Awesome! Have played a ton of this on PC. Has a lot of e-sports potential in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AqvANqI3w8
Everyone: get this game. It's brilliant - just have lot's of space.

This game is the multiplayer portion of Ready at Dawn's Lone Echo.
Game is zero-g, and you use your hands to grab surfaces or players, and throw yourself around with more or less proper account for inertia and velocity. There are 2 main modes that are played based on that core mechanic.
Structurally, there is an instanced lobby with proximity voice chat and a few other players, similar to the tower in Destiny. You have a central area with a 3-d map table, and various training areas for the weapons, throwing mechanics, and zero-g "parkour", as well as a room or 2 for avatar space-suit customization and just "hanging out". The 2 modes are Combat and Arena. Combat is weapon-based deathmatch type deal. There are several weapons and Halo-like powerups and shooting feels pretty good.
Arena is the other mode and is where the game shines in my opinion. Here's the symmetrical map:
You start in the staging area and after a countdown launch as a team toward the disc in the centre. From there it's like "full contact" basketball-quidditch-ultimate frisbee in zero-g. It's very convincing and a lot of fun. Highly recommend, super under-rated game.

This is fun. Easy to learn, hard to master. But very rough around the edges. Getting constant disconnects, leveling seems broken and the game starts even when the teams aren't even and people can join/leave mid-match. Lots of potential though.
Thanks for the heads up on this releasing, I played it a bit with my crappy link cable, but that hasn't worked super great (I stepped on my better cable and broke all the connectors š) so being able to play the natively will be great. Also wireless seems like a big deal for this game.
Probably. It's beta right now. Took them a bit of time between the Arena mode release and Combat update on Oculus Rift anyway.
I can't put this down. It was 2am and I was ready for bed, but I handed my gf my phone and started casting. I got 7 points in one match 3 of which were from a clear from the middle of my team's side of the arena.
Skill based game with a lot of finesse, action, strategy, teamwork, antics, and I've not encountered a single sore loser.

unfortunately i'll never be able to play with friends on any oculus games because they require facebook now :(
Went through the tutorial the other day. Couldn't match-make and the menus were always choking up so I'm planning on trying again later this week.
I think this is the first time my Quest battery was unable to keep up with the amount I want to play a game aside from Super Hot and Beat Saber at launch. Super addictive and satisfying.
