Oculus Rift On A Mac?

Hoping To Use Oculus Rift On A Mac? You Might Be Waiting Awhile…

Jason Brouwmeester | March 5, 2016



With the Oculus Rift virtual reality system launch just around the corner, Mac users are finding themselves out of luck — and according to Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey, the system might never gain Mac computer support. Speaking with Shacknews, Luckey bluntly stated that Oculus Rift support depends entirely on Apple:

“That is up to Apple. If they ever release a good computer, we will do it.”

Oculus suspended Mac and Linux development last May in order to “focus on delivering a high quality consumer-level VR experience at launch across hardware, software, and content on Windows,” with Oculus Chief Architect Atman Binstock stating that they just “don’t have a timeline” for when Mac and/or Linux development will resume.
