Sairento VR
Last chance to purchase Sairento VR at $25
Next Monday on 21st August, we are bumping up the price of Sairento VR for the first time to $29.90.
We have worked hard to bring the game to a state where we feel that it is deserving of the new price tag, and we know our fans will attest and agree to that.
Upon our full release which will come with more levels, more enemies, more bad-assery, plus a story campaign and a co-op multiplayer feature - we are likely to raise the price one more time. This will happen in December.
But for now, we think that it is time to price Sairento at $29.90.
So, if you have been thinking of purchasing this VR game which has been thrilling scores of fans around the world, this is your final chance to do so at $25.
It's really a small price to pay to be the ultimate super bad ass cyber ninja warrior. 😎
