Today Oculus announced the Oculus Rift S, which is basically the next generation of the popular VR headset.

The device will come this spring for $399, sporting improved optics with higher pixel density and increased comfort thanks to a design partnership with Lenovo (including better weight distribution and light blocking).

It includes the same integrated audio system from the Oculus Quest and Oculus Go, but still comes with an audio jack if you want to use your own.

While the Oculus Rift S uses the power of your PC to deliver its graphics and gameplay, another similarity with the Oculus Quest is the implementation of Oculus Insight, so it doesn’t need external sensors to do room-scale tracking.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
