Just saw yesterday that the "For Sale" category is back, for now only when using the Oculus Desktop app. It can also be accessed here:
https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/section/1578364258944223/#/?_k=j294rj
Maybe it will later also be available using the phone app - and the official website.
Also just got this email - it's been a long time since I received such "for sale" mails from Oculus - so maybe a positive change is on the way...

Just in case some are about to miss some sales, because the Sale tab is gone using the Oculus Store website, here are the current games on sale:

I do also own DiRT Rally 2.0 - but the Steam version.

None of these are worth $0.02 imho, lol!

Well, I do not fully agree - although I do get your point 😉 - I'm quite fond of Dirt Rally 2.0 VR, but I can't remember if the Steam version supports native Oculus drivers. I'm not sure that it does...
Still, DiRT Rally 2.0 looks awesome with the Index and the game is highly optimized (runs great), so never tried the game with the CV1.
I've greatly enjoyed A Chair in a Room : Greenwater too. That game works with tons of ss and looks great even with a medium-range gpu - and nice lights & shadows:
Some True Detective Season 1 vibes...

Seems Oculus has now completely deactived the Sale Tab - and the search function for finding Rift games on sale.
Right now there are several games on sale, but it's like finding needles in a haystack. If someone finds a way to see all the games on sale, do post it here, thanks!
Some games on sale - even 90% off:
Pretty annoying having to waste my time writing this post instead of Oculus just making a Sale Tab in the Rift Store to help devs sells their games! 2c.

I guess it's only fair the poor Quest 2 kids get a sale 👌 👍 This is the Quest Store today:
- and of course more than fair that adult VR users with big rigs pay the full price 👌 👍 This is the Rift Store today:
Well, I don't mind supporting the devs and paying the full price - but giving Rift users no attention doesn't feel right. Especially since there're several Rift games on sale, but Oculus does absolutely nothing the help the Rift devs sell discounted games. Just let us have the Sale Tab back!

Rift games currently on sale:
There's still no easy way to check for sales on the Rift store, I had to write a javascript bookmarklet running on a timer that deleted games from the Browse All category if they weren't on sale, causing the window to scroll and more games get added. (Takes around 8 seconds per 16 games, and there's a LOT of games)
Note: the prices and sales are in Australian dollars. The store no longer allows changing region to see other prices, it now forces you to the detected region. (Change it at the bottom in the country list and it sets it back, ignoring your change)
