Rock Band on Oculus Rift is happening

Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey took the stage at The Game Awards earlier tonight to announce a virtual reality version of Rock Band. Yep. He described standing on stage, looking out at the audience, and how great that is—but we're not actually sure how you play it in that context.

However Rock Band VR works, we can't help but be charmed by Luckey, with his signature shorts and sandals, in the announcement video above.

There's still no solid date on the Oculus Rift's release, but Luckey reiterated that it'll be out in Q1 2016.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
