The Oculus Rift was a revolutionary piece of technology when it first burst onto the scene back in 2016. Its release was supposed to herald a whole new age of gaming; one where we would all be strapped into virtual worlds and could experience things that normal consoles couldn’t deliver.

Last weekend, Fortnite’s season 4 week 2 challenges leaked online, and it seems this weekend offers fans of the battle royale and survival game yet another look into the coming weeks’ various challenges.
