The Oculus Rift comes with the headset itself, a tracking camera, Xbox One controller, Oculus Remote, and two bundled games: Eve Valkyrie & Lucky’s Tale. The company will ship its Oculus Rift consumer edition gaming headset on time in Q1, with preorders launching very soon. The pre-order is priced at $600 and will begin shipping on March 28th.

Oculus has announced, via its official blog, that it will be opening up pre-orders for the Oculus Rift starting on Wednesday.

While Oculus “Rift” – a Virtual Reality (VR) device – is set for a launch in the first quarter of this year, Facebook has chose to delay the launch of touch controllers till later in 2016, according IANS. Developers have been doing some great things with it in the early going, and it’ll only get better once the consumer launch hits. Oculus said its Oculus Studios will roll out over 20 games for the device this year, including a version of the music game Rock Band.

The Rift will require a desktop computer to run high-definition videogame graphics.
