Now that the dust has settled on the Steam summer sale and our wallets are starting to refill slowly, Oculus VR is hoping to tempt us back to the virtual gaming table with a sale of its own. The big Fall Sale runs for the next few days and has made some of the platform’s most beloved games much, much cheaper.

Do you have a Rift and still don’t own Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes? If so, you can pick it up at a third of the price it was just a few days ago. Chronos has also been heavily discounted and you can pick up Defence Grid 2, VR Edition for 50 percent less.

Other notable names include Radial-G Racing Revolved, Project Cars, AirMech Command, and Dark Days, all of which are available at a discounted rate for the next few days. Immersive first-person narrative game The Assembly is also discounted — no doubt that will prove to be one of the more popular purchases during this sale.

But it’s not just Oculus Rift users who can benefit from this new sale. If you own a Gear VR, there are also games like Nervout, Anshar Wars 2, Star Chart, Drift, Hidden Temple, and Faceted Flight, all of which have prices cut by as much as 66 percent in some cases.

The Oculus VR Fall Sale will run until September 20, so you have the coming weekend to make your choices if you so wish.

Are there any particular titles in there that you guys like the look of? We can personally vouch for the immersion and beauty of games like Project Cars and Chronos, though we do hear very good things about The Assembly as well.

With the new addition of achievements in games though, it may be worth going back over some of the ones you’ve completed to really challenge yourself.

Windows 11 Home usually costs $139 — but it’s only $30 today

If you've recently bought yourself a new desktop or laptop, you're most likely using Windows 11 Home edition, which is still pretty good, but it does lock some features away that you can only get with the Pro edition. While they aren't completely necessary, they are nice to have, but the usual $200 cost of a Windows 11 Pro license means they aren't worth the cost. Luckily, there's a great deal from StackSocial that discounts Windows 11 Pro down to just $30, which constitutes a whopping 84% discount on the regular price. You better grab it quite too, because the sale is going to be ending soon.

Why you should buy Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Most of the features that you'll find on Windows 11 Pro are targeted to, you guessed it, professionals, but that doesn't mean that you can't also take advantage of it. For example, while both versions of Windows 11 are pretty secure, Windows 11 Pro has extra security features. For example, the Pro version comes with Defender Application Guard, which is an additional level of security that protects your files even if your computer is stolen, and the BitLocker can directly lock your files so nobody can read them even if they can access them.
