Happy New Year! The very first list of releases for the year doesn’t have a heavy roster, adding a handful of casual experiences and escape the room content. With the two highlights, though, we have games pushing into a newer format for VR and one potentially setting the bar for another. Visual novels have a...
You may have noticed if you’re a frequent visitor to the site that we didn’t publish any new PS VR releases for the week of 12/25/16. That’s because there actually just weren’t any. This week, there is technically new stuff — and an app we missed two weeks ago — but overall it’s slim pickings...
Sony’s PlayStation 4 continues to widen the gap between it and the Xbox One with a strong 2016. In a statement, the consumer electronics company announced that over 53 million PlayStation 4 consoles had been sold to date.

There are various mediums for creators of different kinds within the VR ecosystem and Visionary VR’s Mindshow is giving users a platform to create and share animated narratives through virtual reality.

Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Öz, better known by the simplified monicker, “Dr. Oz,” has quite the extensive resume.

Starting in Spring 2017, you’ll be able to pay a flat monthly fee for VR games using the Viveport digital distribution platform. HTC calls itself the first ever global app store to announce a subscription service for VR content. Announced at VRLA last summer, Viveport is somewhat of a parallel marketplace to Steam, featuring all-VR content across...
KwikVR, a wireless add-on kit for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, is going to beat TPCAST’s solution to market, but, if you’re desperate for untethered VR, you might want to hold on for the latter’s launch instead of jumping the gun early. Scalable Graphics, the cloud solutions company behind KwikVR, told me at CES this...
Owlchemy Labs, the trailblazing developers of Job Simulator, today announced its VR game available for Rift, Vive, and PlayStation VR has officially cleared $3 million in sales, the largest figure we’ve heard to date for PC-based VR. The Austin-based startup raised $5 million in August after developing a number of fundamental interaction technologies for its Vive-bundled...
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, NV is traditionally one of the largest tech events of the entire year and CES 2017 is no different.
