 Netflix launches new virtual reality game on Oculus Quest

Netflix has released a free virtual reality game called Eden Unearthed for Oculus Quest devices. The game is available through the App Lab, not the Oculus Store, which means that this game has not gone through the full Oculus review process and may be in beta or still in development.

According to the specialized site Game World Observer, the title of the new virtual reality game is a video game tie-in with the Netflix animated series Eden. Set in a world inhabited only by robots, the title doesn't offer much content other than driving a futuristic motorcycle while collecting fuel and unlocking small portions of the combo. . It is only available via App Lab and can only be found if users receive the link or search for it by its exact name.

The site adds that the new release, even at an early stage, is important in the context of Netflix's increasingly active expansion into games. Netflix targeting Oculus shouldn't come as a complete surprise. After all, Mike Verdo, the new vice president of game development at Netflix, is Oculus' vice president for augmented and virtual reality content.

And various media outlets had reported a few days ago that the Netflix platform had started testing a new video game service on its own platform with a number of users in Poland, but it was different from what was initially thought, according to TechCrunch, Netflix will start testing mobile games within its Android app for its members in Poland. At launch, paid subscribers will be able to try two games, "Stranger Things: 1984" and "Stranger Things 3" - titles that were previously available on the Apple Store.
