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!
Win Big in the Rift Gold Rush—$28K in Prizes Up for Grabs!
Enter the Rift Gold Rush* for your shot at part of a $28K prize pool including Oculus Store credits, a brand-new PC, and the exclusive “Golden Account” that unlocks 100 of our favourite games for free! We’ll kick things off tomorrow with a Brass Tactics free weekend. Jump in and play a multiplayer match anytime from 1:00 – 2:00 pm PT on March 31 for your chance to win. This is the first in a series of Rift Gold Rush events—check back each week for more ways to participate.
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.

Dude we have allot in common 😄 😄 😄 😄
That's exactly what happened to me!
I spent 5K to have the best cpu for game development in Unreal and then these fools switched up cost in a few months!
Trading in my 1080 will only get me 330 towards an upgraded GPU. 😞
I'm waiting on the NVIDIA VOLTAS this time.
That tech looks incredible in UE4.
