Oculus Rift Pre-Orders Begin January 6 At 8 A.M. Pacific
If you’re looking to get in on virtual reality’s ground floor, get ready. Oculus has announced that Rift pre-orders open in just two days.
Before you ask, no. The company still has not revealed how much you can expect to spend on the display. We do know that the Rift includes a tracking camera, Xbox One controller, and Xbox One wireless adapter.
Those that pre-order will get a copy of dogfighting action game EVE Valkyrie. Every Rift will come with the 3D platformer Lucky’s Tale.
You can pre-order your rift on Oculus’ website at 8 a.m. Pacific / 11 a.m. Eastern. For more on virtual reality, including the Oculus Rift, check out our January issue featuring 52-pages about the hardware and the games.

Our Take
It would be nice if we knew before pre-orders opened how much we’ll be asked to spend. I get that Oculus doesn’t want to tip its hand, but it’s about time we had this important information.
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.
Thank you.
