Microsoft is rumored to be exploring the world of virtual reality (VR) gaming, although the company has not made significant progress in this area compared to competitors like Sony and Nintendo. While there have been some recent patents filed by Microsoft related to VR technology, it remains unclear if these are intended for gaming or work purposes.
Sony’s PlayStation VR2 headset has reportedly sold 270,000 units in its first 40 months, suggesting a relatively strong launch. However, Microsoft might still be hesitant to enter the VR gaming market, as companies like Sony and Meta have experienced challenges in making VR gaming mainstream and profitable.
The filed patents by Microsoft include an “enhanced eye tracking system” and a “head-mounted display with eye-tracking system,” which could be potentially used for VR gaming. However, it is worth noting that patents don’t always lead to actual products.
Overall, it is unclear if Microsoft will eventually develop a dedicated VR gaming headset, as the current state of the industry may be discouraging the company from fully committing to this market.
