Humble is known for its high-value virtual reality bundles, and it is time for another showing. The new Humble Must-Play VR Bundle comes touting eight games for headset owners, all split into three tiers.

The $1 tier has only Vanishing Realms but going up to the $10 second tier adds Traffic Jams, Down the Rabbit Hole, Propagation VR"s co-op DLC pack, and PowerBeatsVR. There is no average price tier this time.

Tier three finishes things off with copies of Pistol Whip, Ragnarock, Vacation Simulator, and a 25% discount coupon for After the Fall.

You have plenty of time to ponder this bundle too, as its expiry date is over two weeks away. If VR is not your style, Humble is also running a Game Night bundle with digital board game adaptations containing hits like Ticket to Ride, Splendor, as well as a bunch of their premium addons, all for around $12.
