‘Oculus Ready’ PCs To Ship At Under $1,000
Oculus has announced a partner program that will enable end-users to ensure that a new PC will work with Oculus Rift. Asus, Dell, and Alienware are all slated to participate.
The head-mounted display will ship in first quarter 2016, though no release date or price has been confirmed. Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe has said multiple times, including to us, that buying a PC from a retailer with a retail Rift should cost users less than $1,500.
The partners will offer compatible hardware at a variety of price points that meet the minimum specifications. These will start at under $1,000 and will come with the option to bundle in a Rift.
Oculus also revealed new titles that are scheduled to ship next year for the first consumer Rift. These include The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Defense Grid II, and Gang Beasts. You can see the full list of previously and newly announced games above. In addition, Oculus and Mojang announced the Minecraft will be available on the Rift.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
