Nearly 18 months after it was first announced as a feature, Oculus Rift owners will soon be able to stream Xbox One games directly to their virtual reality headsets. The feature arrives as a free update to the Oculus Rift PC app on December 12.

The feature won’t turn Xbox One games into VR experiences, but instead lets you play them in front of a huge virtual display inside the headset, similar to how Netflix currently works. Naturally, you need an Xbox One and a stack of games to get started, as well as an Oculus Rift headset connected to a Windows 10 PC.

Minimum network requirements aren’t stated, but it’s fair to say that the best experience will likely be over Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi. Users will also have the choice of viewing their virtual screen in one of three different environments:”Citadel,” “Retreat,” and “Dome.”
