Back when it first launched in 2016, the Oculus Rift cost $600. That included the headset, a single IR sensor, and an Xbox One controller with a wireless PC adapter.

The Oculus Rift didn't arrive in finished form. The $600 original retail box only had the headset, one camera sensor-on-a-stick that needed to be plugged into a PC and... an Xbox controller.

Oculus Quest Will Have Perform Similar To PS3/Xbox 360 Earlier this week Oculus announced a new upcoming release that would form the final part of their ‘1st-generation’ VR headsets.

Carmack makes the point that most games of that generation targeted a 1280×720 resolution at 30 frames per second, and that the Quest has two 1280×1280 images per frame at 72fps. He also went on ...

While in VR, we’re hoping you can render at 1,280 × 1,280—twice for stereo—at 72 FPS, which is eight and a half times more pixels than you would have on an old [Xbox] 360 game.

With VR, the same image would be rendered at 1280 x 1280, twice, and at 72fps. That is, Carmack pointed out, 8.5 times as many pixels as an Xbox 360 game.

That doesn't mean the Quest, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, can generate VR scenes comparable to those seen in Xbox 360 or PS3 games, though.

The first of the high-powered virtual reality headsets, the Rift delivers 360-degree immersive experiences that have to be experienced to be believed. But the best is really yet to come.

Now you can expand your library of VR games with your favorite Xbox One titles, including Xbox 360 games that are playable on Xbox One," Oculus said.

You can now stream Xbox One games - including backwards compatible Xbox 360 games - onto Oculus Rift. Microsoft just announced this new feature as an update for the Xbox One Streaming app.
