    Viveport Purchases:

    Spoiler
    Viveport FAQ: How and where do I find my Viveport purchases?

    After making a purchase on Viveport, you will need to download and install your new VR app via the Vive desktop app to access it.

     

    Please note: Viveport purchases are not automatically added to your Steam Library. As an app store, Viveport is separate from Steam and you will not receive a Steam Key for any content purchased from Viveport.

     

    To begin, login to Viveport (either via the web site, or the desktop app) and purchase your VR app. In our example, we're purchasing The Grand Canyon VR Experience.

     

    After completing your purchase, you will be able to see your purchased app in the ‘Library’ tab on the Viveport web site, or the Viveport desktop app.

     

    To download and install your VR app, you will need to access the Viveport desktop app.

     

    You may already have the Viveport desktop app installed, as part of your Vive installation process. If you do, by default you should find a shortcut on your desktop called Vive.

     

    If you do not have the Vive desktop client installed, download it here and follow the installation instructions. Use the second download link (Download Vive Software Installer) if you have already installed your HTC Vive.

     

    If you have any issues installing the Viveport desktop app, please see our FAQS for Viveport and for Vive.

     

    Once installed, open the Viveport desktop app and login to your existing HTC account (which was used for your purchases). Check the Library section, then click the Downloads tab within the desktop client where you will find your apps ready to be downloaded and installed.

     

    Click ‘Download’ to start your download. You can pause your download and resume later if you need to.

     

    Once your download has completed, you will be able to access your new app from within VR in one of two ways:

    From the SteamVR Dashboard:

    1. Open the SteamVR Dashboard by pressing the System button.
    2. From the Steam tab (located at the bottom of the SteamVR Dashboard), select ‘Library’. You will see all of your games in your Library. Both purchases installed via Steam and via Viveport can be found in this list.
    3. Locate the VR app you wish to launch and select it. This will take you to a page with information about the content or app.
    4. Select ‘Play’ to launch the content or app.

    From the Vive tab in the SteamVR Dashboard:

    1. Open the SteamVR Dashboard by pressing the System button.
    2. Navigate to the Vive tab (located at the bottom of the SteamVR Dashboard). You will be presented with options to launch Vive Home from this tab (located on the left), information about content available on Viveport (located in the center), and a list of content purchased from Viveport (located on the right).
    3. Locate the content or app you wish to launch and select it. This will take you to a page with information about the content or app.
    4. Select ‘Play’ to launch the content or app 

    How to redeem codes bundled with Vive, Vive Pro, and Vive Wireless Adapter 

    Spoiler

    Where do I get the free/bundled games with my Vive, Vive Pro, and Vive Wireless Adapter?

    When purchasing a Vive, a Viveport Infinity Subscription code is bundled with your purchase. To acccess your Viveport Infinity Subscription, you need to redeem a code which is supplied for you after purchase. There are two ways to receive the codes.

     

    If you bought your Vive via Vive.com:

     

    • You should find a master code printed on a 6 x 8in card, which is included in the Vive's packaging. Codes are no longer emailed from HTC after purchase; you must look for the card in the packaging.
      • Please look carefully for the card! The code will be ten digits long, consisting of letters and numbers.
    • This master code should be redeemed at www.vive.com/code/
      • During redemption, you will need to create an HTC account. If you have already created an account (for example, to post here on the Forums) you can use it to redeem your code.
    • After redeeming the master code, you will be shown (and emailed) your Viveport Infinity Subscription code.
      • If you close or otherwise 'lose' the page with your code on, you can login here using the HTC account you created to look for codes previously redeemed. (This helps if you lose the email, too.)
    • You will redeem your Viveport Infinity Subscription code on our code redemption page.

    If you cannot find a card in your Vive's packaging, or have other issues with redemption, please contact our Customer Care team. This post lists details on how to contact Customer Care, globally.

     

    If you bought your Vive from a retailer:

     

    • For many retailers, a master code printed on a 6 x 8in card is included in the Vive's packaging. The code may also be issued separately by your retailer - on your sales receipt, or possibly emailed separately. (Australia/NZ customers: See separate note below.)
      • Please look carefully for the card! The code will be ten digits long, consisting of letters and numbers.
    • This master code should be redeemed at www.vive.com/code/
      • During redemption, you will need to create an HTC account. If you have already created an account (for example, to post here on the Forums) you can use it to redeem your code.
    • After redeeming the master code, you will be shown (and emailed)your Viveport Infinity Subscription code.
      • If you close or otherwise 'lose' the page with codes on, you can login here using the HTC account you created to look for codes previously redeemed. (This helps if you lose the email, too.)
    • You will redeem your Viveport Infinity Subscription code on our code redemption page

    For most customers, if you do not receive your master code from your retailer, you should contact your retailer for further information and follow-up.

     

    Australia / New Zealand customers: Retailers do not issue redemption codes in these territories. Please contact Vive Customer Care (AustraliaNew Zealand) with proof of purchase, instead.

     

    Resold/used Vive purchases

     

    If your Vive was purchased used, whether online or in-person, it may not include a master redemption code in the packaging. It is also possible that the code will be included, but it will already have been redeemed. In either case, replacement codes cannot be supplied by Customer Care. If the Vive was sold 'as new', you should contact the retailer you purchased the Vive from to get your code.

     

    How to redeem your Vive/Viveport codes

     

    To redeem a code for a Viveport app or game, a Viveport Gift Card or Viveport Infinity Subscription plan, you will visit our code redemption page: https://www.viveport.com/myredeem

     

    Once you have redeemed a content code, you will find the new content in your Viveport Library. 

     

    How to redeem a Steam key (code)

     

    Codes from some previous Viveport bundles have to be redeemed on Steam (for example, Star Trek: Bridge Crew). 

     

    Full instructions on how to redeem Steam codes (AKA 'CD keys') are available on Steam support.

     

     

  3. So glad you are enjoying your Vive and reading your experiences. All of that mailbox camping seems to have paid off. 

     

    If you liked Obduction before, wait until you play it in VR. Since you went through it, you will be able to just enjot the ride without having to figure out the puzzles. I'm a massive fan of Cyan and all of their Myst games as well as Obduction. 

     

    They just announced today a new Kickstarter for a "built for VR" title called Firmament. It looks like it just might be amazing. 

     

    If you have any questions about your Vive or need some cool game recommendations, feel free to ask.
