At its pre-E3 press conference today, Oculus announced a partnership with Microsoft.
Brendan Iribe, Oculus VR, CEO stressed the importance of shipping the Oculus Rift with a gamepad, and revealed that every headset will come bundled with a wireless Xbox One controller and adaptor.
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer took the stage to elaborate on the partnership: “The opportunity for us to bring our wireless controller, the one that we’ve spent so many years refining, to every Oculus user at launch is incredibly exciting for us.
“The Rift will natively work with Windows 10. And we all know that VR experiences require the highest performance, and with Direct X 12, we believe we’ll be able to create state of the art virtual reality experiences on top of Windows.”
But it won't just be compatible with PC. Spencer revealed, "People will be able to stream their Xbox One games to Oculus Rift," with specific titles like Halo, Sunset Overdrive, and Forza all mentioned as being compatible.
Oculus Rift is slated for release in Q1 2016.
