Dev kits have reportedly already reached some developers

Rumors of a virtual reality (VR) headset for Microsoft’s Xbox One console first began to swirl in March — around the same time as Sony’s Project Morpheus announcement at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) — but almost ten months later we have yet to see such a head-mounted display (HMD) with our own eyes. However, with Xbox boss Phil Spencer, admitting time and again to “playing with virtual reality”, we can be certain of one thing: we are not dealing with a piece of vaporware here.
Well, going by recent reports from VRFocus and our sister site TechRadar, it seems that not only is the Xbox One VR headset real, it is at a fairly advanced stage of development as well. Apparently, the entire effort is so far along that some developers are already in possession of Xbox One headset dev kits. Meanwhile, Digitimes is reporting that its sources expect the company to showcase the rumored device, allegedly being developed by the Surface development team, at the E3 gaming convention in June.
