Today we're excited to release our latest game update into the wild, and it's a beast if we say so ourselves. First, we're updating the game so that you can play with Oculus Touch controls across all modes. And we're also serving up a brand new setting, North, which is huge free expansion to the game to enjoy with a gamepad or with Touch. Update The Climb today and get it all. Let's have a look at the detail, with insight from some of our development team.

Next week Oculus Touch is coming to Rift, and to mark the occasion we'll be launching a free expansion which includes support for the intuitive new controllers AND adds a brand new environment for you to explore and compete in.

Gamescom 2016 – you were awesome! It was the first time we gave the general public the chance to play The Climb with Oculus Touch and the week had a whole load of fun as we saw people experiencing free solo rock climbing in VR with these amazing new controllers. It's always great to meet players and we loved seeing their “VR faces" as they took on our virtual rocks.
