In 2013, Guild Software's Vendetta Online was widely reported as the first MMORPG to support the Oculus Rift, [7] [8] making it potentially the first persistent online world with native support for a consumer Virtual reality headset.

Beyond game development, the company also created and maintains the free and popular [9] Android app Barometer HD, allowing simple measurement and graphing of barometric pressure on devices equipped with pressure sensors. [10]
