When Microsoft revealed its Xbox One "Project Scorpio" console in 2016, the "high-end RV" was listed as one of the company's goals for its new hardware, something that would be made possible by the Xbox One X's higher performance compared with the Sony PS4 Pro.
Microsoft has abandoned its plans to integrate VR into XBOX One
At the time, Microsoft also partnered with Oculus, which at the time had an XBOX One controller with all Oculus Rift glasses, leaving fans speculating that Xbox One X would be compatible with Facebook's Oculus Rift glasses. After the launch of Microsoft's glasses, Windows Mixed Reality, those glasses were later thought to be the core of Microsoft's Xbox VR / Mixed Reality platform, although this no longer seems to be the case.
"PC is probably the best platform for more immersive VR and RM, " says Microsoft.
Microsoft has abandoned its plans to integrate VR (virtual reality) into Xbox One, and Xbox Marketing Director Mike Nichols has stated that Xbox "has no specific plan for Xbox consoles in virtual reality or mixed reality . " Later in that interview, Nichols admitted that "our perspective on this has been and continues to be that the PC is probably the best platform for a more immersive VR and RM."
This change in plans is probably due to the lukewarm reception that Sony VR glasses had with PlayStation RV on the PlayStation 4 console, which did not have the impact that the Japanese company nor the developers expected.
Going forward, Microsoft plans to focus "primarily on the experiences you would play on your TV, " an area where Xbox is behind Sony right now. Xbox One X is currently more powerful than PS4 Pro, supports 4K Blu Ray, FreeSync content, and offers an unprecedented backward compatibility mode, making Xbox One X the top console in several ways.
Now, Microsoft needs to solve this battle against PlayStation on the side of its own games. Will it succeed? Only time will tell.
