The first vorpX update is finally available. This is mainly a maintenance update that, among other things, should address most (if not all) issues that some of you had with various Steam games.
There are more interesting things too, mainly the addition of the two most anticipated games of the year: Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts are now playable on your Oculus Rift development kit. Another nice addition is the indie horror title Outlast, which is a great game to play in the Rift. Highly recommended!
If you already own vorpX, you will receive the update automatically. Simply start vorpX Control to download and install it.
If you do not own vorpX beta yet, you can buy it here.
The price is ~40$ + taxes, the final price will vary slightly based on your local sales taxes, you can review it on the order page before you buy.
