The Oculus Store welcomes five new Gear VR experiences (one game, four concepts) this week including the much anticipated AltspaceVR.
Cosmos Warfare has you fighting enemies in deep, dark space, while the concepts focus more on exploration and social. We’ll look at some of these more in depth later, but here’s a quick overview of what’s new for Gear VR.
