    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    If you haven’t tried Viveport Subscription yet, there’s never been a better time! Over 375 VR titles are waiting for you, with more being added every week.

    Subscribe to Viveport Subscription before March 22nd for best value

    In less than a year, Viveport Subscription has grown enormously, starting with a little over 50 titles available to over 375 now. As a member you can check out five titles a month – which means it would take you over five years of subscription to experience everything that’s currently available!

    We believe Viveport Subscription is the absolute best value offering in VR today, and we want to make sure you get the best value. That’s why we’re letting you know that the monthly price of Viveport Subscription will increase from $6.99 to $8.99 on March 22nd.

    New Viveport Subscription members who sign up before March 22nd will enjoy a 14-day free trial, then pay the current price of $6.99 per month. (If you are a returning member, you are not eligible for a free trial, but you’ll still only pay $6.99 a month if you sign up before March 22nd.)

    Members who join us after March 22nd will also get a 14-day free trial, then pay the new price of $8.99 a month.

    (And if you’re a developer? Yes, you’ll be getting more – 28% more per member subscribed to your title, per month.)

    First, if you sign up before March 22nd, we guarantee your Viveport Subscription will continue at the original price of $6.99 until at least the end of 2018.

    Second, we’re rolling out new perks for all Viveport Subscription members.

    • All members will receive exclusive FREE codes for games and apps, starting in February and then regularly during the year
    • All Weekend Deals on Viveport – offering discounts on apps and games you’ll want to add permanently to your Viveport library – will now only be available to members

    Viveport Subscription members will be seeing their first members-only Weekend Deal soon. More membership perks will be announced in future, so stay tuned!

    Whether you’re joining Viveport Subscription as a new member, or locking in your pricing through 2018, we’re excited to have you with us!

    With over 375 titles to choose from, it can be tricky to figure out what to choose for your Viveport Subscription’s first month! If you’re in that position, allow us to make some suggestions.

    Fantastic Contraption

    A superb puzzle game, Fantastic Contraption has just been updated with over 50 new levels and other new features. Devilishly simple, all you need to do is move an object in virtual space… but what kind of machine will you build to make that happen?

    Overkill VR

    The name might give you a clue: Overkill VR is all about shooting stuff, in an appropriately over the top way. With a massive range of customizable weapons and a horde of killer robots out for your blood, Overkill VR has kept many Viveport Subscription members on their toes since it first released.

    The Wizards

    As one of our reviewers said, “If you want to throw fire balls and shoot ice arrows at some orcs this is the game for you!” And who doesn’t? Master magical forces, explore an entire campaign and, well, throw fire balls and shoot ice arrows at orcs!

    Earthlight: Spacewalk

    Quite simply, the closest you’ll get to being on the International Space Station without being an astronaut (or, we suppose, a very rich tourist!). Earthlight: Spacewalk will astound you with a simulated spacewalk and some of the most amazing views you can imagine. (Read our review here.)

    theBlu

    Arguably still the best introduction to anyone first experiencing virtual reality, theBlu takes you below the ocean waves to stare into the eye of a whale, reach out to touch giant jellyfish or perhaps discover even more terrifying beasties in the dark.


    Sign up for Viveport Subscription now for your FREE 14-day trial. Experience these five titles and lock in the monthly rate for 2018!

    Viveport holiday picks for 2017

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Whether you’re experiencing VR for the first time or looking for new titles to check out, we’ve got some holiday picks for you – sourced from our very own Viveport staff. Think of these as personal picks from people who know best!

    Available now in Viveport Subscription

    Thomas’ pick, and here’s why: With Vive Trackers coming out this December, I have to experience the full body tracking in Island 359. There’s something equally terrifying and exciting being dropped on a remote island with dinosaurs, but I’ll feel better defended with my two feet in VR with me. I hear Raptors are terrified of a roundhouse kick.

    Front Defense Heroes

    Available now on Viveport, and in Viveport Subscription

    Tommy’s pick, and here’s why: I’m excited to band together and against my coworkers! The multi-player aspect of Front Defense Heroes ensures that the experience is always fresh and exciting and emphasizes teamwork as much as smack talk. With multiple maps and three distinct game modes, this game will keep anyone occupied during the break!

    Available now on Viveport, and in Viveport Subscription

    Ylva’s pick, and here’s why: Over the holidays, me and my daughters will play Fantastic Contraption and compete in who can create the most surreal machines and best solve the puzzles. It is pure fun – both to play and to watch others play. A perfect holiday game for the family.

    Available now on Viveport, and in Viveport Subscription

    Shubham’s pick, and here’s why: I’m very excited to hear the old radio broadcasts, John F. Kennedy speeches, and astronaut’s conversations on this iconic moon landing journey. Apollo 11 was one of the most iconic events in modern history so to get a chanced to be immersed in it is a awesome. Will be fun to explore the moon and then get to explore presents this holiday season with my family!

    Available now on Viveport

    Jenna’s pick, and here’s why: I have never quite felt such a sense of peace and perspective as when I experience Earthlight. No other VR app has captured that authentic sense of scale, of what it means to not only work on the grandeur of the International Space Station, but also to capture the marvel of looking upon the Earth from that perspective. Whether I’m performing a task to maintain my galactic home or just virtually drifting in space, this collaboration with NASA is a beautiful, engaging and realistic escape that only VR can make possible.

    Available now in Viveport Subscription

    Angela’s pick, and here’s why: Happy Drummer is one of my favorite titles on Viveport subscription. It is a fun, entertaining, light-hearted musical masterpiece that everyone can enjoy – no matter your age. I’ve always been a huge fan of games that involved music, rhythm, and creativity but could never get the full, immersed experience as I can now, in virtual reality. I am able to feel the vibration of the drums as I attempt to pass each challenge and physically see the notes coming at me, which is way more captivating than staring at a 2D screen. One of my favorite things about this title, is that one second, I’m grooving to this awesome beat in front of me, then I’m prompted to turn around and the beat and style switches on me! I cannot get enough of Happy Drummer, definitely something I will be jamming to this holiday season.

    Available on Viveport and in Viveport Subscription

    Stephen’s pick, and here’s why: I’m addicted to this retro-arcade game. It’s like classic 1980s arcade games, but you’re standing inside the graphics instead of looking at them in a cabinet. I love playing all of the game modes but Smash is probably my favorite. And even better there are multiplayer modes now to let me compete with fellow ‘Smashers’ over the internet!

    Super Puzzle Galaxy

    Pre-order now on Steam

    Paige’s pick, and here’s why: It’s like Mouse Trap on Saturn! Super Puzzle Galaxy calls upon your creative problem solving skills as you vie to make the fastest pathway to the goal and rule the leaderboards. I love the ability to create my own levels and share them with the Vive community.

    Pre-order now on Steam

    Tommy’s (other) pick and here’s why: Fallout 4 VR is the game for me! Fallout 4 was one of the best games in the last few years so of course I’m excited to be fully immersed in the world of Fallout for VR – roaming the Wasteland will be so intense.

    Available from December 11th on

    Chris’ pick, and here’s why: I absolutely cannot wait to “swim with the sharks” in Operation Apex!  This underwater learning adventure is perfect for the whole family: dive among the fish & other sea creatures in gorgeous ocean settings, uncover the mysteries of our precious ocean ecosystem, and swim face-to-face with sharks – including the mysterious Great White Shark — all from the comfort of your own home just in time for the holidays.
