Oculus is Now Offering Free Demos of ‘MARVEL Powers United VR’ at Select Retail Locations

Oculus is now giving free demos of MARVEL Powers United VR, the upcoming super hero adventure for Rift, across its many partner retail locations. If you’ve had a chance to try out Rift in a store lately, you might just be able to secure a demo for Powers United at the same location.

Oculus is hosting MARVEL Powers United VR demos at hundreds of participating Best Buy stores in the US, select Currys PC World and John Lewis stores in the UK, and participating FNAC locations in France.

The demo session tosses you into the Sakaar Arena, where you battle minions with your super powers while working together to collect power cells so you can turn on a shield generator. Once the shield is up, you’ll go head-to-head with Loki.

In the demo, you can choose from between 5 characters, although there’s at least 13 heroes coming to the full game. For the demo, you can choose from:

  • Black Bolt
  • Captain Marvel
  • Crystal
  • Hulk
  • Thor

Marvel Powers United VR doesn’t have a specific launch date yet, although Oculus has said it should be coming sometime in 2018. In the meantime though, take a look at our hands-on with the game where we get a chance to suit up as the high-flying Captain Marvel.
