It’s official: Oculus Rift is finally getting a consumer version, in the first quarter of 2016.
According to a post by Oculus Rift today, the new headset will build on the current Crescent Bay prototype that features 3D spatial audio.
The company hasn’t detailed anything beyond the release window, such as price, what it’ll look like or what capabilities it’ll actually ship with.
The news that Oculus is finally shipping a consumer version is exciting for gamers, many of whom have purchased the developer kits to try for themselves ahead of the consumer release because the company previously didn’t provide any hint of when it might land.
