Oculus Quest is Facebook's last piece of hardware in their first generation of VR devices. It has six degrees of freedom, and Facebook has made it relatively easy for developers to port their Oculus Rift games to the Oculus Quest. Because of this, there are several games available at the headset's launch.
Available now
Nonstop fun
Beat Saber
Staff pick
Beat Saber is one of the most popular VR games across many platforms. In it, you use both controllers and motion tracking to swipe at blocks that are synced to music. None of those words do the game justice, and having it available at launch is a huge deal for the Quest.
Good clean fun
Rec Room
If you own a VR headset and you don't know Rec Room, you should really change that. Rec Room is one of the most well rounded VR experiences I've ever had. It has a myriad of adventures to go on, including a full-size Battle Royale paintball game, a pirate ship adventure, and laser tag.
Next level artistry
Tilt Brush by Google
What if the entire world was your canvas, and your paintbrushes could draw light and sound and emotion with the same effort as any other paint? The folks at Google have been bringing fantasy to virtual reality for years now with Tilt Brush, and for the first time, that experience will be entirely cord-free thanks to Oculus Quest.
LIGHT SABERS!
Vader Immortal: Episode 1
Not really a game, technically, but a VR story taking you through some of the adventures everyone's favorite villain experiences in the Star Wars universe. The folks at ILMxLAB have quite the story cooked up for this title, and they're very excited to share it with everyone on Oculus Quest!
The cutest game ever
Moss
Moss by Polyarc is one of my favorite games to play in Windows Mixed Reality and Rift, so I am excited to see it coming to the Oculus Quest. Leading Quil, the mouse protagonist, around the beautiful world will be a complete joy with the freedom from cables that the Quest promises.
Matrix VR
Superhot VR
Superhot VR is one of the games I compare all VR games against. The unique visual style and gameplay make it the perfect VR game, and I cannot wait to use it in the Oculus Quest, free from tethers.
Western styles
Dead and Buried 2
Billed as a VR paintball game, Dead and Buried 2 improves on the original and looks to be an excellent game for the Quest. It could be one of the arena games as well so watch out for that.
Why? Why would you do this?
Face your Fears 2
Also known to me as the NOPE game, Face your Fears 2 by Turtle Rock Games is literally the stuff of nightmares. The game is designed to show you common phobias that people have and ramp up that experience to insane levels.
Classic sports
Sports Scramble
We have now confirmed the game that what was once called Project Tennis Scramble, will now be called Sports Scramble and will have tennis and bowling at launch, with baseball to follow. This reminds me of everything I liked about Wii Tennis.
Ultron style death
Robo Recall
Robo Recall from Epic Games is a bullet storm game with some unique gameplay design. Using it on the Oculus Quest will bring a lot of needed freedom to the game, allowing you to spin 360 degrees to destroy killer robots en masse.
IDDQD
Journey of the Gods
Journey of the Gods looks pretty epic. Huge sweeping vistas, a cartoony graphics style, and a mix of combat experiences make this a game to look out for. Plus, you get to go full-on GODMODE, so that should be fun.
Fishing Fun
Orbus VR Reborn
This game has some excellent looking game mechanics. The Bow, sword, and fishing rely on you actually getting better at the physicality of it. Hopefully, it doesn't rely on it too much, because I'm old and I suck at physical things. I'm still willing to try though.
Argghhh
Space Pirate Trainer
Space Pirate Trainer is a firm favorite with everyone who plays it. It's a brilliant combination of Bulletstorm and Space Invaders, and, because of the unique way the VR works, all of this is happening around you in a frenzy of neon insanity. Love it.
Picard Puzzles
Shadow Point
Puzzle games in VR are fantastic. You get so much space in a truly 3D world to explore, and the developers get that much space to really mess with your mind. It also has Sir Patrick freaking Stuart doing the narration, and for me, that's an Instant buy.
I feel like dancing!
Dance Central
VR is the natural evolution for the Dance Central games, after all, they were some of the first motion control games, so it makes sense for them to go to full body motion too. The music they have in the game sounds excellent, but boy-o, am I going to do poorly at this one.
Wierd and wacky
Job Simulator
We all know Job simulator right? It's weird, it's funny, it's weird again. It doesn't exactly simulate a job. Instead, you can throw staplers, smash objects, chug coffee, and more.
VR Mos Eisley
VRChat
VRChat is both a good and bad thing. Good because you be anything you want to be. Bad because a lot of people want to be awful. If you can find your own niche though, it should be fun.
Cute castle defense
Ballista
In this first-person VR title, you're aided by magical items and creatures. You can collect magical creatures to hurl at opponents to defeat them.
Clever multiplayer
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Solving puzzles is a lot of fun. Solving puzzles in VR is even more fun. Solving puzzles in VR with an exploding puzzle is the best.
Vrooooom
VR Karts: Sprint
VR Karts: Sprint is a chance to bring the feeling of Mario Kart to your Oculus Quest. It doesn't always succeed in doing so, but it is still a lot of fun whizzing around.
I'll raise you
PokerStars VR
VR seems to be the perfect place for poker tournaments, and from what we have seen PokerStars VR is a brilliant program for doing just that! You play for keeps though people, be warned.

Fruit Ninja
The popular fruit-slicing mobile game, where you use katanas to slice at fruit that's flung at you, comes to VR. You can play in classic, arcade, zen, and survival mode.
Explosive puzzles
I Expect You to Die
This game puts you into several crazy and dangerous situations. You need to solve each puzzle using your whit and your character's resources and telekinesis. You'll have to do everything from stopping dynamite to beating fires to stay alive.
Under control

This is another basic setup to help you get acquainted with VR and the Oculus Quest. In it, you interact with a robot, toss items around, and play with toys inside a virtual space.
Ping pong

This VR version of table tennis supports multiplayer, singleplayer, and arcade modes. The developers focus on realism and the game's physics engine to deliver a crisp and motion-realistic experience.

Future titles
Bow fighting

QuiVR, which allows you to shoot a bow and arrow in VR, has been around a little while now and has its own cult following. With the Quest, you get the freedom of movement that's sure to greatly enhance your experience. It's currently only available for the Go, but the game's description specifically mentions cross-play support with the Oculus Quest so it should arrive in the future.
Samurai combat
Sairento VR
In Sairento VR you're a cyber ninja set in a reimagined futuristic Japan. The combat system includes high jumps, slow-motion that's reminiscent of bullet time, and both sword and gun combat. Sairento VR was not available when the Oculus Quest launched on May 21 but the official Oculus YouTube channel has a for the game that says it will come to the Oculus Quest.
Vertigo inducing
The Climb
The Climb is already a fan favorite with Rift users, so it will be interesting to see how it translates over to the Oculus Quest. Having the freedom to move around more should make the game more enjoyable and scarier if, like me, you are afraid of heights. The developers of The Climb stated the game would .
Giant swords
Swords of Gargantua: Quest
This cross-platform combat game allows you to fight giant enemies with a sword and dozens of other weapons. You can work alone or play online with up to three other players. This title is listed in the Coming Soon section of the Oculus Store for the Quest, though there isn't a release date listed.

Nutty gameplay
Acron
Acron is an interesting looking game that uses both VR and mobile phones to create the gameplay. You are a tree in the VR version, defending your nuts, while mobile players act as squirrels trying to take them. Sounds like a lot of fun for an entire group.
EXTERMINATE!
Doctor Who: The Edge of Time
Edge of Time is shaping up to be a fun puzzle game for Doctor Who fans. It feels like a point-and-click adventure from the '90s but with the added twist of being Doctor Who canon. It's exciting and I can't wait to play.
Sunny zombies
Arizona Sunshine
Arizona Sunshine is a VR classic, and I'm really glad that it is coming to the Oculus Quest. If you have never played, it's a high action, high scare, zombie shooter but based in the beautiful Arizona landscape.
Arena battles!
Echo Arena
Echo Arena is an offshoot of the amazing Lone Echo. You get to fly around as a team of robots and play a version of Zero-G Ultimate Frisbee. It's a lot of fun, if you can get over the vomit inducing movement.
Stealth action
Espire 1
Stealth games should be everywhere on VR systems, but they aren't. Espire 1 hopes to fill the void with an action FPS game featuring a lot of stealth options. You can even sneak up behind people and say FREEZE to stop them in their tracks!
Beautiful puzzler
Fujii
Fujii is one of those ethereal games that is almost as much fun to look at as it is to play. When you play as characters that are a spirit in nature, it can sometimes feel very soothing. This will be a nice game to relax to, I think.
Get to gaming!
