Please release Half Life Alyx on Series X (please allow PC VR headsets to work on Series X)

Please allow PC VR headsets to work on Series X to play games like Alyx, Lone Echo, Beat Saber and Boneworks.

It would cost me 2 grand to build a PC capable of running Half Life Alyx at Ultra settings. Its honestly the greatest game Ive ever played even though I am playing it at low settings due to my gaming PC being two years old.

The Series X is capable of running Alyx at Ultra settings. Valve is open to releasing Half Life games on consoles (The Orange Box and Left4Dead are best sellers on consoles). It wouldnt take much for Series X to support Oculus, Vive and Windows Mixed Reality
VR Headsets.

The PS5 and PSVR2 will get Half Life Alyx but most likely running on medium settings. I will get a PS5 for this reason unless Xbox gets the game as well. The Series X would allow me to play the game at Ultra settings.

Thanks to Alyx’s success, Half Life 3 being a VR game is all but certain, and it may well be the biggest game of the generation. Microsoft will be missing out on two system sellers (and probably many others) if they sit on the sidelines for too long as they
did with touch screen smartphones and tablets.

Phil.spencer has been quoted a few times I think, stating v.r. isn't something they are looking at...

I reckon it's still a pretty niche market

I think this is a repeated theme, or is it dejavu

It's a repeat thread. He posted a nearly identical one about VR and Half Life Alyx.

I think we'll eventually see third party headsets work on the Series X. I love VR so I hope so.

I'm lead to believe Microsoft in conjunction with various other companies are rumoured to be working on a VR headset (not sure if it's for Series X or not) but who knows what the future holds for VR.

I think the main issue is that most Developers see it as a risky venture so console makers don't see a point in investing in such tech.

perhaps once it reaches it's full potential and we see what VR TRULY could be we'll see it come to Series X or a future console.

that would be pretty cool.
