VR gaming has revolutionized the way we play computer games by offering a truly immersive first-person view of game action. However, Xbox owners have often wondered if they can connect their VR headset to Xbox. The good news is that you can connect a VR headset to Xbox.
The PlayStation VR, Oculus Quest, and Oculus Rift work with Xbox One. You can cast Oculus Quest to Xbox One with the Air Server app, and with the Xbox One streaming app, you can play Xbox One games directly on your Oculus Rift. However, at the time of writing this post, the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles do not officially support any VR headset.
In 2021, Microsoft debunked a rumor that an update for the VR headset is available, and when users plug in Microsoft’s Xbox wireless headset to a console, the tech giant called it a translation error. So, while it might be possible to pair the Oculus Quest 2 to Xbox One or Xbox Series S, it is not officially supported.
Moreover, 95% of the games on your quest won’t work with your Xbox controller. If you’re interested in using PlayStation VR with Xbox One, it is compatible, but it will display an HD video source in cinema style mode. You may not get a cutting-edge experience, but it feels more like playing a game in front of a massive lounge room TV.
In conclusion, you can connect some VR headsets to Xbox One, but it’s not officially supported on Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. If you’re interested in VR gaming, it’s worth considering other options for now. We hope Microsoft will officially support VR in the future, but until then, happy gaming!
