This comes from Microsoft Flight Simulator forum user Cygnifick, who, upon looking at code leading upwardly to the upcoming VR closed beta, found some interesting wording.

We exercise know that Microsoft Flight Simulator is coming to Xbox, just not when. While the visitor has committed to bringing the plane simulation title to consoles, information technology currently is a PC-only game. And considering the corporeality of graphical horsepower and internet data needed to run a realistic existent-world feel, it's no surprise that Asobo Studio is working on the highest end machines start.

Microsoft's Xbox has been notably absent-minded from the virtual reality space, even as Sony continued to push button PlayStation VR in the previous generation of consoles. Nintendo besides launched a light VR feel with Nintendo Labo VR Kit on Switch.

But this isn't Xbox's first amour with VR. At E3 2016, Xbox main Phil Spencer did mention that the upcoming Xbox Ane X would feature VR back up. Two years later, those plans were dropped. And when asked about it on the Gamertag Radio Podcast in February, Spencer said "We're not going to exercise that. I understand certain people would want that, [but] we have to focus our efforts on the things nosotros're doing right at present. And the most precious resources that we have is the team and their power and I just take to focus on the things we're doing right now."

As for Sony, its experiment with VR hasn't been wildly successful. Of the 106 million PlayStation four's sold worldwide, a little less than 5% of users own a PSVR headset at 5 million. Nintendo's Labo VR, which uses the Switch plus a cardboard accessory, is more of a fun experience than a full blown headset. As Laptop Mag'due south editor in chief Sherri Smith noted, "the virtual experiences are legitimately fun. However, similar previous Labo Kits, the entertainment value is short."

VR's success has as well been muted on PC. Even on Steam, the largest PC digital marketplace, less than ii% of users have VR headsets.

As Facebook's Oculus VR headset is standing to make strides in all-in-ane VR experiences, and earned high marks in our Oculus Quest ii review, broad adoption remains to be seen. Or as publication News Opener put it: "the VR revolution has been 5 minutes away for viii years."
