Oculus Store Launch | Update 20.3.1
Dec 7th
Universe Sandbox ² is now officially available on the Oculus Store!
And to celebrate, we are 15% off: Universe Sandbox ² on Oculus Store
If you’re a Rift user already, you should see some big performance boosts in VR, thanks to the added support for the Oculus technology in this update. Oculus technology features their Asynchronous Spacewarp, which helps keep the visuals and tracking feeling smooth, even when there’s a dip in performance.
This update also includes a number of smaller improvements and bug fixes. Check out the full list of What’s New in Update 20.3.1.
Special thanks to our VR developer, Jacob, for making all of this possible!
