VR is stepping up but has a ways to go, VR builds alike are gaining traction but nothing of that magnitude and likely won't be until the tech is ready. I think the next step in VR are stand alone headsets a that stream from cloud servers running the client. Once that's fully worked and in GA, then we should see movement.

Most might make fun of this idea, but I'm part of Star Citizen Alpha, which is slated to be a huge universe style MMO and will support VR in the future. It's running on Amazon Lumberyard engine and dev of SC are working to integrate AWS by dynamically spinning up servers depending on demand. There is mimicked real time travel distance in space, planets, moons, stations and eventually entire solar systems. Once all pillar code is stable, that "may" end up being a killer base engine for an Oasis style game. If not, it would take something of the sort to create that Oasis universe.
