Yee-haw! Saddle up with Hopalong: The Badlands
If you’ve ever played at being a cowboy or pretended a broom was a horse (Wait, just us?) then you’ll be right at home in the wild, weird west of Hopalong: The Badlands. With Hopalong now available as part of Viveport Subscription, we talked to (appropriately enough) Texas-based developers From the Future about their rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ VR experience.
Well howdy there, partner. What’s yer name and what brings you to these parts… or
Playing a virtual god in Townsmen VR
The 'God game' genre is one of the oldest in PC gaming, but recreating that experience in VR is a relatively new idea. Having made a successful mobile franchise, HandyGames are building on that success (pun intended) with Townsmen VR, letting you get up close and very personal with your virtual minions. We spoke with Christopher Kassulke, CEO and one of the founders of HandyGames, about what makes Townsmen VR unique.
Townsmen VR is available now in V
Viveport Review: SteamHammerVR - The Rogue Apprentice
Gamestorm VR’s wave-based shooter dazzles and engrosses the player with beautifully created environments and gameplay.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
There are a ton of wave-based shooters for the HTC Vive, and while some of them continue to wow me and grab my attention, a lot of them fall short of offering enough replay value to keep me coming back. SteamHammerVR – The Rogue Apprentice tackles this issue by offering

Viveport Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them VR Experience
Warner Bros. dazzles Harry Potter fans with this engrossing and immersive experience that showcases some of the beasts of the Potterverse.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
The Harry Potter universe (better known to fans as the Potterverse) is a wonderful place, and Warner Bros. has always done a good job of bringing the stories within this world to life. The virtual reality experience that they crafted fo
Viveport Review: Cat Sorter VR
Pawmigo Games' fast-paced, lighthearted arcade experience is fun for everyone.
By Desmond Madison, Greenlit Content
Cats wearing sombreros and sporting slimy tentacles for arms? They go over here. Cats with bird beaks for noses and cartoon eyes for butts? They go over there!
Indie studio Pawmigo Games has put its experience from working at Disney Interactive to unexpected use in Cat Sorter VR, crafting a wonderful, fast-paced, lighthearted arca
Viveport Review: Front Defense Heroes
Fantahorn Studio’s first-person shooter gets the multiplayer treatment.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
I was a huge fan of Fantahorn’s original FPS, Front Defense. While the original is a wave-based defense simulation, Front Defense Heroes takes away the barriers of a fixed position and opens up the game world for the player to explore as they face off against other players in real-time. It’s a unique concept, and one of only a few F
Viveport Review: Operation Apex
Explore the ocean depths and track down a massive great white shark in this immersive and engaging experience.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
The basic idea behind Operation Apex is to explore three different regions of the sea teeming with ocean life. The scenery looks beautiful, interaction with the world feels real, and as you explore, the sensation of being deep beneath the ocean is both immersive and engaging. That said, there’s no ri
Viveport Review: BOUNCE
Steel Wool Studios' stylish puzzler delights and dazzles.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
On the surface, BOUNCE looks like just another simple puzzle game in a genre that’s already overflowing with content. As you progress deeper into the experience, though, you start to see the nuances that lie beneath and the challenges that are just waiting to be discovered. The basic premise of BOUNCE is indeed very simplistic, as your goal in each level is to
Viveport Review: #SelfieTennis
VRUnicorns’ unique take on tennis is addicting and fun.
By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
#SelfieTennis takes everything you think you know about sports in virtual reality and turns it on its head. The game does this by dropping the preconceived notion of high scores and competitive gameplay to bring you a fun and addicting environment where your most challenging opponent is yourself.
The basic premise probably sounds silly when I break it

By Joshua Hawkins, Greenlit Content
I am a huge fan of simple and fun rhythm games. That’s why I was so excited about Audio Arena when I experienced it for the first time. The verdict? Archiact Interactive’s excellent VR game offers a ton of replay value, great music, and simple yet addicting gameplay.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes on Viveport and wanted to share news of some fixes, updates and changes we have made to our Viveport desktop client since launch.
First, some context. Viveport is a brand-new software platform that has been live for less than a year. With all new software projects there are going to be bugs, and Viveport has been no exception.
