quote:

Microsoft’s chief marketing officer of gaming Mike Nichols said that “we don’t have any plans specific to Xbox consoles in virtual reality or mixed reality.” Nichols goes on to say that the PC is “probably the best platform” for virtual and mixed reality, and that for the Xbox, “our focus is primarily on experiences you would play on your TV.”

This basically completes the slow decay of Microsoft’s console VR plans, at least for now. In 2016, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said that the upcoming Project Scorpio console would support “high-end VR” like that available on Windows PCs. Since Microsoft had previously partnered with Oculus to support Xbox controllers on the Oculus Rift, there was widespread speculation that Scorpio might work with the Rift as well.

This never happened, but later that year, Microsoft announced an entire line of VR headsets — and a few months after that, it said that mixed reality content would be coming to Xbox devices in 2018. However, at last year’s E3, Spencer was substantially less enthusiastic. He told Road to VR that although he was “long-term bullish” on VR, it wasn’t ready to come to Xbox yet, and the market was “years away.” Now, Nichols is barely even expressing interest in the platform.

Good, vr is lovely remakes of 10 year old games and dumb point and click shovelware. Call me back when there's actually good games the Xbox will be missing out on because of no vr.

atm vr shines for art games and installations. it’s expensive enough as it is that grants help for indie devs. I don’t know the details but I highly doubt MS console dev options are at all cheap or accessible

Feb 15, 2001

console Dev kits are like 20 grand I think but most of the tools run on PCs

the interesting bit isn’t that VR is a useless toy [because it is] it just further illustrates how microsoft is reducing investment in the xbox. the next few years will be them figuring out how to translate live revenue to people who use other platforms, game pass is the start of that

You can just Google .reg files to mitigate that.

GPO is supported reg hacks aren't, even though GPO is implemented via the registry, just putting arbitrary poo poo in there can and does break stuff. especially after major version updates

Setting the same registry key a group policy does is not going to break Windows. Just stay away from dumb "privacy hidden settings" tools.
