Miss out on last week’s open beta for Oculus Studios and Force Field VR’s Landfall? Worry not; there’s another chance to play it this weekend. Force Field has put the game back up on the Oculus Store for download after taking in feedback from last week’s testing. Over on Reddit the developer noted that the...
The Oculus Rift comes with a lot of extra accessories and, nearly a year on from launch, we could forgive you if you’d broken or lost one or two of them. But, don’t worry, you can now replace them without buying a new Rift. Oculus has added a suite of new accessories available to purchase...
Launching originally for PlayStation VR, Robinson: The Journey was carefully optimized and tweaked to ensure consistent performance across all PS4 systems. The recently released Rift version—despite lacking Touch support—fortunately puts control into PC players hands, allowing you to max out the visuals, if your computer can handle it.

Finally, one of the two major video streaming services available in VR will let you watch with your friends. Hulu has broken ground on social video viewing in VR with an update to their Gear VR app which lets up to three people watch regular and 360 videos together. Although it was promised way back...
Knockout League (2017) is a single-player, arcade-style boxing game that promises to get your heart pumping as you duck, block, and punch your way to victory. Harking back to NES classic Punch-Out!!

Robinson: The Journey, Crytek’s second VR title and former PSVR exclusive, has landed on the Oculus store. Priced at $40, the game unfortunately lacks support for Oculus’ Touch controllers, leaving players to use a gamepad to awkwardly facilitate the game’s many hand-based interactions. Robinson: The Journey launched on PSVR in early October, and it seems a...
Croteam did what Croteam does best and burst onto the VR scene last year with a surprise new game in the Serious Sam universe with Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope in Early Access and a port of the original Serious Sam, with added VR support and full locomotion, also in Early Access. Naturally, the studio’s...
