Oculus have announced they will be offering up to 60% price reductions on over 30 titles across the Oculus Store for the Rift and Gear VR from June 16th until July 5th. In addition, between now and June 24th, customers purchasing a Rift and Touch bundle [Amazon] will receive $100 in Store credit.

Detailed on the official Oculus blog, the ‘Summer of Rift’ comprises more than just a sale – there will be special events, game launches and announcements too. While no specific prices have been revealed, the team are promising bundles for The Unspoken, SUPERHOT VR and The Climb for the Rift and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Rangi, and Dark Days for Gear VR. Price cuts to Oculus Touch game Wilson’s Heart and Gear VR’s Anshar Wars are also expected.

It’s a great time to buy Rift and Touch hardware, as the $100 Oculus Store credit could provide newcomers with a serious library from the outset, adding to the bundled titles you get for free, such as Dead and Buried, Medium, and Robo Recall. Amazon is participating in the deal [Amazon] across five territories, plus Best Buy and Newegg in the US, along with FNAC in France, MediaMarkt, Saturn, and Caseking in Germany, and Scan and Game in the UK.

Following a very quiet E3 for the company, let’s hope they’ve been saving up some special reveals to accompany these ‘weeks of activities and promotions’.

Dominic Brennan
The trial version of Microsoft’s Monster Truck Madness probably had something to do with it. And certainly the original Super Mario Kart and Gran Turismo. A car nut from an early age, Dominic was always drawn to racing games above all other genres. Now a seasoned driving simulation enthusiast, and former editor of Sim Racer magazine, Dominic has followed virtual reality developments with keen interest, as cockpit-based simulation is a perfect match for the technology. Conditions could hardly be more ideal, a scientist once said. Writing about simulators lead him to Road to VR, whose broad coverage of the industry revealed the bigger picture and limitless potential of the medium. Passionate about technology and a lifelong PC gamer, Dominic suffers from the ‘tweak for days’ PC gaming condition, where he plays the same section over and over at every possible combination of visual settings to find the right balance between fidelity and performance. Based within The Fens of Lincolnshire (it’s very flat), Dominic can sometimes be found marvelling at the real world’s ‘draw distance’, wishing virtual technologies would catch up.

    Hey, any ideas where/how to buy oculus bundle if you’re from baltic states?
    Can’t from amazon.co.uk, neither from fr, and as for amazon.de, it doesn’t look like they have this deal open…
    Other shops that are mentioned in this arcticle do not send oculus to baltic states… -.-
    Which 5 teritorries are mentioned for amazon here?

      Hey, I am from Europe as well (Germany). I think you should ask the official Oculus support on their website. I remember that I had to order my third sensor directly on the Oculus page and that they shipped it from Ireland. So maybe you can buy the whole bundle from the Oculus store as well?

        Nevermind, they added promo to amazon.de.
        Thx for your reply.

    good.

  • Well, I’ve just spent around £100 on a bunch of new games. :-o

    The reduced price and bundle is what caused me to finally buy Oculus Rift. The price reduction helped, but more it was the $100 credit to buy games. It is always disheartening to spend a bunch of money on a platform and then not have anything to play. I have had it for 2 days now and love the Oculus. ST: Bridge Crew is amazing!

    Guess I should have waited a couple weeks to buy my Rift & Touch bundle and I would have got this deal too. :( I’ve already spent more than $100 on games. I would love to see a sale on some of the movies, especially the 3D titles. I would also really like to see a lot more movies available. I could really go for “Guardians of the Galaxy”.
