Virtual reality is still a very small market in the gaming space, but it has slowly grown in recent years. Sony has released the PlayStation VR for the PlayStation 4 and is working on a new virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 5.
Microsoft has so far not released a VR headset on Xbox consoles, but that might change in the future. Microsoft released a new Xbox Wireless Headset and the peripheral has made reference to VR headsets, according to a report from IGN Italy.
When you plug in the new Xbox Wireless Headset with a USB-C / USB-A cable a message pops up that says "The VR headset needs to be updated." Another reference to VR is mentioned in two other messages: "An update for the VR headset is available" and "Update VR headset."
It is possible Microsoft plans to release their own VR headset on Xbox consoles or will add support for already released VR headsets like the HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus, Windows Mixed Reality.
