Defense Grid 2 Enhanced VR Edition

Designed specifically for VR with thousands of changes to the game, every level in DG2 has been improved, adjusted and altered for even more exciting gameplay and new VR gameplay features.

In addition, a new expansion story has been added to the game with 5 new maps and a new Chapter of the player's story alongside General Fletcher - exclusive to the Enhanced VR version of the game.

Explore the maps in a way you never could before by looking around the environment with your Rift VR headset, find objects to collect, new interactions with the environment, and gain a completely new perspective on the action.

Even if you've played Defense Grid 2 before, you'll find that playing the game in VR makes it seem "like an entirely new game that's even better" as many early players have remarked on their own.

User created level import and multiplayer play are not supported in the VR version.

You need an Oculus Rift Virtual Reality head mounted display and tracker and a Windows personal computer that meets the Oculus Rift minimum specifications (

see our System Requirements section for more information). You will also need an internet connection to download the game from the Oculus Rift store. Internet connection thereafter is only needed for optional leaderboard and friends leaderboard features.

Defense Grid 2 Enhanced VR Edition brings the best tower defense gameplay to you at 90 frames per second, three times faster than the previous version, giving you smooth gameplay with performance to look around your VR environment seamlessly and enjoy your game whenever you play a new map.

An inordinate amount of engineering has taken place optimizing the game play performance so that players have a smooth and enjoyable VR experience.

Because all motion in the game is directly tied to the player's motion - Defense Grid 2 Enhanced VR Edition will not induce motion sickness to the player.

This is very important and very exciting to us.

In some other VR games, the game will present visuals to a player of them moving quickly (flying or in a vehicle), while in reality the player is actually stationary. The differences in those situations between any acceleration (or lack of acceleration) that the inner ear detects and what the eyes are seeing can sometimes cause motion sickness in some players.

Because Defense Grid 2 has gameplay that never presents any motion other than the player's actual motion, even players highly susceptible to VR motion sickness report that Defense Grid 2 does not cause this sickness for them and that it is a very comfortable experience.

Because Defense Grid 2 Enhanced VR Edition is easy to play with very comfortable UI controls and doesn't induce motion sickness in players tested to date, people report that Defense Grid Enhanced VR Edition is one of the most comfortable VR experiences available and can be played for as long play sessions as desired. Many people during testing have played the game for four or five hours at a time without discomfort.

Yes, Oculus Studios is the publisher of the game and Defense Grid 2 Enhanced VR Edition is an Oculus Rift exclusive.
