Top 25 Best Meta Quest 2 Games – Spring 2025
We've added some new entries and updated our list of the 25 best Quest 2 games. Check it out here:
After the best Meta Quest 2 games? Here are our top recommendations.
Six years after the original Oculus Quest headset debuted, the content library available on the Meta Quest platform is bigger than ever. That makes picking a list of the best Meta Quest 2 games tough. With Meta Quest 3 now available and the new Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset allowing for far improved visuals, we've prepared a separate list of the best Quest 3 games.
While Quest 2 and Quest Pro have been officially discontinued, many developers are continuing to launch games that are compatible with the older headsets. As such, we're keeping this list ongoing with our picks for the best Quest 2 experiences and games available for this generation. There will be some differences as our other list takes Quest 3 enhancements into consideration, too.
In the past, we've taken a ranked approach to choosing our top 25 Quest 2 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.
Best Meta Quest 2 Games: Honorable Mentions
We have to draw a line somewhere with these lists, but we don't want to ignore the wider library when there are so many great games available. Here are a few titles that are just shy of making the top 25. Some were previously on the list and later nudged off by newer titles, while others were beaten out by another game in the same genre.
With that in mind, you should definitely check out: The Room VR, Eleven Table Tennis, A Township Tale, Blade and Sorcery, Song in the Smoke, Ghost Giant, I Expect You To Die 2, Until You Fall, Outta Hand, Ghost Signal, Unplugged, Carve Snowboarding, Warplanes: WW1 Fighters, Gorn 2, Bonelab, Star Wars: Vader Immortal Trilogy, Tentacular, Ultrawings 2, What the Bat?, Green Hell, and The Last Clockwinder.
While this list is specific for Quest 2, all the listed games will also work on other Quest headsets like Quest Pro and Quest 3 as well. That excludes the original Oculus Quest headset following Meta's decision to end Quest 1 support, though some older games may still be playable on it.
This may change as more upcoming VR games get released, but for now, here's our top 25 best Meta Quest 2 games.
A Fisherman’s Tale
A Fisherman’s Tale is a unique, mind-bending puzzle game and easily one of the best Meta Quest 2 games available. In A Fisherman’s Tale, you solve intricate, scale-based puzzles in which you work… with yourself. Its best puzzles utilize a miniature model of the lighthouse the game’s set in. Lift the model's roof, and you’ll see a mini-you imitating your every move. Try to keep your brain from breaking as you hand yourself giant objects, or reach down to poke your head.
It’s a trip, to say the least. Throw in a poignant story about self-acceptance, and you have a short, sharp VR game that will stay with you much longer than most multi-hour epics. If you're still keen for more, then you can check out the sequel, Another's Fisherman's Tale (which was later renamed to A Fisherman's Tale 2) as well.

Among Us 3D
Among Us 3D brings the viral flatscreen sensation into VR on Quest 2, translating the original game brilliantly. It adds new depth to the experience, featuring top-tier VR design and the added immersion of experiencing this social whodunit in virtual reality means that it offers something familiar yet original compared to the flatscreen release.
Since launch, it's been rebranded as Among Us 3D (or Among Us 3D: VR on some platforms) to coincide with a flatscreen edition on PC. Fortunately, the game supports cross-platform multiplayer, so you can play alongside your friends on PC, PC VR, Pico, and PSVR 2. Schell Games continues adding post-launch updates, too, like various Limited-Time Events.

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.

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.
This game isn't a tight linear experience, but if you're looking for an expansive, near-overwhelming RPG to dig into, then Asgard's Wrath 2 is a great option. It's worth keeping in mind that the game runs at a lower render resolution on Quest 2 and hits a 72Hz refresh rate compared to 90Hz on Quest 3. It's since received an enhanced graphics mode on Quest 3, and the previously limited time events can still be experienced on a rotating basis.
Harry Baker
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 fully-fledged 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 series yet. Just be aware there is a noticeable resolution drop on Quest 2 when compared to Quest 3.
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, and more. We're bound to see these releases continue in the following months.
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 other titles on this list, Cubism is an experience that is perfectly designed for the current capabilities of Quest hardware.
The minimalist design, reserved soundtrack, and its simple nature all come together to create a fantastic and polished end product. It's also regularly updated with support for the latest cutting-edge VR features – its post-launch updates include support for passthrough mode, hand tracking, and 120Hz. If you’re a fan of puzzles that put your mind to work, then don’t sleep on Cubism. Solving each level is infinitely more complex than you’d expect and incredibly rewarding.
Harry Baker
Demeo
Demeo isn't a perfect tabletop game by any means. But it is a really good one and, more importantly, its first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience makes it feel like a genuine social event in a way that no flatscreen game – and even few VR games – have ever really matched. You pick a class and tackle randomly generated dungeons, but the game's punishing difficulty means sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to multiple hours.
Demeo is one of the best Quest games that's only gotten better with post-launch updates, including the recent technical update. Free updates provided new campaigns to play through, like Reign of Madness, Curse of the Serpent Lord and more. It's a must-have for any Quest 2 owner, and Demeo Battles is also available if you're interested in a PvP spin-off.
Jamie Feltham
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.
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 – it's 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.
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 at least 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 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
Iron Man VR
Originally released as a PSVR exclusive, Iron Man VR flew its way onto Quest in 2022, making some drastic improvements to the experience along the way. While the technical constraints of the system marred the PSVR release, Iron Man VR on Quest 2 is a different beast.
There are practically no load times, and switching to a standalone system without wires makes the gameplay more immersive than ever. You'll embody Tony Stark and his suit of armor in a thrilling and engaging story-driven campaign, featuring combat and traversal that adds up to an addictive superhero experience.
Harry Baker
Little Cities
Little Cities is the best city simulator game available on any VR platform, let alone Quest 2. It perfectly distills the formula down into a focused approach that emphasizes city management through design. Instead of getting bogged down in menus, the ebb and flow of your city will be determined by how you lay out the roads, key services, and various elements provided to you.
It does all of this while being keenly aware of intelligent VR design. Everything in the game is designed to work optimally and intuitively in a VR headset. Even if you're not a fan of the city simulator genre, Little Cities is visually stunning and charming enough for anyone to enjoy. It's also received several post-launch content updates, including the Attractions Update, Sandbox Update, Snowy Island DLC, and more.
Harry Baker
Metro Awakening
Developed by Vertigo Games, Metro Awakening is an origin story based on the post-apocalyptic series by Dmitry Glukhovsky that takes place five years before Metro 2033. It's an impressive first-person shooter packed with impressive atmospheric immersion, all while delivering a strong narrative that grapples with difficult themes of grief and mental health.
Though our review noted some issues with repetition and sometimes clumsy reloading, combat generally feels satisfying. The enemy AI can offer a considerable challenge as you weigh up being stealthy or going in guns blazing. It's worth a look and Awakening on Quest 2 also supports cross-buy with Rift, providing you with a PC VR edition too as an added bonus.
Don Hopper
Moss: Book 1 and Moss: Book 2
While Moss and Moss: Book 2 are separate games, we've included them as one entry on this list as they flow into each other – Book 2 picks up the story moments after the end of Book 1. Moss helped prove that third-person VR experiences can make for some of the absolute best content out on the platform right now. You guide an adorable little mouse named Quill through diorama-sized levels, solving puzzles and taking on fearsome critters in sword-based combat.
While it's mechanically refined, Moss’ real claim to fame is the bond you build with Quill over the course of the adventure. Playing as a larger companion to the tiny protagonist, you really start to connect with her as you work together to overcome obstacles. It feels very much like a team effort, which is quite a remarkable feeling in itself.
David Jagneaux
The second installment – Moss: Book 2 – is technically a stronger, longer sequel, but realistically feels more like a continuation of the same journey instead of a completely fresh adventure. That being said, it does add some new mechanics that innovate on the original's combat, as well as offering a wider range of environments and vistas than the first title. The Moss series is not one to miss.

Pistol Whip
Continual updates and new content have cemented Pistol Whip as one of the best, most stylish arcade rhythm VR games around. It's sharpshooting, 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 2.
Harry Baker
Population: One
Population: One is VR's version of Fortnite – and it's done really well. Matches take place on a massive map where squads of three battle it out to be the last ones standing. It's a solid shooter with great VR mechanics for climbing and flying - however, that also means it can be an intense experience in terms of comfort for some players.
If you want a competitive shooter fix with a Fortnite-like battle royale structure, Population: One is your best bet. It has cross-play support with other headsets, a Phoenix Royale mode that arrived in 2024, and it's also free-to-play on Quest. Plus, it has cross-platform multiplayer support, so you can play with friends using other headsets.
David Jagneaux
Red Matter 2
Red Matter 2 is a great sci-fi adventure and one of the most impressive visual showcases available on Quest 2. After producing a similarly stunning experience with the original Red Matter, developers Vertical Robot doubled down on creating a compelling and gorgeous sci-fi game with this sequel.
The gameplay is fairly slow, focused on environmental puzzles and occasional combat. It doesn't always land – some of the puzzles begin to frustrate, especially toward the end – but some beautiful sci-fi vistas and environments supplement any occasional hiccups in gameplay and pacing.
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 2, 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 received a New Game+ mode, and further changes are due to come.
Henry Stockdale
Starwave
Starwave was one of our biggest surprises in 2024. Developed by Tigertron and Skymap Games, this involves hitting notes in time to the music to complete constellations. In a genre dominated by Beat Saber, this interstellar VR rhythm game offers a unique premise with considerable variety across its tracks, earning a strong recommendation.
The base game includes 36 different tracks, and it's since received post-launch support with the paid 'Be Strong' DLC. While it's unclear whether further DLC will follow, we hope to see more music packs complement this wonderful rhythm game further in the future.
Alicia Haddick
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.
Jamie Feltham
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. It set the bar for VR zombie games and the entire medium alike with ridiculously entertaining physics-based combat that has you wrestling with undead hordes, throwing every ounce of effort into every swing and stab.
But this isn’t just a silly sandbox. Saints & Sinners packs its action into a full, meaty VR campaign that sees you trekking through the remains of New Orleans. Add in human enemies, side missions, and the ability to kill zombies with a spoon, and you have one of the deepest native VR games on the market. Thanks to an obscenely good port, Saints & Sinners is one of the best Meta Quest 2 games.Jamie Feltham
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. Previously released on Quest, Steam and Pico, this 22nd century underground roguelike fighter 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. Further changes are planned still, with a multiplayer mode 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's 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.
