Viveport Offering Free Titles Every Weekend as Part of Summer Promotion

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is over for another year, leaving gamers wanting all those shiny new videogames that have been announced. As it’s summer and to help pass the time Viveport has now begun its mid-year promotion, offering deals to subscribers as well as individual title discounts.

To start things off, Viveport will be giving away free virtual reality (VR) titles every weekend up until 8th July. All you need to do is have a Viveport Subscription – which can be the free two week trial – to download the first videogame, Final Soccer VR in commemoration of the World Cup this month. Don’t take too long however, as Viveport will only issue a limited supply.

A football simulator where you can either be a goal scorer or the goal keeper, Final Soccer VR features a variety of modes from Arcade to Simulation, options to play online and local multiplayer. The title supports up to three HTC Vive Trackers to make the penalty shootout experience even more realistic.

If Final Soccer isn’t your thing then keep checking back to the Subscriber Deals page – every Monday it will refresh to show you what’s coming next.

HTC Vive users who aren’t Viveport Subscribers (or have already used the trial) can always enjoy some of the individual title discounts available on some top VR experiences. Discounts are being rolled out on over 100 titles between now and 8th July, 2018.

Offers include saving 90 percent on first-person shooter (FPS) Vindicta by Game Cooks, or how about Cloudgate Studio’s dinosaur hunter Island 359 which has got a rather tasty 40 percent off. Or for a more cerebral experience there’s always The Gallery: Episode 1 – Call of the Starseed which has got 75 percent knocked off the price. There’s a massive selection of videogames available, to see the full rundown head the Viveport listing. For any further HTC Vive or Viveport deals and offers, keep reading VRFocus.

Something for the Weekend: Bundles And Deals In The Steam Store

Some days are really sent to test you. Nothing goes right, and instead everything goes very wrong indeed. It’s raining out, or cold, or both. Something expensive breaks. Someone reliable is not. You’ve no time for any of the things you need to do. Your post is nothing but bills and your next-door neighbour is still playing that same song over and over they started playing several hours back. What’s the worst is when these days happen to be on the weekend, supposedly days of rest.

Sometimes you just need to take a load off, and get away from it all. In this way virtual reality (VR) is especially valuable. After all, if the world’s full of nonsense why not go to a new one? Thankfully there’s always a deal here on the various stores where you can pick up a videogame on the cheap and work out some of the stress from a testing world.

Today’s selection of titles picked by VRFocus come from Steam, so check out the below and maybe save some cash on something good.

CROTEAM VR Bundle

Compatibility: HTC Vive and Oculus Rift

Remember what I said about combating stress above? Here’s a bumper pack of titles to cause havoc in.

Earlier in the week we told you about the release of Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE. Croteam have been busy throughout 2016 and 2017 converting some of their most iconic titles – the Serious Sam series – into VR compatible adventures for both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. As well as that release Croteam also released a special bundle of all their VR related titles onto Steam.
It’s a five pack consisting of Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter, Serious Sam VR: The Second Encounter, the aforementioned Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE and also The Talos Principle.

The CROTEAM VR Bundle works out to be 51 percent off of purchasing the games separately; meaning you can pick up all five titles for £73.90 GBP rather than £150.95.

Racket: Nx

Compatibility: HTC Vive and Oculus Rift

“Racket: Nx is an out and out sports title, compare it to any game which involves a racket of some sort (badminton, tennis, table tennis, etc), just with a bit of sci-fi flare. Players are located in the centre of a dome, on a slightly raised platform. This dome is made up of hexagonal panels which illuminate with different options depending on the game mode or difficulty.” – Read Peter Graham’s preview for VRFocus.

Until the end of Monday Racket: Nx is available on Steam for £9.59 (GBP) rather than £15.99.

Karnage Chronicles

Compatibility: HTC Vive and Oculus Rift

“Karnage Chronicles is a first-person experience that performs in a similar fashion to the extremely well received Vanishing Realms: Rite of Steel. While Indimo Labs’ debut title nails the combination of puzzle solving and combat fairly solidly, Karnage Chronicles has two other ideals up its sleeve: character class divisions and co-operative gameplay.” – Read VRFocus Editor Kevin Joyce’s preview.

You’ve just over a day to get Karnage Chronicles on Steam at 15% off, for £16.14 (GBP) rather than £18.99.

ZomDay

Compatibility: HTC Vive and Oculus Rift

You are a soldier of the Special Event Action Team, better known by the acronym S.E.A.T. It’s your job to convince the walking dead to stop the former, and stay the latter. With as many bullets as is necessary.

You’ve until November 17th to get 25% off of ZomDay, bringing the price down to £5.24 (GBP) from £6.99.

Compatibility: HTC Vive and Oculus Rift

In this videogame by Ivanovich Games, soon to celebrate its first anniversary you must take on the role of a football attacker or a goalkeeper and use your virtual skills in order to score goals or prevent them from being scored. Its as simple as that. Whilst for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift the striker side of the game is only for the HTC Vive – so do bear this in mind.

For a short time only you can get Final Soccer VR for £7.49 (GBP) 50% off its usual price of £14.99. Its also a part of the Virtual Reality Arcade Bundle, which also features Lander 8009 VR, Operation Warcade VR and Off-Road Paradise: Trial 4×4.
