There’s much we still don’t know about the Rift, Oculus’ flagship VR headset which is due to launch in Q1 2016. And while it’s tempting to think we might glean new details about the headset when Luckey takes to the stage on Thursday, it seems more likely—given the platform—that the announcement will be related to Rift content rather than hardware.

Oculus has been heavily focused on content lately, announcing content partnerships with Netflix, Hulu, Minecraft, and more at their ‘Connect’ developer conference this year.
