Don’t expect VR gaming on the Xbox Series X — that’s a win for PS5

Don’t expect an Xbox Series X virtual reality headset any time soon as Xbox’s top brass Phil Spencer has again confirmed his skepticism of the technology in a recent interview. Alternatively, Sony seems very committed to VR, which could give the PS5 an edge over Microsoft’s console. 

Spencer has made some unfavorable comments about VR in the past. In 2019, he called the technology “isolating” and claimed that “nobody’s asking for VR” in the Xbox community, although he did slightly backtrack on these remarks later. However, a recent Wall Street Journal interview again confirms that VR isn’t seen as an area of interest for Xbox.
