EVE: Valkyrie now out on Steam

EVE: Valkyrie was one of the most highly anticipated titles for the Oculus Rift. Having played it at a few E3's, it was fun during the brief moments I spent with it. The folks who have a Rift have been enjoying the game for a while now, but what about thos who own the more popular PC VR HMD?

Many were wondering when it was going to be available for the HTC Vive. Well, today's the day as EVE: Valkyrie is now avalable for $60. 

You'll get the VR space shooter along with a copy of EVE: Gunjack as well. Gunjack is a what can be described as a simplistic rail shooter where you sit in a turret and shoot down incoming enemies.

It's been a long time coming, but it's great to finally see EVE: Valkyrie be available for the two major PC VR headsets. It's one of the very first games that got me excited about VR and having a HTC Vive at home, this will be a title I'm anxious to try out.
