The Biggest Oculus, SteamVR and Windows Releases Of The Week 11/12/17

The Biggest Oculus, SteamVR and Windows Releases Of The Week 11/12/17

Lots to get through this week! If you’ve got a Windows VR headset, you can finally get into SteamVR through the launch of the public beta. Elsewhere, there’s plenty of big releases on both the Rift and Vive, so there’s no need to be jealous of PSVR owners tucking into Skyrim VR today (okay, you can be a bit jealous).

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. We also have a top list of the absolute best Oculus Rift and HTC Vive games at the corresponding links.

The Big Releases

From Other Suns, from Gunfire Games
Price: $29.99 (Rift)

The developers of Chronos return with an ambitious sci-fi adventure. Up to three players can team up to try and make their way back to Earth by jumping from system-to-system. Each time you jump you’ll risk encountering aggressive pirates and may have to board other ships to save people or blow them up Star Trek: Bridge Crew-style. It’s a lot of fun, but has its fair share of issues too.

Sparc, from CCP Games
Price: $19.99 (Rift, Vive)

CCP Games virtual eSport makes the move from PlayStation VR (PSVR) to Rift and Vive. Set in a distant future, you compete in physical tournaments, trying to hit other players with throwable orbs while also making sure not to get hit yourself. It’s a great physical VR game and cross-play support hopefully means finding a match will be easy too.

Coco VR, from Magnopus
Price: Free (Rift)

Pixar’s latest movie gets a unique social VR app with cross-play between Rift and Gear VR. Step into the world of the movie, meet some of its new characters, create your own avatar and then take part in minigames and activities. Best of all it’s free. Can’t argue with that, right? We loved it when we tried it earlier this week.

Payday 2 Beta, from Overkill
Price: $19.99 (Vive, free for previous owners)

For Payday 2 owners new and old, you can now access the beta branch of the game to play the online bank heist simulator in VR. It’s early, but this version supports cross-play with the traditional version and allows for realistic aiming with the Vive controllers and more. Full support is coming in 2018. We’ll have impressions next week.

Killing Floor: Incursion, from Tripwire Interactive
Price: $39.99 (Vive)

Previously released on Rift, Killing Floor comes to Vive with a new survival mode. Take two guns in hand and fend off waves of demonic monsters. Co-op play is include as-is a full narrative campaign. Not for the faint of heart to say the least.
