Viveport Annual Subscribers Receive Free Copy Of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners

Viveport is turning four, and to celebrate HTC is giving a free copy of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners to new and existing users who have an annual subscription to Viveport Infinity. Plus, more game are joining the Viveport Infinity lineup.

Viveport Infinity is HTC’s VR subscription service, allowing you to play and access a select library of VR games, apps and more. Infinity isn’t just available for HTC headsets either — the service supports HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest via Link and Windows MR headsets.

Similar to Microsoft’s Game Pass service for PC and Xbox games, you only have access to the Infinity content while you remain subscribed to the service. However, in celebration of the Viveport platform turning four, Infinity members who have an annual subscription can redeem a free copy of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners to keep permanently. So even once your annual subscription ends, you’ll still have access to Saints & Sinners through Viveport.

The promotion runs until October 11 and is available to new and existing annual subscribers. If you’re currently a monthly Infinity subscriber, you can upgrade to an annual subscription to take advantage of the offer. New annual subscribers who join before October 11 will also be able to redeem a permanent copy of the game. An annual Infinity membership costs $107.88 total, but there’s a monthly billing option so you can pay in $8.99 installments.

HTC also announced that two new games are joining the Viveport Infinity library — Moss and L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files. Viveport Infinity subscribers should now have access to the titles in their library.

Viveport Infinity is available as a monthly and annual subscription. You can read more about the Saints & Sinners offer for annual subscriptions here.

Viveport Infinity Now Only $27 For The Entire Year In ‘Play At Home’ Sale

Starting today until Sunday, April 19th, all new and renewing subscribers can get 75% off an annual Viveport Infinity subscription. This brings the price down to just $2.25/month, or $27/year.

Previously I called Viveport Infinity an “insane value” in my Vive Cosmos review, which shipped with a year of Viveport Infinity for free before converting to $12.99/month. Now, it’s even more difficult to articulate just how fantastic of a deal the platform is for only $27/year. The only comparable deal in gaming I can think of is Xbox Game Pass.

For those unaware, Viveport Infinity is a paid subscription service in which you are able to download and play any game included in the subscription for no additional cost as long as you are a member. You’re not streaming the content like Netflix or Google Stadia, you actually download it.

Popular games included with a Viveport Infinity subscription include Creed: Rise to Glory, A Fisherman’s Tale, Arizona Sunshine, Tilt Brush, The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets, Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs, Five Nights at Freddy’s VR, Witching Tower, Torn, and many others. In total, there are nearly 1,000 different apps available with Viveport Infinity.

Viveport works with most major PC VR headsets including all HTC Vive and Vive Cosmos headsets, Oculus Rift, Windows MR devices, and the Valve Index.

This massive price drop is limited until April 19th for a big ‘Play At Home Sale’ with Viveport. After that date it will still be discounted, just not as dramatically. The Play At Home Sale is only variable in the  U.S, Canada, France, UK, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Germany, Spain, Russia, and South Korea.

Viveport Infinity VR Subscription Service Now Supports Valve Index

Today HTC have announced that the Valve Index VR headset is being added to the list of supported headsets for the Viveport Infinity app subscription service.

The virtual reality app subscription service Viveport Infinity is now available for Valve’s Index VR headset, HTC announced, bringing all-you-can-watch and -play content to the most deluxe consumer VR platform yet available. Starting today and running through September, Index users will receive two months of free service, regardless of whether they’re already Viveport Infinity members.

For $12 per month — $9 monthly if prepaid annually — Viveport Infinity users get access to hundreds of VR apps and games that can be used across multiple PC VR headsets, including HTC’s own Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. The company says it’s now offering “much more top-rated VR games and apps” to users, thanks to greater developer engagement.

While some have called Viveport Infinity the Netflix of VR, HTC is marketing the service as an opportunity for new VR users to “discover their favorite VR games, apps and videos,” potentially making purchases of content sampled in the library. Infinity adds new apps and games each month to keep its catalog interesting, while also offering Viveport Video content, frequent coupons, and free app giveaways to members.

Valve Index users can take advantage of the free two-month promo deal through this link by downloading the Viveport desktop app and plugging the Index into the PC for verification. New users will begin a two-month trial of Viveport Infinity, while existing users will get two months of free service added to their accounts.

Viveport Infinity the Unlimited VR Subscription Service Will Cost $12.99 per Month

In a bid to make the Viveport subscription service even more tempting for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift users, the platform announced an unlimited version called Viveport Infinity back in January. Due to officially launch on 2nd April, Viveport has now revealed how much the service will actually cost.

 

Viveport Infinity

To gain unrestricted access to the service’s library of over 600 apps and videogames you’ll need to spend $12.99 USD a month – or $99 per year. That price is applicable if you join the service after 2nd April. As a special offer to entice new customers as well as looking after current subscribers Viveport will be locking the current price of $8.99 per month until the end of the year.

New users can still sign-up for the 14-day free trial then opt to continue their subscription for $8.99 per month, which normally only allows access to five titles per month. So until the end of 2019, they’ll make a decent saving.

“We have built a new model for VR that shines a light on the great library of VR content this industry has developed and gives users a reason to spend more time in headset than ever before,” said Rikard Steiber, President of Viveport in a statement. “At the same time, we’re increasing developer reach and potential revenue as more developers can monetize a single Infinity user. We believe this model matches how consumers want to experience VR.”

Viveport Infinity

Additionally, Viveport is increasing the developer’s share of revenue earned to 80/20 up from 70/30, from 1st April until the end of 2019 – this applies to all titles in Viveport Infinity.

“Through Viveport’s subscription service, we’ve been able to increase our player pool and build a bigger community around The Wizards,” said Paweł Gajda, Head of Marketing and Publishing, Carbon Studios. “Viveport Subscription has become a significant part of our revenue and we can’t wait to connect with even more players thought Infinity.”

Viveport Infinity doesn’t just support Oculus Rift and HTC Vive either. It’ll support any standalone headset using the Vive Wave platform, like HTC Vive Focus and Pico G2 for example.

One of the core features of HTC Vive’s online retail platform Viveport has always been its subscription service, allowing gamers to pay a monthly fee to access five virtual reality (VR) titles per month. Today, as part of the company’s extensive CES press conference HTC Vive revealed Viveport Infinity, the platform’s first unlimited subscription service.

The beauty of this service is that gamers will now have open rein to try VR experiences they may have avoided, or just not bothered with before. Whether that’s a short indie title or a bigger release that maybe didn’t hasn’t had amazing reviews but still seems worth a playthrough.
