HTC Viveport VR store launches globally




HTC is launching its VR app store, Viveport, globally. The store has been available in China since April, but it's now ready for fans in over 30 countries.
HTC already teamed up with Valve to offer seamless access to VR games, but with this announcement, it is working on bringing in the cool non-gaming experiences to users. The Viveport already offers categories such as education, design, art, social, video, music, sports, health, fashion, travel, news, shopping, creativity tools, among others.


    Also launching today is Viveport Premiers - a list of titles that debut on Viveport. Here are some of the Premiers games:
  • Google Spotlight Stories: Pearl
  • Lifeliqe
  • Stonehenge VR
  • The Music Room
  • All-new edition of the Blu
  • World of diving
  • Fantastic contraption
  • Everest VR
     All of the games that do appear in Viveport could loosely fall into those categories as well. 
    Viveport may not restrict itself to Vive-compatible software, either. The company told Venture Beat that while there are no Oculus VR titles in Viveport users should “stay tuned for news on that in the future.”
    Viveport's available to VR users now. Over the next 48 hours, HTC is offering several Vive games for just $1, including theBlu, Mars Odyssey, Stonehenge VR, The Music Room and Firebird – La Peri.
