Want the best Meta Quest 3 and 3S games? Here are our top 25 picks available now.
Before we begin, it's worth noting that our best Quest 2 games list and best Quest 3 games list are maintained separately. There's some natural crossover, of course, but with a few key differences. On Quest 3 and 3S, our recommendations will also consider upgraded visuals, mixed reality experiences, better performance, and newer releases that shine on this VR headset.
We'll continue to update our other list while the headset remains supported, though both Quest 2 and Quest Pro are discontinued. Still, we want our Quest 2 recommendations to provide insight into the best VR games for that generation as more upcoming VR games arrive. That's why we've tried to approach our Quest 3 list with a fresh perspective: we want it to feel like a good representation of games that play best on this generation of standalone VR. Some of the more recent Quest 3/3S games aren't available on the older headset, either.
In the past, we've taken a ranked approach to choosing our top 25 Quest 3 and 3S games, but we've now adopted a different strategy with an unranked list. That's because some games simply aren't comparable in a meaningful sense, so we've now listed our recommendations without a score and in alphabetical order. This list also aims to offer variety across different genres, ensuring there's something for everyone.
Honorable Mentions
We have to draw a line somewhere with these lists, but if you're after even more recommendations, fear not. While we've also got separate lists for both the best mixed reality games and the best free games on Quest 3/3S, we've got some honorable mentions here too. These are usually games that were either previously included on our list or didn't quite beat out the rest.
We've linked our reviews or other coverage below where possible, and here are a few additional choices worth looking into.
- A Fisherman's Tale, Action Hero, Alien: Rogue Incursion, Among Us 3D, Besiege VR, Contractors Showdown, Deadly Delivery, Ghosts of Tabor, Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game, Glassbreakers, Gorn 2, Hide the Corpse, Little Cities, Mannequin, Max Mustard, Of Lies and Rain, Pixel Dungeon, Samba De Amigo, Starwave, Sushi Ben, Thief VR, Unplugged, Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice, VRacer Hoverbike, Vendetta Forever.
For games previously released on Quest 2, we've often linked our original reviews in our recommendations below. However, where appropriate, we've also linked to footage and articles detailing Quest 3-specific changes, enhancements, and updates that added significant new content since our initial reviews.
Arizona Sunshine 2
Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fantastic VR campaign featuring pitch-perfect writing, acting, pacing, and outstanding action. It's everything you hope for in a sequel, taking everything that worked in the original and refining it to near perfection. This time, you'll be joined on your adventure by canine companion Buddy, who you'll use for crowd control during intense action sequences and develop a relationship with across the course of the campaign.
This follow-up to one of VR's seminal early hits reanimates the zombie genre and brings with it some of the most engaging and accessible arcade violence we've seen in VR. Plus, the entire campaign is playable in two-player co-op, just like the first game. Whether you're looking to dismember some zombies alone or with friends, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great pick. And when you're finished, we recommend checking out Arizona Sunshine Remake too.

Arken Age
Arken Age is a game that's paid clear attention to evolutions in VR gameplay design across the last decade and takes full advantage. Developer VitruviusVR delivered a satisfying sci-fi action-adventure where you defend this fantasy world against mechanical creatures. There's a sizable campaign here further complemented by a vibrant presentation and strong audio design.
This culminates in one of our favorite VR games of 2025, and Arken Age later received a Quest 3 port following its initial Steam and PS VR2 release. It's a fine transition to standalone VR, making this an absolute must for action fans regardless of platform. Our full review is below and you can check out our dedicated hands-on impressions for the Quest 3 edition here.

Asgard's Wrath 2
Asgard's Wrath 2 offers impressive scale on an uncharted level previously unseen on Quest headsets. It features many incredible moments of bespoke gameplay, expert cinematic direction, and sequences of god-like proportions. However, it also wraps its best moments around an open world that can feel fairly unsatisfying to explore and an RPG structure that sometimes feels as though it gets in the way of the main campaign.
There were very few Quest 3-specific upgrades initially, featuring textures, lighting and an overall graphics presentation aimed at Quest 2. However, it's since received an enhanced graphics mode on Quest 3 and various limited time events. This game isn't a tight linear experience – there's more of those below – but if you're looking for an expansive, near-overwhelming RPG to dig into, then Asgard's Wrath 2 is the best offering on Quest 3.

Assassin's Creed Nexus
There was a lot of understandable doubt about whether the Assassin's Creed franchise could survive the transition to VR and come out better on the other end. However, Assassin's Creed Nexus proves that the series can absolutely work in VR and manages to stand proud with the main series.
It presents players with a 20-hour campaign that leaves them wanting more, demonstrating what a full VR entry can do for a big franchise. Adapting the series' stealth, parkour, and combat into a new immersive format works wonders - Nexus is the most fun we've had with the Assassin's Creed franchise yet.
Henry Stockdale
Batman: Arkham Shadow
Batman: Arkham Shadow brought the series back to VR with a brilliant return for The Dark Knight, becoming UploadVR's Game of the Year for 2024. Set between Arkham Origins and Arkham Asylum, we find Gotham City besieged by the mysterious Rat King. What follows is a compelling tale that remains faithful to the flatscreen games while innovating in its own way through VR-specific design and satisfying combat.
While Camouflaj has moved on to its next project - which appears to be a sequel, according to Commissioner Gordon's voice actor - Batman: Arkham Shadow received numerous post-launch updates that's only enhanced the experience further. That includes a New Game+ mode with a brand new post-credits scene and additional challenge missions, and the last major update went even further with an Extreme difficulty setting.
Henry Stockdale
Beat Saber
For the longest time, Beat Saber has been VR's poster child and one of its earliest (and continuing) successes. It's always been a natural fit on Quest, where you'll slash notes to the beat of the music, dodge obstacles and try to master a truly spectacular selection of first-class music tracks. It's an empowering, energetic and addictive VR game.
There's been plenty of new DLC added to Beat Saber over the years, including music packs or individual songs featuring high-profile artists like Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Billie Eilish, Metallica, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay, and more. Not long after the headset launched, Beat Games also released an update adding support for playing at 120Hz on Quest 3.
Harry Baker
Cubism
Cubism is an understated but absolutely stunning VR puzzle game – and one that's deceptively simple. Each level features a 3D wireframe shape into which you have to fit different Tetris-like block pieces. The puzzles get harder and the pieces more complex – it’s a slow and measured puzzle experience. While it may not be as flashy as some titles on this list, Cubism is an experience that is perfectly designed for the current capabilities of Quest hardware.
The minimalist design, reserved sousoundtrack,d its simple nature all come together to create a fantastic and polished end product. It's also regularly updated to support the latest cutting-edge VR features – post-launch updates include mixed reality support, hand tracking, and 120Hz. It's one of the best mixed reality experiences on Quest 3 right now; MR support is a game-changer for Cubism on Quest 3.
Harry Baker
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked
For the longest time, Demeo basically held a permanent spot on this list. We considered Resolution Games' 2021 tabletop game to be a genuine hit, delivering a first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience that few games – flatscreen or VR – have ever really matched. Demeo Battles doesn't quite scratch the same itch as a PvP spin-off, though Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked surpassed the original in style.
While Battlemarked doesn't use a Dungeon Master (DM) system, what's here is an incredibly natural crossover with Wizards of the Coast's successful tabletop RPG. It evolves on the original Demeo's formula well, letting you and a group of friends traverse dungeons with more narrative-driven campaigns. Combined with controller-free hand tracking and colocation for local multiplayer, it's a must have co-op experience.
Henry Stockdale
Dungeons of Eternity
If you're looking for a fantasy action RPG that you can play with a group of friends, Dungeons of Eternity is the obvious pick. This first-person immersive experience feels significantly polished across all Quest headsets, allowing you and your friends to explore various hack-n-slash combat options while clearing rooms in true “dungeon crawler” style.
Dungeons of Eternity caters to many styles of play, pairing a rewarding progression system with endless randomly generated dungeons. There's a good reason why we named it our Best New Multiplayer VR Game for 2023, and further updates are planned in its post-launch roadmap. For an immersive first-person dungeon crawler, there's no better pick on Quest 3.
Henry Stockdale
Eye of the Temple
Eye of the Temple is one of the best examples of a game designed from the ground up for VR, and a triumphant room-scale platformer on Quest. In this Indiana Jones-inspired adventure, you'll begin outside a large temple with a whip in one hand and a torch in the other. Work your way deeper into the temple by completing puzzles and navigating platforming obstacles along the way. Thanks to its Quest 3 upgrade, it looks even better on the new headset.
The genius part of Eye of the Temple is that the room-scale approach means almost all movement is real around your play space. Some clever design tricks ensure you never have to worry about walking out of your play space or into your guardian (which also makes it a great experience for those who are starting out with VR). Be warned, though: you'll need a decent amount of space - Eye of the Temple requires a minimum play area of 2m×2m.
Harry Baker
Ghost Town
Ghost Town is one of our favorite new VR games so far in 2025, and it's a strong return for Fireproof Games following The Room VR: A Dark Matter. Set in the '80s, this story focuses on a witch turned ghost hunter and exorcist called Edith Penrose, who now heads up a paranormal detective agency with her flatmate across London.
It's a brilliant supernatural puzzler that delivers a thoroughly compelling mystery, fantastic visuals on Quest 3, and intuitive puzzles that never feel too difficult or too easy. Our only complaint is that we wished it lasted longer, but don't let that deter you. If you're a fan of narrative-driven adventures, we highly recommend checking out Ghost Town.
Henry Stockdale
GOLF+
GOLF+ is one of the oldest hits on the Quest platform, and it continues growing. Playable solo or in online multiplayer, the base game includes three courses, while DLC courses are available as individual purchases or through a subscription pass. On Quest 3, that's even better thanks to visual upgrades around the headset's launch.
It's an impressive experience that still delivers regular post-launch updates, and developer GolfScope revamped the visuals for its original full course back in February, followed by adding new Meta Avatars with legs in April. If you're after a more relaxed VR sports game with friends, GOLF+ is a great choice.
David Heaney
Hotel Infinity
Hotel Infinity is one of the best examples you'll currently find for a true roomscale VR experience. Originally startingas an attempt to adapt Studio Chyr's previous game to VR, Manifold Garden, this adventure puzzle game employs similar techniques seen in Tea For God to make its physically 2×2 meter space feel much larger than it is.
While you can use artificial stick-based locomotion on your controllers to move, we highly suggest you find the space if possible to physically walk around. It's not the longest game and some puzzles can feel relatively straightforward across this five chapter journey, yet Hotel Infinity shines in its execution.
Alicia Haddick
Laser Dance
Laser Dance is the second appearance for a Thomas Van Bouwel (Cubism) title on this list. Supporting dynamic occlusion and Inside Out Body Tracking, we called it "the first essential mixed reality game" in our early access review. Once you've scanned your room, you're then tasked with dodging different types of lasers as you clear the room.
If you're looking to show off what mixed reality gaming can do, Laser Dance is one of the best introductions with its instantly relatable premise. Further updates are planned during its early access period, with promised upcoming additions including an additional laser type, more challenges, and music. We'll be back on the scene when it enters full release.
Ian Hamilton
Maestro
Created by Double Jack and Wild Sheep Studio, Maestro orchestrated a hit last year on Quest with its bold and innovative hand tracking gameplay. A distinctive rhythm game that focuses on classical music, we would've liked some further variety in the base game but found an exciting title filled with style. Since launch, it's received four major paid DLC packs with additional tracks, too.
The five song 'Doom Bound' pack included music from both Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings, while the 'Secret Sorcery' pack included a musical score from Disney's Fantasia. Most recent was 'All Aboard!' with two Pirates of the Caribbean songs, while “La Crème de la Crème” added five free classical songs. Hopefully we'll see more on the way soon.
Don Hopper
Marvel's Deadpool VR
Meta's big first-party title for 2025, Twisted Pixel Games returned to bring us a new VR superhero game with Marvel's Deadpool VR. Playing as the infamous fourth-wall-breaking Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool finds himself kidnapped by an intergalactic producer called Mojo. Soon enough, we're forced into a carnage-filled reality TV show as we go on a campaign to hunt down various Marvel villains.
We believed this action romp "absolutely nails the look, feel, and humor of the titular character’s comic-book world" in our review, giving further praise for its comic book-inspired visuals and voice acting. Though we had a few gripes with its combat and performance, the high points in Marvel's Deadpool VR ultimately deliver a perfectly enjoyable adventure in shorter bursts that's worth your time.
Pete Austin
Pistol Whip
Continual updates and new content have cemented Pistol Whip as one of the best, most stylish arcade rhythm VR games around. Its sarpshooting, sharp-sounding, beat-based gameplay proves even more hypnotic than Beat Saber, and in our 2023 review update, we proclaimed Pistol Whip is better than ever. In this neon-lit shooter, you stream down corridors, blasting bad guys to grizzly tunes, avoiding incoming fire, and trying to rack up the best scores by firing on the beat.
Whereas Beat Saber wants to make you a dancing Jedi master, Pistol Whip aims to teach you John Wick-esque gun-fu with style, elegantly fusing the rhythmic and cinematic elements together into a pulsating, vibrant monster of its own. Since its launch, Cloudhead Games has continually supported Pistol Whip with more content, new features, and extra tracks, making it one of the most entertaining and comprehensive arcade titles available on Quest.
Harry Baker
Puzzling Places
Puzzling Places has been one of our favorite indie experiences available on Quest for a while now, but it plays better than ever on Quest 3. The game uses photogrammetry data to present you with 3D puzzles based on real places. Split into pieces, you can group sections of the puzzle and reference tiles around your environment as you piece the 3D model back together, often accompanied by thematic ambient recordings and sound effects.
On Quest 3, you're able to play Puzzling Places in mixed reality, which brings all the game's elements into your real environment. Not only does it make for a natural and comfortable extension of the experience, but it's just an obvious and solid evolution of an already fantastic concept. Realities.io continues releasing monthly packs and it continues feeling fresh thanks to regular updates.
Harry Baker
Red Matter 2
When it released on Quest 2, Red Matter 2 was one of the most impressive visual showcases available on the headset. Thanks to the developers at Vertical Robot, it now looks even better. The Quest 3 update brings “console-quality” enhancements to the sci-fi adventure with increased rendering resolution, 4K textures, dynamic shadows, and much more. It's a stunning achievement for what was already one of the most visually impressive standalone VR releases.
The gameplay itself is fairly slow- paced, focused on environmental puzzles and occasional combat. It doesn't always land, though. Some puzzles begin to frustrate, especially toward the end, but the beautiful sci-fi vistas and detailed environments often smooth over frustrations caused by occasional gameplay hiccups. It's a great follow-up to Red Matter that's worth looking into.
Harry Baker
Resident Evil 4 VR
We had doubts that bringing a classic flatscreen title like Resident Evil 4 to VR would work. However, it not only survived the transition, but ended up becoming one of the best games available on the Quest platform. This is the full campaign ported into immersive first-person VR with motion control support, which was later followed up with 'The Mercenaries' mode.
There are some elements, like the use of virtual cutscenes, that are less than ideal, but the overall gameplay experience more than makes up for it. For anyone with a PlayStation VR2 headset, we also recommend taking a look at Resident Evil 4 Remake's VR Mode. Even still, fighting off hordes of enemies as Leon Kennedy is a thrilling experience on Quest, and it's a wonderful way to revisit a classic.
Jamie Feltham
Skydance's Behemoth
After its work on The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Skydance Games followed this up with an original action RPG, Skydance's Behemoth. Inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, this giant killing adventure sees you exploring the Forsaken Lands. Behemoth is ultimately at its best when facing the terrifying foes, and this delivers some truly awe-inspiring moments.
While we won't deny that Skydance's Behemoth had a rough start - we noted a few issues in our review - things have begun turning around following a slew of post-launch updates. Alongside extensive bug fixes across the first two patches and combat adjustments, it's also added New Game+, plus a boss rush mode and Arena Mode revamp.
Henry Stockdale
Superhot VR
Superhot VR is one of the oldest games on this list. However, it's still one of the best examples of how VR can enable entirely new gaming experiences. Originally adapted from a flatscreen game, time only moves when you do in this cinematic shooter. Stay still and everything around you will remain frozen too. The second you move your body, everything jolts back to life.
It features an accessible design and a slickness that's rare to find in VR. From last-minute gun grabs to well-placed knife throws, there's so much satisfaction in working through Superhot's levels. Further updates like an experimental 120FPS mode later followed, too. Even in 2025, Superhot VR remains an essential introductory experience worth trying.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
There is no denying that The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is one of the best campaigns available on the Quest system – it's been that way since it first released on Quest a few years back. With the Quest 3 update now available - an upgrade that hasn't yet happened for the sequel, Chapter 2: Retribution - it's never looked better on standalone VR.
After a much-anticipated wait, the Quest 3 update adds dynamic shadows, expanded draw distance, greater environmental detail, additional zombies in open areas, and more. Even before this update, Saints & Sinners set the bar for VR zombie games with fantastic physics-based combat and a meaty campaign set across the remains of New Orleans.
UNDERDOGS
One Hamsa's VR mech brawler roguelike made a big impact last year, earning our Best PC VR Game of 2024 award. UNDERDOGS is a physics-based brawler that uses arm-based locomotion and a comic book-style presentation. In our review, we found this 22nd century underground roguelike fighter quickly set a new benchmark for VR arena combat.
Between its stylish visuals, grimy soundscape and unique character, UNDERDOGS feels fresh and exciting. Numerous post-launch updates have taken this further, such as 'Sandboxxer' with its level editor while the more recent 'Rampage' mode added an endless endurance mode. More updates are planned still, and a multiplayer mode is also on the way.
Pete Austin
Walkabout Mini Golf
Mini golf is actually something that could and should work quite well in VR. Walkabout Mini Golf is all the proof you need; it's an accurate representation of the game that goes beyond what's possible in real life while also remaining authentic throughout.
This ticks all the boxes. Plenty of courses, extensive multiplayer support, different themes for each level and, above all, pinpoint physics that are arguably better than the real thing because there are none of the small snags you'd find on the surface of physical courses. Plus, the game receives ongoing support from developers Mighty Coconut, with regular free and paid DLC courses added over time.
