Onward charges onto Oculus Quest on July 31, supports cross-play with PC VR
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have the final release date and pricing for the Oculus Quest release of popular military shooter Onward. Onward will be debuting on the Oculus Store for the Oculus Quest on July 31, with a rather reasonable price of $25. Developer Downpour Interactive took to their blog to announce the release date and price, as well as detail all the features you’ll find in the Oculus Quest release, which also coincides with the release of version 1.8 on the PC.
Onward is a military shooter that’s along the same vein as Counter-Strike, pitting teams of operative against each other in a modern militaristic setting. Fans of the venerable Tango sim will find Onward immediately familiar, as it feature plenty of gameplay mechanics and modes that are sure to feel fresh and new, thanks to the fact that you’re now moving with your body instead of just a controller.

Unfortunately, players who have purchased Onward on the PC-based Oculus Store will not have cross-buy access to it on the Oculus Quest, since it was a separately developed version of the game. Onward has been in development for several years now, even going back to the Early Access program on Steam in 2017. Check out the trailer below to see the Oculus Quest version of the game in action.
