When Microsoft announced the Xbox One X a few years ago, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer then said it would support VR headsets — a first for the ecosystem. Fast forward a short while, and those plans were totally shelved. Xbox has repeatedly said that it has no plans to chase VR in the future, either.
Microsoft has had a weird relationship with virtual reality and augmented reality. It was all CEO Satya Nadella seemed to talk about during the pandemic, "metaverse this," and "metaverse that." Again, fast forward a short while, and the big tech fad faded almost as fast as NFTs. Microsoft's much hyped AR headset, HoloLens, is now practically dead.
