Warplanes: WW1 Fighters is now available on App Lab!
Finally, the day has come. Warplanes: WW1 Fighters is now part of the Oculus ecosystem.
Despite not being in the official storefront App Lab presence gives us a lot of advantages. Sideloading is not required, purchases are made through your Facebook / Oculus account. Game appears in your Quest library instead of the “Unknown Sources” section. Last but not least: Warplanes: WW1 Fighters on App Lab utilizes features like auto-updates and cloud save.
I purchased the game on itch.io, do I have to purchase it on App Lab again?
We don’t know at the moment. We requested Oculus for the keys and we are waiting for their response. If we get them – we’ll need some time to set up our key distribution system. Bookmark this note – we’ll update it as soon as we know something.

Okay, I'm new to this VR stuff and I really like this game. I didn't read all the comments and purchased from itch.io on 4/10. I really want the game to show in my library so can I return the game or get the correct key??
Blast! Unfortunately, I’m an idiot.
When choosing between App Lab key and Steam, I didn’t realise one was for Quest-only (which I already had via SideQuest and itch.io) and one was for the PCVR version. I would have been happy to keep updating Quest via SideQuest so the Steam key to play via Oculus link would have been great (it’s seated, so no problem with the cable...)
I love the game on Quest however! Incredible job. Sure, Quest allows for freedom-of-movement but a good seated experience is nothing to be sneezed at.
Ah well, for just €12, I might just buy a second, PCVR copy from the Steam store to enjoy the better textures.
Congratz ! Well deserved, hope to see it soon in my applab library !
Great news for a great game. If I use the key for oculus app will that give free access to both the standalone VR game and the oculus link/virtual desktop PCVR versions?
I assume the PCVR has better graphics but would also like the game to demo how great standalone games are to friends.
I hope oculus will say ok for the keys. If their answer is no, can we have a steam keys to PCVR? The PCVR version and quest version will use the same saving data?
Thanks, and congratulation for this game, is sooooo goooddd
Yes, you can get the Steam keys at the moment: https://www.homenetgames.com/keys
But I suggest to wait - we can provide you key for one platform Steam or App Lab (if we get the keys).
Yes, save games will be sync between PCVR and itch.io APK through HNG Cloud Save.
thanks but i can not get the steamkeys, doesn't work...
Can you be a bit more precise with what didn’t work?
- did the link not work?
- the link worked but you didn’t get a steam key?
- you got a steam key but it doesn’t seem to activate?
email adress not found.
It has to be the same email you used to buy it on itch.io. If you are getting that message it is likely there is a typo or you are using the wrong email. Check your itch.io settings to confirm the email you used
App Lab keys are now uploaded to the database. We've also included purchases made between March 5 and March 12. Please try it now. If it's not working, please contact our support as instructed when you are getting error on https://www.homenetgames.com/keys
Thanks i will try it again. If i choose steam version, to play on PC, the APK file on my quest 2 (unknow source) will still updated with itch.io?
thanks
Yes, but you'll have to download and sideload updates manually. App Lab version will be updated automatically.
Early supporter here, excited for the news. Looking forward to receiving a key. Question: Will our progress be saved when switching from the itch.io version to the App Lab version? I’ve purchased a lot of planes/upgrades that I’d like to keep!
No you won't lose your progress, both builds share the same APP ID. However to be 100% sure we encourage to utilize our HNH Cloud Save from the main menu.
ps. no update on keys, we are still waiting.
How do I get an onculus key to get it on AppLab as I've already paid for this on here?
Please read the note. We don't have the keys yet. If we get them, we'll provide you with instructions.
I bought this on itch after it came out for Steam, can I get a Steam key?
Please contact our support and attach purchase confirmation.
