Oculus VR revealed a partnership with Microsoft Thursday that will see the consumer version of virtual reality company's headset work with the Xbox One gaming console.

The Rift's unveiling took place in San Francisco, where Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe said owners will be able to stream "Halo," "EVE: Valkyrie" and other Xbox One titles into the headset, according to The Globe and Mail.

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey announced that the Rift will come with hand controllers that will let players interact with games with their hands, such as pulling a trigger on a virtual gun or communicating with other players with gestures.

"One of the first things people do is they reach out into this virtual world," Luckey said. "We wanted to create an input device that allows people to reach out."

Features of the Rift include two OLED screens, removable headphones and an adjustable slider that lets users adjust the distance between the eye lenses for faces of different sizes, TechCrunch reported. Users can also wear the headset with their eyeglasses on.

Oculus's partnership with Microsoft marks the first time that the Rift was given a controller, as users previously had to rely on alternatives to third-party controllers.

Iribe said at the unveiling that the goal for Oculus is to change the way people play video games and "experience entertainment," TechCrunch reported.

"We set out to finally deliver on the dream of virtual reality," he said, adding that while 2D screens kept people from enjoying digital experiences, his headset will let users "cross that threshold. It lets us experience anything, anywhere."

The new deal follows over a year after social networking giant Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion.

Iribe added that the Rift will also work with Microsoft's Windows 10 while also hinting that "there is a lot more to come" with the new partnership, The Globe and Mail reported.

The price of the Rift has yet to be revealed, but virtual reality fans will be able to pre-order the headset later this year and receive it in early 2016.

Oculus will reveal more details about the Rift at next week's E3 conference in Los Angeles, where people will have a chance to try the headset on for themselves.
