Oculus announced its VR headset, the Oculus Rift, will launch at select retailers in the UK on September 20. The headset will be available at Amazon, GAME, Curry’s PC World, John Lewis and Harrods.
Due to the drop in value of the British Pound following the Brexit vote, Oculus has raised the price from £500 to £549.
Oculus Rift also launches in Europe and Canada on September 20.
