We’ve known that Daydream VR support was coming to the Galaxy S8 for a while now, but it’s still exciting to see it finally rolling out. Now Google’s VR platform will be available to many more users, and perhaps that’ll bring some exciting new content with it. Meanwhile, Galaxy S8 users now have access to another virtual reality option in addition to Samsung’s Gear VR platform.

The timing of this Daydream VR update for the Galaxy S8 is good, too, because there’s currently a sale on Google Daydream View VR headsets. So if you’ve got a GS8 but no Daydream headset, give these deals a look.
