A new report from GameSpot sister site CNET goes into depth about Microsoft's plans for an Xbox virtual reality headset that ultimately never got off the ground. "Early briefs" on the headset suggested the headset was to be a traditionally designed competitor to Sony's PlayStation VR instead of something new and completely groundbreaking. The screen quality was considered "good," according to the report, but not on the same level as Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.

Microsoft's plans for an Xbox VR headset are now reportedly on hold. Why did Microsoft pause it's VR plans? Sources inside Microsoft told CNET that the company is waiting until it can release a trailblazing piece of technology that is "sleeker" and possibly wireless.
