Google Offering $40 Game Bundle With New Daydream View Headset

From now until the end of 2017, Google is offering a game bundle worth $40 with every Daydream View purchase, which includes some of the platform’s best titles. Google’s updated VR headset was announced this week alongside their Pixel 2 smartphones, and begins to ship on October 17th.

The 5-game bundle of first-person explorer Eclipse: Edge of Light, multiplayer spell-caster Wands, asymmetrical multiplayer game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, puzzle-adventurer Lola and the Giant, and wacky mini-game collection Virtual Rabbids: The Big Plan is a great way to kick-start your Daydream VR experience.

Announced on Tuesday, the new version of Daydream View – a VR headset enclosure for Daydream-ready Android smartphones – has improved upon the original design in subtle but important ways, with new optics, ergonomics, and a passive heat sink – read our hands-on article for some initial impressions.

The new headsets begin shipping October 17th; the game bundle will remain available until December 31st, and must be redeemed by January 15th 2018.
