I thought Oculus SDK 1.0 and SteamVR SDK 1.0 were coming in final release of UE 4.11?

@Oculus Forums

We will communicate more when the plan here is final. I can’t make promises here, but I would expect 4.11 to ship with 0.8 support and for that to continue working in some form for at least a month after the first long-term supported 1.X Rift SDK becomes available. You will probably have to rebuild to add 1.X SDK support at that point, but I would expect the changes to be non-invasive.

We will share more detail as soon as we can. There is a good chance you will have to patch your 0.8-based engine with code from our 1.X-based Github repo as soon as the public SDK comes out. I would recommend planning for a quick turn-around when that happens.

Those were the responses directly from Oculus when I asked them about it. Kind of important for developers to be able to test their products that they are releasing “Day 1” against the released runtime. We will not have that capability unless the project is submitted to, and then approved by, FB/OR
