    Excuse my laziness as I haven't fully researched. I'm just trying to get a list together of the things I need to buy to play this game. I'm looking bare minimum. I'm thinking the oldest Galaxy phone I can use is going to be an S6 but I could be wrong.

    Any help is appreciated.

    S6 is the oldest phone you can use.
    Game On.

    Do you have to buy a Gear VR? Or is the phone enough?
    Can the game be downloaded in the Play Store of the phone?

    Gear VR, phone, and controller (newest regular x1 controller with bluetooth function works). Then you can purchase the game in the oculus app.

    Do you have a link to the cheapest controller?

    Xbox one controller is the best option, assuming you already have one.

    Is it the SM-R322 (2015 model)? You might have trouble fitting your phone in it if you have a Galaxy S8 or later. If you have an earlier phone then you should be ok I think.

    I bought the SM-R324 (April 2017 model) as I have an S8, the previous model SM-R323 isn't guaranteed to come with a USB-C adapter (only micro USB), and sourcing the adapter separately was more expensive than going up to the next Gear VR model.

    I went try put S5 in to see if it does anything. Doesnt do anything and also phone micro slot isnt in middle so it doesnt really fit in well. Goes off edge wee bit on one side. If it was in middle it would fit. I got S7 so that what i use for GearVR and S5 for Kindle version.

    I read that it depends which country you buy the R323 from as to whether or not you get the USB-C adapter in addition to the Micro one. I didn't want to risk buying it and not getting the USB-C adapter.
