Not like PlayStation, Xbox hasn’t made any concrete strikes within the VR area, and that is apparently as a result of it would not suppose the viewers is there simply but.
There is a little bit of a debate available about how profitable VR is or is just not at this cut-off date, and it looks like Xbox may also be a bit unsure about it too. In a latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Xbox Recreation Studios head Matt Booty shared his ideas on VR, and the way in which that Xbox is approaching the medium. “I feel for us, it’s only a little bit of wait till there’s an viewers there,” mentioned Booty. “We’re very lucky that we now have bought these massive IPs which have become ongoing franchises with massive communities.

“We’ve 10 video games which have achieved over 10 million gamers life-to-date, which is a fairly large accomplishment, however that’s the sort of scale that we have to see success for the sport and it’s simply, it’s not fairly there but with AR, VR.” By the sounds of issues, Microsoft is on the lookout for that massive of a playerbase to be achieved with a VR or AR title earlier than it strikes into the area.
In response to a report from The Verge earlier this 12 months, the Meta Quest 2 had apparently offered round 20 million models on the time, so with such a small person base, there is not a lot room for anyone sport to have something near 10 million gamers. Whereas we have no figures since then, Sony shared in Might that the PSVR2 offered round 600,000 models throughout its first six weeks on sale, and predictions that it’s going to outsell Sony’s first headset (the unique PSVR offered 5 million models by the tip of 2019).
Xbox head Phil Spencer did say in 2019 that Xbox gamers weren’t asking for VR, although did later categorical hope that the corporate will help it sooner or later. Seeing as we’re a number of years on from these feedback, I would not maintain my breath for an Xbox VR headset (they need to completely name it the Xbox 360 for the enjoyable of it, although).
