The Forest is one of Steam’s indie darlings that’s risen to popularity amidst the survival game craze. You’ve got to scavenge for supplies, build shelter, and find a way to survive on an island full of cannibalistic mutants. Sounds like a charming way to spend a Thursday afternoon.
I’ve been saying for a long time that more survival games need VR support. The Solus Project is a great example of how to do it correctly, so I’m extremely excited to see The Forest introducing official VR support as well. It’s still in early stages, but it’s an exciting prospect to try and survive in the harsh wilderness via the immersion of a VR headset.
We’ll be livestreaming The Forest in VR on PC using Rift with Touch starting in about an hour (which means we’ll begin at approximately 2:00PM PT) and aim to last for around an hour and a half or so. We’re going to use Restream to hit both YouTube and Twitch at the same time!
Embedded livestream coming soon
You can see our archived streams all in this one handy Livestream playlist over on the official UploadVR YouTube channel (which you should totally subscribe to by the way). We’re also rebooting our Twitch channel too.
Let us know which games you want us to livestream next and if you want to see more of The Forest VR in the future. Comment with any feedback down below!
