Amazon will sell HTC Viveport apps and open Prime Day VR kiosks (updated)

Having previously dipped its toe into virtual reality waters, Amazon is about to dive deeper with two new VR initiatives. The first will see Amazon offering HTC Viveport titles through its online store, while the second involves opening VR kiosks in 10 locations across India to promote next week’s Prime Day.

Previously, HTC has sold Vive virtual reality software through Viveport and Steam VR online stores, but its new partnership will add Viveport apps and games to Amazon’s online store. According to HTC, developers who opt in to the new distribution program will be able to sell their titles through Amazon in the “coming weeks,” adding a new base of addressable customers. Titles purchased through Amazon will automatically be added to users’ Viveport libraries.
