Video games weren’t a big part of Oculus’s Connect 4 event today in San Jose. They took a backseat to things like the new standalone Oculus Go headset and the Rift Core 2.0‘s new user interface software.
But the virtual reality company did reveal some new games and updates coming to Oculus devices. We’re included a roundup of the announcements below.
