Oculus Rift can play Xbox One games starting next month

You don’t need to sit on your couch in your living room to play Xbox One games anymore. Now, you can enter virtual realty and sit on a digital couch in a digital living room to play Xbox One games.

Beginning December 12, Oculus Rift owners will have the option to stream Xbox One games from their console to the Oculus Rift using a new app from Microsoft. This does not put you inside of the games, but it will give you a way of playing them on a gigantic virtual screen. Anything that runs on your Xbox One, including Forza Horizon 3, Halo 5: Guardians, or backward-compatible Xbox 360 games, will run in the Rift, and you can use the wireless Xbox One controller that came with your Rift to control the games. The “Xbox One Streaming to Oculus Rift” app is a free download on the Xbox One app store.
