The studio has also confirmed the title will be coming to Google’s Daydream View device which was finally unveiled last week, showcasing a fabric cover, a price of $79 USD and due to be launched in November.

“While downloads is a great metric, we are most proud of our monthly active users,” said Saaf.  “150,000 active means that people are playing and re-engaging in our games well after the initial download.  Our last two Oculus titles are 4 stars with thousands of reviews.  People like high-quality fun, casual VR gaming.”
