Hello everyone!
RAD_Tyrana here to give you a breakdown on our newest feature, the Echo Shop. We’ve been hard at work getting our infrastructure online to support the rest of our seasonal loop and along with that, we know people have been asking for other ways to use their Echo Points. On December 14, 2021 when the Echo Shop goes live, you will have the option to use Echo Points for unique content in Echo VR.
When we approached the Shop, we wanted to think about what’s best for our players and the unique elements associated with the VR space. As Echo VR remains a free to play game, we want to provide players the option to add new layers of self-expression to truly represent how they want to appear within our game. To accomplish this, we’re going to be releasing purchasable content on a rotating basis to ensure players have additional options outside of the Echo Pass. We’ve taken to heart a lot of the feedback we’ve received for desired content from our community, so your ideas helped shape the offerings we are providing.
To properly support this, we’ll be offering items for purchase through Echo Points in-game and providing a small bundle of items sold through Oculus DLC.
The Shop is broken down into 3 different types for our variety of players, with new options appearing throughout the Echo Pass seasons.
Starter Bundle
The Starter Bundle is a new option available specifically through Oculus DLC and can also be found within the Echo Shop in game. This option is aimed at providing new players with a variety of different customization options so they can experience these systems quickly, while also providing some additional Echo Points they can use on the Echo Shop or the Echo Pass. The starter bundle will always be available to our new and old players. While the Shop offerings may change in the future, we want to make sure players always have this as an option.
● Starter Bundle — $4.99 USD
● Comet Chassis
● Serrated Banner
● Discus Tag
● Prime Tint
● Shooting Star Title
● 500 Echo Points
Featured Items
Featured Items are a collection of themed customizations that can be purchased as a full set exclusively for Echo Points. These bundles are only available for a limited time and a new bundle will be offered with each season. Additionally, Featured Items provide an overall discount of up to 30% off the combined price of all the items included. We’ll be kicking off the winter season with the J4CK FR0-ST Chassis, Bracer, and Booster, so we hope everyone gets a chill when they see it for the first time. Expect a new full body set to arrive in March 2022.
● J4CK FR0-ST Bundle
● Discounted Price: 1,890 Echo Points
● J4CK FR0-ST Chassis

Limited Time Items
Limited Time items are our individual content offerings. Every two weeks, a new collection of 3 items will be available on the Echo Shop, with the old items leaving the Shop until further notice.
To start off, our first set of Limited Time Items will be some winter-themed content to go along with the J4CK FR0-ST bundle, but after that expect to see new Bracers, Boosters, and Heraldry items every two weeks.

While we all know monetization can be a tricky subject, we want the community to know we are listening to the feedback they provide and we always want to make sure we’re doing right by our players. This will be a learning process for us, and we want to hear what you have to say. As we get feedback, expect to see the Echo Shop change over time to help support our ever-growing player base.
We can’t wait to see what outfits everyone puts together!
