Of the three big names in the console industry, Xbox is the only one that has not yet dabbled too much with virtual reality. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed something with the new Xbox Series X headset that hints at the possibility of VR compatibility coming to Microsoft's line of consoles sooner rather than later.
In launching the new Xbox Wireless Headset, Microsoft may have accidentally teased with a future VR headset from Microsoft or compatibility with third-party VR headsets. Is Microsoft Working on a VR Headset? The critical and commercial reception of the new Xbox Wireless Headset has nothing been short of positive. The headset, which is positioned to compete with Sony's Pulse 3D Headset, does many of the things that its competitor can. However, one of its unlisted features might just be its most intriguing part yet.
According to IGN Italy's Giovanni Marelli, an error menu hints that Xbox is working on a new VR headset.
He claims that upon connecting the new Xbox Wireless Headphones to his Xbox Series X, he received an error message. The said error message reads, "the VR headset needs to be updated."
Of course, that's not a confirmation in any way. It could be just a coincidence or just a mere error. It could also just mean that Microsoft is working on making it compatible with other VR headsets. However, there is also the possibility that the exact wording means that Microsoft is working on their very own VR headset for their consoles, in particular, the Xbox Series X.
