New Oculus Rift and Gear VR Releases For Week Of 11/06/16

While there aren’t necessarily any headlining releases for either the Oculus Rift or Gear VR this week, there are definitely a handful of games and apps we recommend you check out, including a VR adaptation of a scene from one of this year’s most emotional games.

If you missed last week, you can see those new releases here. And don’t forget that UploadVR has a Steam community group complete with a curated list of recommendations so that you don’t have to waste any money finding out what’s good in the world of VR.

That Dragon, Cancer: I’m Sorry Guys, It’s Not Good, from Numinous Games
Price: Free (Gear VR)

That Dragon, Cancer was an emotionally-charged PC game that launched earlier in the year, telling the developer’s story of their journey with their terminally ill son. At the time of release fans expressed interest in seeing the game in VR and, while this isn’t the full experience, you can now see one of its pivotal scenes with a Gear VR.

Recommendation: It’s not a light subject, but that’s the very reason you should check out this powerful experience.
