Looking to pick up one of Steam’s most polished VR titles? Battlezone (2016) is on sale for 50% of the usual asking price through August 7th.

Battlezone, inspired by the original 1980 game of the same name, initially launched on PSVR back in 2016 and later came to PC for both the Vive and Rift. The seated tank combat game puts you in the cockpit of a futuristic hover tank and has you battle your way through an impressively stylized and colorful world full of varied enemies. The game holds a commendable 81% positive rating on Steam, 4.5 out of 5 stars on the PlayStation Store, and 4 out of 5 stars on the Oculus store.

This weekend Battlezone is on sale for 50% off on Steam, making the price $20. The sale is only available through Steam (a version of the game which supports both the Vive and the Rift).

Note that Battlezone is a seated game and you’ll need a gamepad to play it. For many Vive players, that will mean probably putting a chair in the center of your room-scale play space. Alternatively, if you happen to own a flight stick setup (also known as HOTAS), Battlezone added support in version 1.07 of the game in July, for a more authentic cockpit experience.
