The Oculus Rift S VR is the bestseller in PC Virtual Reality Gaming Headsets on Amazon
While some gaming headsets are standalone, the Oculus Rift VR headset needs to be plugged into a PC to work. But when it does, it promises to offer superior ‘out of this world’ experiences.
The VR gaming headset features a Oculus VR library filled with hundreds of games and different worlds for you to explore from the comfort of your own home.
Once locked in and loaded, the headset takes you straight into the heart of the action with stunning graphics, precise tracking and intense audio. This is largely thanks to the next generation optics and the sharpest lenses for top quality VR and a smoother gameplay.
The Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset is a hugely popular buy. In fact, it’s so sought-after that it’s the number one bestselling product in PC Virtual Reality Headsets on Amazon.
So far it’s amassed over 10,000 ratings on Amazon and an impressive average score of 4.4 out of 5. Shoppers have piled on the praise for the headset, commenting on how they are ‘blown away with how good it actually is’.
Fans of the original Rift have been impressed by the upgrades, especially the insight tracking to translate your movements without external sensors, as well as updated Oculus Touch controllers for better interaction.
‘Excellent headset,’ raved one shopper. ‘Coming from the original rift I can tell the Rift S has far sharper image quality, the lenses are a huge improvement with a much bigger sweet spot and cause less distortion and warping in the VR world as you move your head from side to side. The headset was a breeze to set up and so far the tracking seems to work flawlessly, very happy!’

The Oculus Rift S has also been a hit among those who have never had a VR headset before, with many praising the simple setup and ‘incredible’ gameplay.
‘This is my first time in VR and its truly amazing,’ penned one shopper. ‘I got it to play Elite Dangerous ( and other games ) and I just couldn’t believe it, truly outstanding.
‘I did get a bit of vertigo and travel sickness but slowly got used to it 1/2 hour game time 1 hour break and now i can do longer sessions. I will say this I love I love it I love it.’
Another added: ‘Brought this as my first step into PC powered VR, honestly no complaints. Looks amazing, fits snugly, so much fun! Went for this headset as I don’t have the space to set up the trackers other headsets require.
‘The built in camera tracking works amazingly, I can bring my controllers right up to my face and swing around quite happily.’
It is worth noting that to showcase its stunning graphics and breathtaking gameplay, the Oculus Rift S does require substantial power from a PC, and it is recommended that your graphics card has at least 6GB of dedicated video memory, your CPU has at least 4 cores, and you’re running over 8gb of RAM.
