Nate Mitchell interview — How Oculus is staying the course in greenlighting VR games

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in 2016 that the social network had invested $250 million in virtual reality apps and games for the Oculus Rift VR headset, and it was going to put a lot more into it. And it’s clear that at the Oculus Connect 5 event, the social network continues to pour money into VR titles.

Nate Mitchell, cofounder of Oculus VR and still an exec at Oculus, said in an interview with GamesBeat that the company continues to see the point of stoking VR to establish the market for the long run. The latest games on display at the event in San Jose, California this week are oriented toward social and multiplayer experiences, Mitchell said.
