Samsung South Africa has started sending out vouchers to customers who bought a Galaxy S7 before 20 March and redeemed a free Gear VR through its rewards app.

The voucher includes five virtual reality games and a simulator that would normally cost $54.94 to buy in the Oculus store.

The six free apps Samsung is giving to some of its clients are listed below.


Anshar Wars 2 — $9.99

A space shooter where you control the ship with your head. No controller needed.

Darknet — $9.99

A Cyberpunk puzzle/strategy hacking game in virtual reality.


Drift — $9.99

A bullet simulator for VR. Rather than being the person shooting the bullets, you are the bullet itself.

Herobound: Spirit Champion — $9.99

A virtual reality action/adventure game where you control a little goblin on a quest to save the world.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes — $9.99

One player is trapped in a virtual room with a ticking time bomb they must defuse. The other players are the “Experts” who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb by deciphering information found in the bomb defusal manual.

There’s a catch – the experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need to talk it out.

Star Chart — $4.99

This first iteration of Star Chart for VR includes:

  • A real-time simulation of the visible stars and planets as you see them from Earth.
  • A 3D representation of the solar system, including the Sun, the planets, and major moons.
  • All 88 constellations based on the artwork of 17th century astronomer Johannes Hevelius.
