Oculus Rift

Beginning 1/14/2020, we will officially stop supporting the Rift platform on Windows 7 and 8.1 to align with Microsoft’s announcement of ending support for Windows 7. As previously announced in June 2018, Windows 10 is now the minimum required operating system spec for the Rift platform and we encourage everyone who isn’t already running Windows 10 to upgrade. Windows 10 will enable us to deliver the best performance and latest advancements, while aligning with industry standards.

Note: The operating system specified in the table above may be updated as third-party software changes dictate. Certain experiences on Rift and Rift S require a computer system exceeding Oculus’ minimum or recommended specifications. Please refer to the recommended specifications for the Rift or Rift S experiences you intend to use.

If your computer doesn’t meet the minimum or recommended system specs:

• Upgrade the components you need to meet the minimum or recommended system specs
• Buy an Oculus Ready PC

Note: If you need help installing new components for your computer, try contacting a computer specialist.

Your Oculus Rift S uses USB 3.0 and DisplayPort connectors to connect to your computer. We've listed the different options that you can and can't use to connect your Rift S below:

Supported Connections

• DisplayPort Connection: You can connect your Oculus Rift S to any DisplayPort port that is directly connected to a discrete GPU.
• Mini DisplayPort Connection: You can connect your Oculus Rift S to any Mini DisplayPort port that is directly connected to a discrete GPU using the mDP → DP adapter included with your Rift S.

Unsupported Connections

• Mini DisplayPort Connection with third party adapter: Currently, the only mDP → DP adapter certified to work is the one provided with your Rift S. If other adapters are used, we cannot guarantee functionality or performance.
• HDMI Connection with third party adapter: Currently, there are no known adapters that will work from HDMI → DP. If this changes, we’ll update this article to include any supported adapters. Until then, we don't recommend trying to use Rift S with any PC or laptop that does not have a DisplayPort port or Mini DisplayPort port.
• USB Type-C Connection with third party adapter: Currently, we cannot make any recommendations for USB-C → DP. If this changes, we’ll update this article to include any supported adapters.
• In order to ensure basic functionality, any display port used to connect Rift S needs to be directly connected to a discrete GPU.

Service Process

If you have a problem with your Oculus device and you're not able to solve it by visiting the Support Center, try contacting Oculus Support to see if you need additional service.

If you’re looking for replacement parts and accessories, and your Oculus device is not eligible for warranty support, they are available for purchase here.

When contacting Oculus Support to determine if you need additional service, we will work closely with you to troubleshoot your issue and determine the appropriate service solution:

• If your device is not eligible for warranty support, Oculus Support will work with you to facilitate the appropriate out of warranty service solution.
• If your device is eligible for warranty support, Oculus may determine that your best option is a replacement. If that’s the case, here’s how the process works:
  1. We’ll send you a pre-paid return shipping label.
  2. Once you receive the pre-paid shipping label, send your Oculus device back to us following the instructions given to you by the Oculus Support team. Before you send your device, check to make sure you’ve included all of your components. If you forget to include a component, it could delay your replacement and cost you a fee.
  3. Once we receive your Oculus device, we’ll take a look at it to make sure it’s not working right.
  4. If it looks likes your Oculus device isn’t working right, we’ll go ahead and send you a replacement.

Components You Need to Send Back

If we think you need a replacement and your device is under warranty, you may need to send back your entire device bundle.

Please do not ship anything back until you've received final confirmation from your Oculus Support team member of exactly what needs to be returned.

• If instructions are not followed, this will cause a delay in the processing of your return.
• If any unauthorized items are sent to us, we will not be able to replace those for you.

If you are unsure of what you need to return, contact your Oculus Support team member for further details. If you do not have an open ticket with Oculus Support, contact us.

Getting Your Replacement

It usually takes about 8 to 12 business days from the time you ship your Oculus device back to us, we receive it and then send the replacement back to you.

Keep in mind shipping and delivery times may vary based on your region, holidays and weather conditions.

Once your Oculus device has shipped from the Oculus store, you won’t be able to change the shipping address.

We recommend checking to make sure your order information is correct before submitting it. Keep in mind Oculus isn't responsible for orders lost due to incorrect shipping details.

• Make sure your city, state, and zip codes all match and your address is spelled correctly.
• You've entered an address for a location with shipping restrictions.
• Some addresses that require handoff to local couriers or delivery by boat may not be eligible for delivery.

If you're sure the above does not apply to you and you're still experiencing issues with your shipping address, please contact Customer Support.
