UploadVR's Best Of 2018 VR Award Nominees

UploadVR's Best Of 2018 VR Award Nominees

We’ve finally reached the very end of 2018 and it’s been quite the eventful year for the VR industry. Not only did new headsets like the HTC Vive Pro and Oculus Go release, but Facebook announced the upcoming Oculus Quest as well for next year. Sony has even sold through three million headsets, which was before Black Friday, so it’s probably even more now.

On the gaming front there haven’t been as many groundbreaking titles on the PC VR side, but PSVR really grew into its own with a slew of amazing exclusives. Overall, this has been an amazing year for VR and we can’t wait to see what 2019 holds.

So we mashed our heads together and put together this full, detailed list of the very best VR games, hardware, and experiences of the year. All lists are ordered alphabetically and we’ve chosen the first listed item as the image to be fair. Unless that item was used in an image already, in which case we’ve used the next down.

We’ll announce the winners next week!
