Hands on: Acer Mixed Reality headset reviewĪt the same time it announced the rebranding, Microsoft also confirmed it will bring mixed reality to Xbox One, as well as its 4K Xbox One X console, which is set to release 7 November. But they also have a camera passthrough, which will provide the "mixed" reality in some instances. The headsets contain inside-out tracking, meaning you can walk around in VR without the need for external sensors. It's partnering with a bunch of companies including Acer, Lenovo and Dell to make headsets that can give people a VR experience for less money than the likes of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Microsoft announced its plans for Windows Holographic devices back in 2016, but it's now changed the name to Windows Mixed Reality.

You can check out our full explanation of Microsoft's mixed reality headsets, then head on for everything we know about its Xbox plans specifically. Microsoft has now confirmed that both its Xbox One S and premium Xbox One X console (previously Project Scorpio) will be brought into the Mixed Reality (previously Windows 10 VR) fold. With PS VR now out, Microsoft is on the backfoot when it comes to virtual reality - but something is coming, and soon. But it's not quite the Xbox One VR headset that many gamers are waiting for. HoloLens, Microsoft's futuristic AR helmet, has a bright future bringing mixed reality into the mainstream.
