It’s been two years since Rift made the leap from dev kits to consumer headset, and we’ve got a lot to celebrate. VR gaming is breaking new ground, the player community continues to grow, and the combination of cross-platform play and affordable standalone hardware on the horizon promises to nudge VR ever-closer to the mainstream. To spread the love, we’re announcing new games, some exciting updates, and multiple promotions.

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files Is Coming to Rift!

We’re excited to share that the title UploadVR called “a tantalizing tease” of gaming’s future will make its debut on Rift tomorrow, March 29!

Interrogate suspects face-to-face, reload and fire weapons with your own hands, drive period-specific vehicles and explore eight square miles of meticulously recreated 1940s Los Angeles. We’ll have more to share when the game launches tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Rift Rewards: Custom Trophies for Oculus Home

We’ve come a long way since the Kickstarter days, and we want to celebrate the members of the Rift community—especially those who have been here since the beginning. Starting later today, we’re rolling out special edition trophies for people who pre-ordered Rift and/or Touch, as well as both DK1 and DK2 backers. Show off your VR street cred in your Oculus Home. You’ll find them in the Achievements section of your inventory.
