Samsung is relaunching its free GearVR offer,  when you buy any of its new Galaxy S7 line and this time, you’ll also receive an additional Oculus Content Experience.

With the release of its Galaxy S7 line in February, Samsung marked the occasion and its commitment to the mobile VR scene by offering 300,000 free GearVR headsets on a first come, first served basis to those pre-ordering an S7 phone.

Free Samsung GearVR Offer

Now, Samsung have brought the offer back but they’ve expanded the eligibility to all phones in their current range. That means if you’re in the market for a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6, or Galaxy Note5 you’re in luck, as a purchase of any will qualify you to claim your free GearVR and Oculus content experience.

The offer is billed as a Father’s Day promotion, and starts today, running until June 19th. You can buy the phone from Samsung direct or one of their participating retailers, listed here. We snapped a copy of the procedure below for your convenience.

We’re still waiting to find out what the Oculus Content Experience actually comprises, but the offer is worth taking up regardless in our humble opinion, anything extra is probably just a nice bonus.

    Since I got my Oculus Rift 3 weeks ago I haven’t used my Gear VR. But I do find Gear VR more comfortable because I don’t have to wear my glasses.

  • Kijutsu

    Yeap, got a S7 edge and my free Gear VR is supposed to come this month! The S7 Edge, so far, is amazing on its own by the way.

    Not intresting offer, samsung is going to make daydream later on, as do many other brands, will develop for google daydream as it is going to be bigger on end users at the long term.
    The only occulus intresting to deploy for would be the time they have their controllers availalble, for now its just vive and upcoming daydream devices.
    And who knows what Razor is going to show upcoming E3 event, also might be interesting.

    Two small caveats: 1, this offer is only valid for US residents, etc.; 2, the fine print mentions that “No more than 600,000 Gifts are available in this Offer.” So if this proves extremely popular and you get in a bit late, you might not actually be eligible for the free GearVR & Oculus Content Experience.

    • Duane Locsin
