained:
Luckey went on to explain that at the rate that mobile devices are growing and how far their processing power has come in the last few years, it won’t be long until they are more powerful than even the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
While this may disappoint those who were hoping to enjoy the Oculus Rift on their next-gen consoles there is some respite. All indications show that Sony is indeed working on their own virtual reality headset and it isn’t too hard to imagine Microsoft being on their tails. VR is about to come back in a big way and major publishers are unlikely to want to miss a bite at the cherry.
