I don't know if a lot of Ozbargainers are into VR and VR Games. But these is a Freebie. So I thought I share it just in case someone is interested.

      I don't see any catch. If you find the catch, please let us know.

        Iirc it has micro transactions (not sure if still cosmetic only)

    • bamzero on 04/03/2023 - 22:08

      I guess sales have slowed and probably less headsets selling too especially with the price rise.

      So open it up and hope to make money from micro transactions.

      • Pobman on 04/03/2023 - 22:44

        Didn't they just announce a price decrease on the 256gb model, I'm sure I read an article on it within the last week or so. Though it was still going to be more than before they increased it last year.

        • bamzero on 04/03/2023 - 22:54

          Looks like it.

          Quest Pro getting a pretty big cut… Guess they overshot on that one.

        • Jimothy Wongingtons on 05/03/2023 - 07:55

          Yea but isn’t a new quest due soon too?

  • The Value on 04/03/2023 - 23:39

    Surprised the same games are more expensive on Quest than compared to PSVR2.

  • Oipjo on 05/03/2023 - 09:27

    Can we buy it the day before, and request a refund for free bananas? 🤣

  • Ham Dragon on 05/03/2023 - 20:06

    Zuckercuck promised GTA San Andreas back in November 2021 & we've heard sweet F.A. about it since.

  • 6828 on 06/03/2023 - 10:36

    Cool. I wish I had room to play games like this without smashing into everything. Too many OzBargain things bought I guess :)

  • Taron on 09/03/2023 - 10:42

      It says March 9th @ 10am PT I am guessing that's US time. Later today.

    • Scrooge McDeal on 09/03/2023 - 18:06

      10 a.m PT , I googled it's 5:00 a.m Thursday Canberra time. I hope that helps.

    For those looking just to add this to their oculus.com account, unfortunately its not free.
    As per the website in the OP

    Pricing variations starting 3/9 @ 10am PT (Rift PCVR, Steam, Meta Quest/Pro)

    The game will be free on Meta Quest 2 / Pro starting at 10am PT on March 9th
    Oculus Rift and Steam will be priced at $19.99 (starting March 9th at 10am PT). Similar to other games, the value price on those platforms will be used to prevent potential cheaters from making a new account on Steam/Rift easily.
    Players who purchase the game on Steam/Oculus Rift platforms, players will be granted 1,200 ($20) worth of Bureau Gold (BG) into their account. This will take effect on 3/9 @ 10am Pacific.
