Echo Arena will be free for the Oculus Rift

VR team sport game Echo Arena will be free for Oculus Rift owners, the dev announced during the Intel Conference this morning. The ten-player zero-G frisbee game, which is based on the studio's single-player Lone Echo, joins Robo Recall on the list of free Rift pack-ins.

The singleplayer game, Lone Echo, is available for pre-order on the Rift store, and both games will be out July 20.

We'll see more from Intel and Oculus during the PC Gaming Show, coming up at 10 am Pacific. You can watch the show live on Twitch, and catch up on all the news from this year's show right here.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the rise of personal computers, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on the early PCs his parents brought home. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, Bushido Blade (yeah, he had Bleem!), and all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now. In 2006, Tyler wrote his first professional review of a videogame: Super Dragon Ball Z for the PS2. He thought it was OK. In 2011, he joined PC Gamer, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
