HTC showed off eight Ready Player One-inspired experiences at the film’s debut event at SXSW. Now, the company has released three of these experiences on Viveport in a single download called Ready Player One: OASIS Beta.

Here’s the full list of mini-games available in Oasis Beta:

  • Planet Gauntlet – Navigate through a seemingly endless dungeon while the undead seek to destroy you. Collecting gold will improve your score and eating food will restore your health, but only your bow skills will ensure that you make it our alive. Developer: Directive Games
  • Planet Doom – Battle for the OASIS – Help to save the OASIS by defeating waves of IOI Sixers. Advance through the trenches of Planet Doom towards the snowy planes that surround Anorak’s Castle. With an arsenal of potent firepower, you must stop the Sixers from controlling the fate of the OASIS.  Developer: Steel Wool Studios
  • Planet Doom – Rise of the Gunters – Fight against a nearly invincible army of highly trained IOI Sixers alone OR with up to two of your friends! Proceed with caution as you defeat Sixers, collect their coins, find power ups and survive a merciless onslaught of hyper-explosive kinetic action for as long as you can survive. The OASIS is yours. Take it back from IOI by yourself or with up to two fellow Gunters! Developer: Drifter Entertainment, Inc.

The download is available for free from Viveport, although at least one of the games is launching on Steam soon—Drifter Entertainment’s Rise of the Gunters—which includes support for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows “Mixed Reality” VR headsets.

If that’s not enough to satiate your need for Ready Player One goodness before the film officially launches on March 29th, social VR platforms Sansar is still hosting an Aech’s Garage experience, and TheWaveVR has reimagined the film/novel’s ‘Distracted Globe’ nightclub, replete with ’80s hits and plenty of nostalgia to keep you spinning like a record, baby.

There’s still no word on when Morph3D’s Ready Player One – Avatar Creator will arrive. You can sign up for more information on the Morph3D website.

    Detail and atmosphere was first rate. Just not a lot to do other than sight see. That’s one of the main problems with Sansar.

    • Matilde Constance

      Sansar is still very mediocre!

  • CarlosTSG

    ROTG is probably the experience I’d like to have a go at next, don’t care for the other two.

  • VR Geek

    What are people’s review? I love the book, hopeful for the movie, but tie ins like these typically are desperate marketing attempts at best. Love to be wrong and one or more of these titles truly shine.

  • Matilde Constance

    All still very mediocre!
    We urgently need an “oasis”!

  • Jean-Sebastien Perron

    They release games that will make you sweat (Vive is not sweat resistant) so they can scam people into their repair scheme where they kidnap your Vive and demand a ransom.

    • Ian Shook

      There’s the Jean we all know

    • jj

      nobodys experienced this aside from you. stop trying to get everyone onto your pitty party. Oh electronics and sweat dont go together?? hmm who the fuck would have guessed that. you’re an idiot if you thought you could dip your headset in sweat and itll be alright. Besides nobody else is having this big of an issue with sweat maybe your fat ass should lose some weight before trying to stand up in vr again…

      • Raphael

        You’re the idiot and a fuckwit judging by your pretty vacant reaction.

        ^^ This well-known VR guy had his Vive die as a result of sweat and according to legal counsel in EU he is within rights to expect warranty to cover that. I suggest you research before opening your idiot mouth.

        Have a warm fuzzy day flappy.

      I no longer like HTC due to their insane pricing, deleting user comments and failure to take care of customers with issues. I’ve added an 80mm fan to the headstrap of my unit.

  • Great to know!

    Well! ))))

    The Distracted Globe in TheWaveVR is entertaining and beautiful, a work of art! I see it as a fun extension to what we were already doing in TheWaveVR rather than an invasive marketing tool. That being said, I *did* order the book and I don’t do much reading for pleasure, so maybe I am the tool. I looked around Sansar’s garage a few weeks ago and found it mildly interesting but not that much fun. It all depends who and how many you have with you. These are social experiences. Just like sitting in an empty bar is not that much fun, same for the Distracted Globe. It was a great time during SXSW, partying in the Distracted Globe with the friends I usually hang out with in TheWaveVR and meeting the new people who would come in from the SXSW demo booth. A fun time was had by all.
