Best games for Oculus Quest 2
Check out our list of the best games available on the Oculus Quest 2.
Defeat Saber
Often the first game purchased on Oculus Quest 2 – and for good reason – Beat Saber is one of the best VR games out there. Players cut colored blocks in time with a song using Oculus touch controllers. There is an excellent campaign mode that allows you to familiarize yourself with the mechanics of the game. And if that's not enough, you can improve your skills by competing against online opponents. Beat Saber is also one of the best VR games for building a new headset owner's tolerance for motion sickness.
The climb + the climb 2
Both exhilarating and rewarding, The Climb uses your upper body to simulate realistic rock climbing. But beyond climbing canyons, there are several environments such as cityscapes and urban jungles for more incredible views. This game is challenging, however, and most players will be surprised at how aware you need to be as you climb higher. We suggest you search at any time.
The Climb series is an exclusive game for Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus headsets.
HyperDash
This one is for Valorant and Call of Duty fans. Hyper Dash is a fast-paced arena shooter where two teams compete in different game modes. Movement is where Hyper Dash really shines, using quick dashes, crushing rails, and teleportation. You will need quick reaction times to be worthy in this arena.
Game modes include: Payload, Domination, Checkpoint, and Deathmatch. All of these modes can be remixed mutators, which add additional components to the match.

Lone Echo + Echo Arena
Lone Echo is a story-based, part-adventure, part-puzzle solving game. You play as Jack, an ECHO ONE service android, who must help Captain Olivia Rhodes solve a menacing mystery in space. What shines the most in this game are the zero gravity mechanics, which allow the player to float through environments and solve puzzles in unique scenarios surrounding this mechanic.
But if the zero-gravity feature wasn't impressive enough, developer Ready at Dawn has created a spin-off multiplayer game called Echo Arena. Designed around zero-g movement, two teams play VR frisbee and compete to score more points. Even better, this game has built a large enough following to have established an esport around Echo Arena.
The Lone Echo sequel was announced during the All Announced in the Oculus Gaming Showcase. Lone Echo is a game exclusive to Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus headsets.
Forward
Closer to Rainbow Six: Siege than CoD, Onward is a military simulation shooter designed for virtual reality. This shooter does away with crosshairs and instead relies on constant aim and coordination with your team, the latter of which is crucial. Onward is all about surviving in combat, so whether you're playing online or with friends, the greatest success comes down to your team's strategies.
VR d’Alison: Reborn
Who knew that Oculus Quest 2 games would already enter the MMORPG space? Orbus VR: Reborn immerses players in an open world to immerse themselves in fantasy like never before. Whether you choose to spend hundreds of hours questing, raiding, or raising dragon pets, Orbus encourages you to exist in the world however you choose. The kind community that exists online for this game is all the more heartwarming.
Character classes include: Bard, Paladin, Shaman, Scoundrel.

Population: one
Of course, the Battle Royale genre would invade Oculus Quest 2 games, and why not? The genre is ultra popular and for good reason. In this regard, Population: We hold no punches. It's a complete BR game that lets you team up with friends, take to an arena, and fight your way to victory.
But it wouldn't be so innovative without the VR twist: rock climbing. This mechanic allows you to use your upper body to climb obstacles and towers. It's both exhausting and necessary, as heights are a necessary strategy for victory. Don't be surprised if you feel out of breath after a game.
Star Wars: Immortal Vader Series
At this point in the Oculus Quest 2 life cycle, short games are more than welcome. Mainly due to the fatigue and motion sickness that often result from wearing your headphones too long. The Star Wars: Vader Immortal series is a trilogy of captivating short experiences. Each chapter averages around 45-60 minutes, but it's an exciting hour at that. It's one of the most immersive Star Wars experiences, combining VR gameplay with exceptional storytelling.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners
At first glance, this might look like a horde mode game for Oculus Quest 2. But that's so far from the truth. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners features a 15-hour campaign designed around the choices of you, the player. Of course, you should expect to mow down hordes by any means necessary.
But in classic The Walking Dead fashion, the living are often more to be feared. Along the way, you'll meet characters with captivating and likable stories. You will also encounter monsters. Above all, be ready to decide for yourself: are you a saint? Or are you a sinner?
