Oculus announced the hiring of Scott on Twitter , saying that he's "building our 1st-party content team!" Oculus is the company behind the Oculus Rift, a VR headset, and was acquired by Facebook earlier this year for roughly $2 billion USD.Scott stepped down from his role at 343 Industries earlier this year "in order to be with his family," a Microsoft spokesperson said at the time. Scott's wife is Corrinne Yu, a former 343 Industries programmer who left the company late last year to join Naughty Dog in Southern California, where Oculus is located.Before joining Oculus, Scott was reportedly working in a remote role for 343 Industries as a visual design consultant, presumably on Halo for Xbox One. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, said earlier this year that Halo news is coming at E3 next month.
