Oculus Go is Oculus’ surprise new standalone VR headset, offering three degrees of freedom head-tracking and control and launching early next year for $199. But what VR worlds will you be able to visit with it?
As explained during the Oculus Connect keynote today, Go will be ‘binary compatible’ with Gear VR, Oculus and Samsung’s mobile VR headset. That means projects being developed for Gear now will be able to support Go too. But it doesn’t sound like the entire Gear library is coming to Go. Instead, Oculus said that “the best” of the platform would be coming to Go on launch day.
Now we know at least some of what “the best” includes.
The new website for Go includes a glimpse of a handful of apps and games that will be appearing on the platform. Big names like Netflix, Land’s End and Dragon Front are all there, though there are a few omissions like Augmented Empire and others. That doesn’t mean they’re not coming, though.
The full list of what we know so far is below.
