Releases Recap: August 17 – 21
This week, we released several titles and updates across the Oculus Platform. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
Alcove
Previously available on Oculus Go, Alcove gives you the ability to connect with your family and friends without ever leaving the house. There are games and entertainment for all of your virtual house guests, but, as this is in VR, in Alcove you can take your guests scuba diving, on a bus tour of Paris or even a hot air balloon safari.

Supernatural Update
Thanks to Profiles, it’s now possible to share your Supernatural membership with your household.
