In 2017, the VR industry was quite active, but it didn't meet everyone's expectations. Global headset sales didn't explode as anticipated. Oculus faced legal issues and internal disputes, while "CVE," a developer from EVE Online, ended their VR project. However, there were positive developments: VR headsets became more affordable, and several standout games emerged on the platform. The VR community in 2017 focused heavily on content, but for 2018, the attention is shifting toward hardware improvements. Valve’s SteamVR platform is set for upgrades, Oculus will launch the Oculus Go and the wireless Santa Cruz developer kit, Google is working on the WorldSense headset, and Xbox VR might also make an appearance. The 2018 VR landscape remains uncertain, but the anticipation of new innovations makes it exciting. Here are some key questions that need answers in 2018. What will be the 2018 VR game lineup? Earlier this year, we highlighted 55 VR games coming in 2018. These titles from both established and emerging developers show promise, but they still lack the big-name hits that captured the public's imagination last year, such as "Radiation 4VR" or "Resident Evil 7." Titles like "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim VR" and "Black City VR" were released in 2017, so we hope "Firewall: Zero Hour" and "Ada: The Raiders of Erda" can stand out. We also look forward to more AAA VR titles being announced in 2018. When will second-generation VR devices arrive? Oculus Rift and HTC Vive have been on the market for nearly two years, and while they still deliver top-tier experiences, they now feel somewhat outdated. Both rely on external tracking sensors, whereas newer devices from companies like Microsoft use built-in solutions. Additionally, advancements in VR optics suggest that updates are coming. However, next-gen devices won’t just be upgraded versions of Rift and Vive. In 2018, several standalone headsets will hit the market, offering convenience without the need for a PC. LG’s SteamVR headset will debut with a fresh approach, and Valve’s ongoing support for SteamVR will benefit all Vive users. The VR landscape is about to change significantly. When will Xbox One X support VR? This question was raised when the Xbox One X launched in 2017, but no official details have been shared yet. While the console offers a 4K gaming experience, it has remained quiet on its promised MR (mixed reality) content. If Microsoft confirms VR support this year, we hope to see more news about wireless VR devices compatible with the Xbox. Last year, Microsoft introduced an MR headset in collaboration with hardware partners, which suggests that future Xbox VR devices will use inside-out tracking. If PSVR doesn’t follow up, Sony could fall behind. Where is Google’s WorldSense? At the 2017 Google I/O conference, Google revealed plans for a new standalone VR headset developed with partners like HTC and Lenovo. This device will run on the Daydream platform and use “WorldSense” technology, enabling 6DOF tracking without external sensors. However, after the announcement, HTC focused on promoting the Vive Focus in China, and Lenovo’s project remains unclear. When will Google release this device, and how will it compete with other 6DOF headsets like the Pico Neo? These are questions consumers want answered in 2018. Can PSVR maintain its lead? Sony’s PSVR has sold over 2 million units and is considered a leader in the VR space. However, its tracking technology and screen resolution are somewhat outdated. It's uncertain whether Sony can keep its position in 2018, especially since a PS5 hasn’t been announced yet. While PSVR still has a clear advantage over the pricier Rift and Vive, new competitors like Xbox VR and independent headsets are emerging. Sony needs to continue delivering high-quality content and better controllers to stay ahead. The 2018 game lineup for PSVR looks strong, but without improved hardware, it may struggle to maintain its edge.
