In contrast to PlayStation, Xbox hasn't made any concrete strikes within the VR area, and that is apparently as a result of it does not assume the viewers is there simply but.
There is a little bit of a debate available about how profitable VR is or just isn't at this cut-off date, and it looks like Xbox may also be a bit unsure about it too. In a latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Xbox Sport Studios head Matt Booty shared his ideas on VR, and the best way that Xbox is approaching the medium. “I believe for us, it’s only a little bit of wait till there’s an viewers there,” stated Booty. “We’re very lucky that we've got acquired these large IPs which have became ongoing franchises with large communities.

“We now have 10 video games which have achieved over 10 million gamers life-to-date, which is a fairly large accomplishment, however that’s the form of scale that we have to see success for the sport and it’s simply, it’s not fairly there but with AR, VR.” By the sounds of issues, Microsoft is on the lookout for that large of a playerbase to be achieved with a VR or AR title earlier than it strikes into the area.
In keeping with a report from The Verge earlier this yr, the Meta Quest 2 had apparently bought round 20 million items on the time, so with such a small person base, there is not a lot room for anyone recreation to have something near 10 million gamers. Whereas we haven't any figures since then, Sony shared in Could that the PSVR2 bought round 600,000 items throughout its first six weeks on sale, and predictions that it'll outsell Sony's first headset (the unique PSVR bought 5 million items by the top of 2019).
Xbox head Phil Spencer did say in 2019 that Xbox gamers weren't asking for VR, although did later categorical hope that the corporate will help it in some unspecified time in the future. Seeing as we're just a few years on from these feedback, I would not maintain my breath for an Xbox VR headset (they need to completely name it the Xbox 360 for the enjoyable of it, although).
