"This also provides a general blueprint going forward for content to come. Players will explore new and undiscovered lands from the ground, and then once they've fully mastered those environments--a notion that continues to evolve with each new expansion--they can take to the skies and experience the world from a new vantage point."

During Oculus VR's Rift press conference today, the company announced that it is creating a platform for game distribution similar to Steam.
Called Oculus Home, the platform will house all of the virtual reality games that are compatible with the Rift headset.
