Get to gaming!

The Oculus Quest has dozens of games available within a month of its launch and has plenty of titles along the way. These titles range from melee combat to shooters, to nightmare-inducing horror games. The game that will get you on your feet and be the life of any party is Beat Saber. Its easy game mechanics mean anyone can jump in and start playing right away. But its range of difficulty levels and variety of songs will keep even the most skilled veterans engaged.

If you prefer a combat shoot’em up, then you should check out Robo Recall: Unplugged. It has intuitive controls and allows you to blast robots with pistols, shotguns, and grab machines and fling them at each other. If you’re on a budget, Vader Immortal: Episode III is a great VR title that only costs $10. You can wield a lightsaber, use the force, and battle bots in the training dojo or follow the story mode.

While we do our best to make sure every game available at launch arrives on this list, we don’t always catch them all. We aren’t Ash Ketchum. We will continue to update this as and when we can, to make sure it is as up to date as possible.
