All 21 apps and games launching on Oculus Go

The Oculus Go virtual reality headset is now available at a starting price of $200, and Facebook showed off its flagship VR social apps at its F8 developer conference today. It supports 1,000 existing apps, but Oculus is hoping to coax users to try out its latest hardware with the launches of 21 games and aps.

In addition to titles launching on to Oculus Go, games like Cortopia Studios‘ magical duelist Wands and Futuretown’s Cloudlands: VR Minigolf are now in the Oculus store. Wands and Cloudlands were previously available on the Rift and the Samsung Gear VR.

Oculus Go launch titles are, for the most part, available cross-platform except for Forcefield VR’s Pet Lab. Some are new, like Robot Invader’s Dead Secret Circle, a followup to 2015 horror mystery game Dead Secret. They also include previous Google Daydream exclusives, like Tender Claws‘ twisty-turny dystopian adventure V-VR (also known as Virtual Virtual Reality).
