Last night, Sony finally announced the pricing and release date for PlayStation VR, with 50 games set to release for the headset this year alone. Now, Oculus has stepped in to reveal its entire launch library of games for the Rift headset, which begins shipping at the end of this month.
When the Oculus Rift launches on the 28th of March, there will be 30 games in total for you to pick up including games like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Project Cars, Elite Dangerous, and EVE Valkyrie. Each game comes with a ‘comfort' rating too, which lets users know how intense a game may get before buying it.
The full list of games include:
- ADR1FT
- Dreadhalls
- Radial G
- Adventure Time
- Elite Dangerous
- Rooms
- Airmech: Command
- Esper 2
- Shufflepack Cantina Deluxe
- Albino Lullaby
- EVE Valkyrie Founder's Pack
- Smashing the Battle
- Audio Arena
- Fly to KUMA
- Vanishing of Ethan Carter
- Project CARS
- EVE Gunjack
- Vektron Revenge
- Chronos
- Herobound SC
- VR Tennis Online
- Darknet
- Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
- Pinball FX2
- Dead Secret
- Lucky's Tale
- BlaseRush
- DefenseGrid 2
- Omega Agent
- Windlands
There is also a traffic light rating system. Red games are classed as intense and may be hard for some to stomach, yellow is a moderate comfort level that most should be fine with and green/comfortable games should be fine for everyone. Pricing for games ranges anywhere from $4.99 all the way up to $59.99 so there is quite a range here. There are at least 11 more announced games heading to the Rift this year as well so keep an eye out for that.
KitGuru Says: There will be quite a few games to pick up and try when the Rift launches this month by the looks of it. That said, we don't know how good they'll all be just yet. Have any of you pre-ordered a Rift? Is there anything on the list you'd like to try playing?
There are no VRMMORPGs?!?! Well, damn you!! This sucks….
But what games coming to the Vive…That is what we will all want to know… And nope not pre-ordered this thing.
I already own a Ethan Carter & Pinball FX2, will I need to buy them again just to enjoy them in VR ?
Well I already own Project Cars which is on the list and that already has an Oculus VR mode built in to it on the menu/options screen.
I suspect the most you will need is a patch which will be released for any game on that list closer to the Rift launch.
