Oculus Rift S is a PC VR headset with a high-resolution display, Roomscale tracking with no external sensors and fully immersive Oculus Touch controllers.

You can make sure that your PC is ready to power the full Rift S experience by reviewing our recommended system specifications.

Your Oculus Rift S comes with:

• Oculus Rift S headset with attached USB 3.0 and DisplayPort cables
• Two Oculus Touch controllers
• Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter
• Two AA batteries (for the controllers)
• Reference guide
• Safety & warning manual

Oculus Rift S with Roomscale works best with a safe, unobstructed play area of at least 6.5 feet by 6.5 feet (2 meters by 2 meters).

Run the Oculus Compatibility Check Tool

Before you buy an Oculus Rift or Rift S, we recommend that you run the Oculus compatibility check tool. The compatibility check tool will help you make sure your computer can power the full Rift or Rift S experience.

To run the Rift and Rift S compatibility check tool:

1. Go to https://ocul.us/compat-tool to download the compatibility check tool.
2. Open the tool and click Start.

Check the Results

After running the compatibility check tool, you'll be able to see if your computer:

• Meets or exceeds the recommended system specifications: You should be able to power the full Rift or Rift S experience.
• Meets or exceeds the minimum system specs: You should be able to run the Rift or Rift S, but you may come across problems that we won’t be able to fix.
• Doesn’t meet the minimum system specs: You may not be able to run the Rift or Rift S at all. If you still decide to buy a Rift or Rift S, we won’t be held responsible if it doesn’t work on your computer.

Note: The Oculus Compatibility Tool doesn't guarantee compatibility with All-In-One PCs or Laptops.

If Your Computer Doesn’t Meet the Specifications

If you find out that your computer doesn’t meet the minimum or recommended system specs after running the compatibility check tool, you can:

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

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 you run the Oculus compatibility check tool and receive a message telling you that your PC computer doesn’t meet the system specifications needed to power the Oculus Rift or Rift S, you may need to upgrade your computer to make sure it has all of the required components below.

Keep in mind that if your computer doesn’t meet the minimum system specs, you may not be able to run the Rift or Rift S at all. If you still decide to buy a Rift or Rift S, we won’t be held responsible if it doesn’t work on your computer.

If your computer doesn’t meet the minimum or recommended system specs after running the compatibility check tool, you can:

• 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.

How do I know if my PC is compatible with Oculus Rift S?

The Oculus Compatibility Tool confirms on-board hardware specs like GPU, CPU and memory, but cannot detect functional configurations such as DisplayPorts or Mini DisplayPorts being directly connected to a discrete GPU. Once you have confirmed that your PC has either a DisplayPort port or Mini DisplayPort port, you can use the tool to check the remaining hardware specs for compatibility.

We also recommend reviewing our list of Oculus Ready Certified PCs when looking for a new Rift S compatible PC and/or laptop.

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, click here to contact us.

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.
