Oculus Rift S PC VR Headset Set For GDC 2019 Reveal

An email sent to Oculus developers by Facebook suggests ‘Rift S’ will be formally revealed at GDC 2019.

UploadVR confirmed with multiple people the email mentions ‘Rift S’ alongside ‘Oculus Go’ and ‘Oculus Quest’. This suggests we should expect a formal announcement in the near future of the PC-based VR headset succeeding Oculus Rift.


And this all begins THIS MONDAY. Hopefully the rumor-mill will prove true this time.

Also note that Oculus is scheduled to be involved in at least 9 different sessions; you can get the full list of GDC here:

A new rumor just popped up:
Beat Saber is all but confirmed for Oculus Quest





Thought it was already 😮





Not confirmed. People were hoping and speculating. But today a video was leaked showing it. The new video popped up in the last 12 hours or so.

Does anyone think there is any chance at all that Rift S will be a "mode" for quest?

ie plug a DP or HDMI cable into quest and it enters Rift Static mode?
Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

Again - from the images floating around - no one saw any way to connect a cable like that to the device. Unless its a super last min addon - the answer is most likely no or not for this version at least. I be happy if that was the case though. It give Quest actually some really good value in terms of future proofing it self just a bit. Hands down then Quest would be a really amazing product - or even a CV1 replacement - but that also might be why it doesnt. They dont want to mucky the water with a device that can do both when they could have two different products for that.
