Every VR Game in the Steam Summer Sale and Our Top Picks

It’s summer, which can only mean one thing. No, you shouldn’t put your headset down and get outside; you should take a look at the typically mad Steam Summer Sale and spend even more time inside your HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. It’s VR’s first full scale sale and there’s a lot of content to get through. Below, we’ve listed our top picks for both Rift and Vive owners, and rounded up every last game that’s on sale until July 4th 2016 (games on general sale are included too).

Unsurprisingly, Vive has a much wider array of games available here, but there are a handful of titles appearing on both platforms that are worth checking out. There are many, many deals on offer, so let’s get on with it.

Top Picks for HTC Vive

Vanishing Realms – $15.99 (20% off)

Often pitched as ‘The Elder Scrolls meets VR’, Vanishing Realms is well worth a look even if it remains in Early Access right now. Exciting sword combat awaits as you cut down skeletons and more.

Hover Junkers – $24.49 (30% off)

Stress Level Zero’s multiplayer shooter is arguably the flagship online experience for Vive right now. You juggle trading gunfire with friends and driving your massive makeshift hovercraft around giant maps. What’s not to love?

The Gallery – Episode 1: Call of the Starseed – $23.99 (20% off)

One of the few gripes we had with the first episode of Cloudhead Games’ The Gallery series was that it was so short. It comes at better value in the Steam sale, though, so don’t miss out on this fascinating adventure.

Top Picks for Oculus Rift

Elite Dangerous – $20.09 (33% off)

Still arguably VR’s biggest game years on from when it first implemented support for Oculus development kits. Explore a massive galaxy, engage in tense dogfights. If you want more then the new season of expansions, Elite Dangerous: Horzions, provides it.

Project CARS – $14.99 (50% off)

Stiff competition is on the way but for now Project CARS remains the best driving simulation with VR compatibility. There’s a huge number of cars, modes and tracks here, keeping you busy while we wait for the upcoming sequel.

Titans of Space 2.0 – $6.79 (15% off)

Long-time VR fans will have fond memories of the original Titans of Space, and we implore everyone to pick up its sequel at this great price. It’s another Early Access game, but offers an incredible tour of the Solar System that you can’t miss.
