Oculus’ Touch motion controllers have been delayed until the second half of 2016, the company recently announced. “On the path to perfecting Touch, we’ve decided that we need more time before release,” reads a statement released this morning, noting that preorders will begin “a few months prior to launch.”
This won’t affect the availability of the Rift virtual reality headset, which is still supposed to ship in the first quarter of 2016.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
