Oculus’ pre-E3 gaming showcase was a bigger deal than any of us expected. Oculus didn’t just show us the final Rift virtual reality headset for the first time. It revealed that it had partnered with Microsoft to ship every Rift with an Xbox One gamepad. And that if you already own an Xbox One, you can stream its games to the Rift through your PC (they’ll appear on a virtual big screen inside it). And that it’s also making a new motion controller called the Oculus Touch, which will be selling alongside the Rift.
