German Media Markt site leaks Oculus Touch price and release date
The German Media Markt site showed the price of the Oculus Touch controller for some time: 199 euros. It also became clear from when the Oculus Touch controller will be available, namely from November 21, 2016.
The details have now been removed from the site, but VRTech managed to take a screenshot in time. It is unknown whether the details are correct. It is known that Oculus wants to release the Touch controllers this year, together with a total of thirty games specially developed for virtual reality. Twenty of those games are said to have been specially designed for the Oculus Touch.

Oculus wrote on its blog in early June that more Oculus titles should be released in the fall of this year. This includes well-known games that will receive a VR version, such as Serious Sam and The Climb.
The Touch controllers were shown at E3 in 2015. The two handsets, one for the left and one for the right, are mirror images of each other and have tracking technology all around. According to last year’s reporting, the controllers should also provide a ‘sense of substance’.
The controllers will weigh 127.6 grams and measure 114.3×96.5×104.1mm and are black. As it seems now, they cost 199 euros and will be available from November 21.
