Expect A “Special Announcement” For Oculus Rift At The Game Awards 2015 Later This Week

But beyond software, there will also be a "special announcement" reserved for hardware - specifically, the Oculus Rift. Due to release in Q1 2016, early signs point to Oculus and co-founder Palmer Luckey finally unveiling a price for the head-mounted VR device, though we'll hedge our bets until the lights go down on Thursday.

But beyond software, there will also be a “special announcement” reserved for hardware – specifically, the Oculus Rift. Due to release in Q1 2016, early signs point to Oculus and co-founder Palmer Luckey finally unveiling a price for the head-mounted VR device, though we’ll hedge our bets until the lights go down on Thursday.

Word comes by way of Geoff Keighley’s Twitter, where the host showcased a teaser video for The Game Awards 2015, detailing some of the announcements viewers can expect in only a couple of days’ time.

Will Oculus Rift get a price? A release date? Or possibly both? All will hopefully be revealed when The Game Awards 2015 take place on Thursday, December 3, starting at 6 PM PST / 9 PM EST. The event can be streamed across PSN, Xbox Live and Twitch.
