Two days ago, Attack of the Fanboy reported about a new and interesting addition to E3's official website. The Xbox One Virtual Reality tag has been added to the website. Since the inclusion of the Xbox VR tag, game development companies including Maximum Games, Rebellion and Readily Information Company have since registered under the recently added category.

There have been reports claiming that a few game companies would be unveiling their VR games for various consoles including the Xbox One during the upcoming E3.

For instance, Ars Technica recently spoke to a developer who confirmed the unveiling of a virtual reality game for Xbox One in two weeks during the conference. Ars Technica chose to withhold the specifics surrounding the developer and the VR game. However, according to the publication the VR game would be unveiled by a popular and well-known European company. It would be part of a long-running and successful franchise.

Moreover, Ars Technica claims that in line with the upcoming VR game, Microsoft might unveil an upgraded version of the Xbox One during this year's E3. The new Xbox console would be powerful enough to support the Oculus Rift.

This speculation seems to coincide with previous comments made by Oculus cofounder Palmer Luckey regarding console and VR gaming back in 2013. According to Luckey, the next couple of years would see huge advancement in gaming technology specifically in VR.

"Look at the VR hardware of today. I think the jump we're going to see in the next four or five years is going to be massive, and already VR is a very intensive thing, it requires rendering at high resolutions at over 60 frames a second in 3D" quipped Luckey as reported by Ars Technica.

The Microsoft/Oculus partnership is not completely unlikely. The two companies have already worked together in providing wireless Xbox One controllers in the first wave of Rift headsets.
