The Oculus Rift S is one of the most popular PC-powered VR headsets on the market. Inside the headset, there are two 1,280 x 1,440-pixel resolution LCD screens with 80Hz refresh rates capable of providing the user with a silky-smooth and crystal-clear VR experience. It also has internal tracking, meaning that a room doesn't need filling with external sensors to track movements. The Rift S comes with the necessary Oculus Touch controllers that utilise a mix of physical buttons and motion sensors to operate the Rift S.
If you’re looking to start using the Rift S, you’ll need a gaming PC with enough processing power - you can check the recommended specs below. So long as you’ve got this covered, the headset is going to give you access to the Oculus and SteamVR catalogues. Here, you’ll be able to access titles such as Trover Saves The Universe, Superhot VR, Beat Sabre and Half-Life: Alyx - a title we ranked among the best of 2020.
It's not just about games, though - the Rift S is going to act as your portal to new worlds and experience through other mediums, too. VR-specific short films are available, like Colosse and Allumette, along with tonnes of VR experiences - both free and paid for - including Google Earth VR and Within.
The Oculus Rift S is available for £299 (RRP £399) from Amazon UK and Oculus.
