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:

I can see all of the news being about the Quest I think. Including the reveal of the release date, the 20th.

That leaves F8 in May for the Rift S.



I hope the couple of announcements aren't Beat Bloody Saber & Oculus Quest. I'm hoping it will be about Oculus Quest & Rift S. They did say a couple of announcements didn't they?

I'm not sure what they're going to do tbh. You would have thought that a Rift S release is imminent because it's out of stock just about everywhere but we've got F8 on its way in May.

.the more I think about it, I'm starting to belief the rift s won't be release now but later this year. I hope I'm wrong.

Tracking looks solid on the Quest.

It's Facebook's developer conference. It's where the Oculus Go and Quest were first revealed.

So are they going to restock the current Rift if that's the case, or even mention why the stocks are limited? I think the least they could do is explain why stocks are limited just to give people a heads up. Anyways, I'll wait for the show to be over instead of saying this and that because there's still time.

The rumor has been reinforced several times at this point. Rift-S has a strong chance of making an appearance. It feels like more than just a rumor now.

I slept comfortably last night, and awoke to 7 pages  of "nothing new". Thanks for taking the watch guys. 😄

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.
