Now there's one more reason to be excited for the Oculus Rift.
Oculus VR on Wednesday announced that the long-awaited virtual reality headset, slated to launch in the first quarter of 2016, will come with a free game dubbed Lucky's Tale featuring an adorable and "fun-loving" fox. The "made-for-VR" platformer, designed by Words With Friends co-creator Paul Bettner and his team over at Playful, "takes you to a charming new world, with dozens of locales and lush environments."

"We always believed there was an opportunity for platformers in VR, but it wasn't until playing Lucky's Tale and working with the Playful team that we truly realized its potential to change how people view this genre of gaming forever," Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey, said in a statement. "Lucky's Tale delivers on everything you want in a next-generation VR game — it's thrilling, full of adventure, and incredibly fun to play."
Those who pre-order the Oculus Rift will also receive a free copy of sci-fi adventure game EVE: Valkyrie. That title will let you pilot a spaceship, and battle your friends and enemies in "multiplayer space dogfights," Luckey has said.
Meanwhile, Oculus last week started shipping out early builds of the final Rift hardware to developers working on launch titles for the device. Oculus said it's planning to ship Rift hardware out to developers "every week" leading up to the launch. Everyone else will have to wait until next year for the consumer version to drop.
