Samsung Gear VR Is Adding Xbox Controller Support

Those looking to use a controller with their Samsung Gear VR have had to settle for choosing between a myriad of third-party android controllers. Going forward however, that will no longer be an issue.

This I think is fantastic, it should allow Microsoft to get a rather reasonable presence into VR for lower price point, on a software and game pad hardware level. Gear VR is supported by Samsung of course and can access the Oculus online Store.

Making Xbox one controller support for the VR HMD is a real benefit. More game developers making Games may now include the game pad as a standard control mechanism.👍 👍 up for both

Realistically , it'd be great , VR or not, that smart phones support all Controllers/ Controllers support smart phones....
Would be SOOOOO good...

But, alas, its all about Licensing ect...

At least, this is a start.

👍 exactly, ironic thing is ever since Android 3.0 Bluetooth game pad support was built into the OS level of Android, as well as OTG support for wired Game pad support..

It's just many developers have not just outright supporting them..good thing is some big mobile publishers have, Rockstar Game's, game loft, a lot of Japanese MMO Android RPG games are now supporting them, it's now with VR just one more reference to game pad support on mobile..that's a good thing.

Ironic that XB1 controller support for Gear VR gets announced in the wake of the Trump debacle with Oculus.

LexHazard793540d ago

Im glad because the samsung controller sucks. Can't wait to use my Xbox One pad.

XXanderXX3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

Now all they need to do is allow all 3 HMD(Gears ,Vive, Oculus) to work with Xbox Scorpio at release .

Oh dear, Halo 6 with Oculus support on Xbox Scorpio ♏...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing36d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit36d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing36d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
