Elite: Dangerous doesn’t officially support Oculus Rift, focuses on SteamVR instead

Developers are taking sides in the battle for virtual reality dominance.

Frontier Developments, the studio behind the acclaimed space exploration game Elite: Dangerous, tells Eurogamer that it’s focusing on Valve’s SteamVR platform — which powers the HTC Vive headset — over Oculus Rift. That means PC gamers can’t expect Elite: Dangerous to work with the Oculus Rift when the consumer version of the headset launches on March 28, and it might mean more sales for the Vive.
