The reason why the Xbox One X doesn’t support VR
The Senior Director of product management and planning at Microsoft, Albert Penello, explained to curious users and gamers why the Xbox One X lacks virtual reality. Learning with the help of Kinect and the Wii, the team at Microsoft realized that only translating a typical game experience to virtual reality is not enough to build a winning strategy. While VR-specific features make things more exciting, the issue as a whole is very complex. This is why the company didn’t want to distract developers with this in 2017. However, we do believe that Microsoft will change this strategy and integrate VR directly into Windows 10 in the future. Focusing on catching up with the PlayStation 4 in terms of more titles Penello also admitted that Microsoft felt that it should focus on more typical titles in the company’s race to be able to catch up with the PlayStation 4 instead of placing its focus on something as complex and niched as the VR. Penello also suggested that the technology doesn’t have enough mainstream appeal for the moment, so it’s not worth focusing on just yet, saying that the audience for the tech is a small one for now. Of course, Penello didn’t mean Microsoft won’t ever bring VR to the Xbox One X. All he meant was that there is still a whole lot of experimenting around VR , and now is not the most appropriate moment for Microsoft to implement it in the Xbox One X. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
