Oculus has always strived to lower the cost of their headsets and push the boundaries of VR. Each iteration of the Oculus headset has displayed vast improvements. As the associated expenses have lowered, we’ve seen more and more developers leap in VR development. Oculus’s newest headset, the Quest 2, is among the best wireless VR headsets on the market. But we’re not here to talk about the Oculus Quest 2. We’ll save that for another time. Let’s talk about games! Here are some of the best games you can play on your new Oculus Quest 2.
BEAT SABER
Beat Saber is not only one of the best rhythm games, but also one of the best VR games. The goal is simple! Slash the beats as they come at you and avoid any incoming obstacles. The only downside is that due to the Oculus App ecosystem, there isn’t a mod community available to take advantage of this fantastic game. There is, however, enough DLC constantly incoming to keep you dancing and slicing for some time.
