Elite: Dangerous developer Frontier has confirmed to Eurogamer that the firm will not officially support the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset any longer and is instead focussed on supporting SteamVR.
Frontier gave Eurogamer the following statement:
"We've supported VR for a few years now, and Elite Dangerous is arguably the world's leading VR-ready game. We want to give players the best possible VR experience however they play - it's something we talked about with Digital Foundry recently - and that means focusing our efforts. Right now, we've chosen to focus on SteamVR. We haven't cut an exclusivity deal with any VR manufacturer, and we're still working with Oculus on Rift support."
This means that the developer will not support Oculus Rift itself beyond the 0.6 SDK, which it has previously used to demo the title.
