Looking for games to try on your Oculus Quest VR? Well, you are in for a treat!
Although the Meta Quest 2 has been rebranded as the Meta Quest 2, and the price of the virtual reality headset has increased, it still features a collection of fantastic games that we’re confident you’ll want to check out.
But virtual reality’s hidden gems aren’t as well-known as gaming’s other blockbusters, so we’re here to help by showcasing a few of our favorites.
We’ve chosen a wide variety of games, both available in the Oculus Quest 2 shop and those only playable on PC, demonstrating the continued viability of tethered VR.
In addition, all these Oculus Quest VR Games are playable on the brand-new Meta Quest Pro, which is fantastic.
The Beat-Saber
Beat Saber is a virtual reality (VR) gaming phenomenon, and if you like the genre, you should check it out. In this game, you use your two lightsabers to slash at blocks that fly at you while you avoid obstacles while the music plays. Think Guitar Hero meets Star Wars.
Players unfamiliar with virtual reality will enjoy the game at easier difficulties, while veterans will like the challenge of the “Hard” and “Expert” settings. If you keep at it, you’ll get into a “flow state” in which your arms start moving without conscious effort.
Then, suddenly, you’re cutting through obstacles like Luke Skywalker would have cut through the competition had he instead been a drummer for Pendulum. In addition, the Quest edition adds 360 modes for select songs only, in which blocks will come at you from all directions.
If you want the best sound while listening to artists like Billie Eilish, Imagine Dragons, Linkin Park, and BTS, you’ll need to plug in some external headphones (preferably ones with a lot of low-end).
The Electronic Mixtape content pack is the newest downloadable content addition. It comes with the most impressive EDM tracks to date and includes some of Beat Saber’s most visually striking and challenging levels.
The Oculus Quest 2 VR headset will include Beat Saber as a promotional item beginning in August 2022, after the device’s price has increased. You can benefit from the deal by purchasing a Quest 2 by 2022’s end and redeeming your points as specified.
