This years Game Developers Conference has been a big one for Oculus as the company makes the announcement of their Oculus Rift S headset alongside a heap of information regarding long-awaited titles, such as Owlchemy Labs’ Vacation Simulator, Coatsink’s Stormland, and Sanzaru Games’ Asgard’s Wrath.
Along with these PC VR games–all of which will be available on the Rift S–Oculus provided several updates regarding the upcoming Quest lineup.
