Samsung isn’t selling the best Windows Mixed Reality headset in Europe

Samsung unveiled what looks like the best Windows Mixed Reality headset earlier this month. Samsung’s Odyssey headset differs from its rivals thanks to dual-OLED displays, a higher 1400 x 1600 resolution per eye, better 110-degree field-of-view, and built-in headphones. While it’s a clear Oculus Rift competitor, the company isn’t bringing its headset to Europe.

A Samsung spokesperson revealed to The Verge that the headset will be available in the US, but not Europe. It’s not clear why the company is not bringing the headset across the pond, and we’ve asked Samsung for more information. Samsung is planning to release its Windows Mixed Reality headset on November 6th in the US, priced at $499 with bundled motion controllers.

Microsoft’s range of Windows Mixed Reality headsets went on sale yesterday, with devices from Acer, Dell, HP, and Lenovo available initially. You can check out our Windows Mixed Reality guide for more information about the headsets, PC requirements, and app / game content.
