Steam and Oculus Summer Sales Offer Steep Savings on 120+ VR Games

Steam’s legendary seasonal sale is now underway, but this year, virtual reality consumers have two competing platforms from which to browse bargains as Oculus joins Valve in a summer VR game sale head to head with some attractive discounts.

Strange to think that, just last summer we didn’t even have consumer grade VR headsets for which to buy software and now, the two main players in distributing games for immersive platforms are going head to head vying for our money with both Steam and Oculus Home starting Summer sales for their titles this week.

Steam’s sales run until July 4th while Oculus’ (including those for Gear VR) last until July 5th.

By now the topic of software exclusivity and hardware lock-ins have been widely discussed of course, with Oculus’ strategy to bring new content just to its store, to work just on its VR hardware, seen as controversial by some. However, the very fact we now have two major sources of solid VR content means competition, and that is rarely a bad thing for consumers.

We’ve compiled the entire list of discounted VR games for you (note that only Vive games marked as supporting room-scale and the HTC Vive are listed here from SteamVR, though you can see the full list here {including those that support the Rift and non-room-scale}).
