When the Oculus Rift came out in March this year, there seemed to be something missing from them. That something missing? Why, controllers of course! Motion controllers at that, which came automatically with the HTC Vive. That something missing, is soon to be missing no more – with the announcement of the Oculus Touch controllers pricing and release date…the pricing will be $199. As well as the extra motion sensor that you will require costing another $79.
These additions will be coming just in time for Christmas this year. being released on December 6th, and they will be available for pre-order on Monday October 10th and according to a trailer they released yesterday, there will be 35 games ready to play with it. Check out the trailer below.
