Play ‘Onward’ Tactical Multiplayer Shooter for Free on Rift This Weekend

Onward, the tactical multiplayer shooter for Vive and Rift, is getting another free weekend – this time for Rift players on Oculus Home.

The free weekend begins January 25th at 1:00 PM ET and goes
until the 29th at 3:00 AM ET (your time here). Check out Onward on Oculus Home here.

Created by Downpour Interactive, Onward offers 5v5 online multiplayer, as well as solo/coop vs AI mode, and objective-based gameplay. With 30 different weapons at your disposal, all of which are modeled after real-world military weaponry, the focus of Onward is decidedly on creating realistic battles. Fans craving the usual assortment of heads-up displays or cross-hairs seen in other shooters need not apply.

Normally priced at $25, the free weekend should give you a chance to see if the mil sim-paced game is right for you. At this point in Early Access, there isn’t a ranking system in place, so expect to meet all levels of skill when you first start playing. This can be daunting, considering how much of a hardcore player base the game has garnered in the year and half since it launched into Early Access, but the free weekend should level the playing field somewhat as a glut of new players enter the game.
