Oculus VR content will be forwards-compatible with new Rifts

Oculus doesn’t want to deter developers by making their games and content obsolete when the next version of Rift comes out. So today at the Oculus Connect 5 conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that “Future versions of our product are going to be compatible with the old ones. All of the content that works for Rifts is going to work on the next version.”

This ties into Zuckerberg’s prediction that the VR industry needs about 10 million users on any given hardware platform in order to drive enough sales for content creation to be sustainable.

That next version of the Rift will be called Quest and will come out in the Spring. It’s shipping with Touch controllers and there will be over 50 titles available at launch.
