The Oculus Quest games library has almost reached 50 titles!
Oculus Quest is Facebook's last piece of hardware in its first generation of VR devices. It has six degrees of freedom, and Facebook has made it relatively easy for developers to port their Oculus Rift games to the Oculus Quest. Because of this, there are several games available at the headset's launch.
Available nowNonstop funBeat SaberStaff pick
Beat Saber is one of the most popular VR games across many platforms. In it, you use both controllers and motion tracking to swipe at blocks that are synced to music. None of those words do the game justice, and having it available at launch is a massive deal for the Quest.
LIGHT SABERS!Vader Immortal: Episode 1Editor's Choice
Not a game, technically, but a VR story taking you through some of the adventures everyone's favorite villain experiences in the Star Wars universe. The folks at ILMxLAB have quite the story cooked up for this title, and they're very excited to share it with everyone on Oculus Quest!
Matrix VRSuperhot VRMust Have Title
Superhot VR is one of the games I compare all VR games against. The unique visual style and gameplay make it the perfect VR game, and I cannot wait to use it in the Oculus Quest, free from tethers.

Boxing as Adonis Creed, this game puts you toe-to-toe with your opponents. You can throw punches, dodge strikes, and knock out your opponents in career, multiplayer, online PvP, and Freeplay game modes.
I feel like dancing!Dance Central
VR is the natural evolution for the Dance Central games, after all, they were some of the first motion control games, so it makes sense for them to go to full-body motion too. The music they have in the game sounds excellent, but boy-o, am I going to do poorly at this one.
Western stylesDead and Buried II
Billed as a VR paintball game, Dead and Buried II improves on the original and looks to be an excellent game for the Quest. It could be one of the arena games as well so watch out for that.

Beautiful puzzlerFujii
Fujii is one of those ethereal games that is almost as much fun to look at as it is to play. When you play as characters that are a spirit in nature, it can sometimes feel very soothing. This will be a beautiful game to relax to, I think.
Explosive puzzlesI Expect You to Die
This game puts you into several crazy and dangerous situations. You need to solve each puzzle using your whit and your character's resources and telekinesis. You'll have to do everything from stopping dynamite to beating fires to stay alive.
Wierd and wackyJob Simulator
We all know Job simulator right? It's weird, it's funny, it's weird again. It doesn't exactly simulate a job. Instead, you can throw staplers, smash objects, chug coffee, and more.
IDDQDJourney of the Gods
Journey of the Gods looks pretty epic. Vast sweeping vistas, a cartoony graphics style, and a mix of combat experiences make this a game to look out for. Plus, you get to go full-on GODMODE, so that should be fun.
Clever multiplayerKeep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Solving puzzles is a lot of fun. Solving puzzles in VR is even more fun. Solving puzzles in VR with an exploding puzzle is the best.
The cutest game everMoss
Moss by Polyarc is one of my favorite games to play in Windows Mixed Reality and Rift, so I am excited to see it coming to the Oculus Quest. Leading Quil, the mouse protagonist, around the beautiful world, will be a complete joy with the freedom from cables that the Quest promises.
Under controlOculus First Contact
This is another basic setup to help you get acquainted with VR and the Oculus Quest. In it, you interact with a robot, toss items around, and play with toys inside a virtual space.
Fishing FunOrbus VR Reborn
This game has some excellent looking game mechanics. The Bow, sword, and fishing rely on you getting better at the physicality of it. Hopefully, it doesn't depend on it too much, because I'm old and I suck at physical things. I'm still willing to try though.
I'll raise youPokerStars VR
VR seems to be the perfect place for poker tournaments, and from what we have seen PokerStars VR is a brilliant program for doing just that! You play for keeps, though. Consider yourselves warned, people!

With hundreds of puppets and props, this simple game is a great way to entertain kids in VR. It also has a companion app on iOS, Android, and PC.

Samurai combatSairento VR
In Sairento VR you're a cyber ninja set in a reimagined futuristic Japan. The combat system includes high jumps, slow-motion that's reminiscent of bullet time, and both sword and gun combat.
Picard PuzzlesShadow Point
Puzzle games in VR are fantastic. You get so much space in a truly 3D world to explore, and the developers get that much space to mess with your mind. It also has Sir Patrick freaking Stuart doing the narration, and for me, that's an instant buy.
ArgghhhSpace Pirate Trainer
Space Pirate Trainer is a firm favorite with everyone who plays it. It's a brilliant combination of Bulletstorm and Space Invaders, and, because of the unique way the VR works, all of this is happening around you in a frenzy of neon insanity. Love it.
Classic sportsSports Scramble
We have now confirmed the game that what was once called Project Tennis Scramble, will now be called Sports Scramble and will have tennis and bowling at launch, with baseball to follow. This reminds me of everything I liked about Wii Tennis.

VrooooomVR Karts: Sprint
VR Karts: Sprint is a chance to bring the feeling of Mario Kart to your Oculus Quest. It doesn't always succeed in doing so, but it is still a lot of fun whizzing around.
VR Mos EisleyVRChat
VRChat is both a good and bad thing. Good because you be anything you want to be. Bad because a lot of people want to be awful. If you can find your own niche though, it should be fun.
Magical battlingThe Wizards
You can sling fireballs and spells at your enemies in this action-adventure game. It has you solve puzzles, battle creatures, and cast spells using your Touch Controllers.
Future titlesNutty gameplayAcron
Acron is an interesting looking game that uses both VR and mobile phones to create the gameplay. You are a tree in the VR version, defending your nuts, while mobile players act as squirrels trying to take them. It sounds like a lot of fun for an entire group.
Sunny zombiesArizona Sunshine
Arizona Sunshine is a VR classic, and I'm thrilled that it is coming to the Oculus Quest. If you have never played, it's a high action, high scare, zombie shooter but based in the beautiful Arizona landscape.
Vertigo inducingThe Climb
The Climb is already a fan favorite with Rift users, so it will be interesting to see how it translates over to the Oculus Quest. Having the freedom to move around more should make the game more enjoyable and scarier if, like me, you are afraid of heights. The developers of The Climb stated the game would come to the Oculus Quest in 2019.
EXTERMINATE!Doctor Who: The Edge of Time
Edge of Time is shaping up to be a fun puzzle game for Doctor Who fans. It feels like a point-and-click adventure from the '90s but with the added twist of being Doctor Who canon. It's exciting, and I can't wait to play.
Arena battles!Echo Arena
Echo Arena is an offshoot of the fantastic Lone Echo. You get to fly around as a team of robots and play a version of Zero-G Ultimate Frisbee. It's a lot of fun if you can get over the vomit-inducing movement.
Ping pongEleven Table Tennis
Eleven is a table tennis game that focuses on realistic physics. The team behind the game is very active on the game's Discord channel and is focused on improving game physics and realism. There isn't a confirmed release date for the Oculus Quest, but it's in private beta testing now and should be released in 2019.
Stealth actionEspire 1
Stealth games should be everywhere on VR systems, but they aren't. Espire 1 hopes to fill the void with an action FPS game featuring a lot of stealth options. You can even sneak up behind people and say FREEZE to stop them in their tracks!

Bow fightingQuiVR Vanguard
QuiVR, which allows you to shoot a bow and arrow in VR, has been around a little while now and has its own cult following. With the Quest, you get the freedom of movement that's sure to enhance your experience significantly. It's currently only available for the Go, but the game's description mentions cross-play support explicitly with the Oculus Quest so it should arrive in the future.
Helping islandersRaccoon Lagoon
In this game, you help sailors who have been marooned on the shore of your island. There are eight climates on the island, and in them, you can cook, fish, farm, mine, paint, and more. Raccoon Lagoon doesn't have a release date listed but is in the Coming Soon section of the Oculus Store for the Quest.
Racket mashupRacket: NX
Rather than playing racketball in a rectangle, Racket: NX places you inside a glass dome where the ball can bounce off of every surface. You can use your racket and its tractor beam to control the ball and destroy targets in single or multiplayer modes. The game has a teaser video stating that it's coming to the Quest.

Get to gaming!The Oculus Quest has dozens of games available within a month of its launch and has plenty of titles along the way. These titles range from melee combat, to shooters, to nightmare-inducing horror games. The game that will get you on your feet and be the life of any party is Beat Saber. Its easy game mechanics mean anyone can jump in and start playing right away, but its range of difficulty levels and variety of songs will keep even the most skilled veterans engaged.
If you prefer a combat shoot'em up, then you should check out Robo Recall: Unplugged. It has intuitive controls and allows you to blast robots with pistols, shotguns, and grab machines and fling them at each other. If you're on a budget, Vader Immortal: Episode I is a great VR title that only costs $10. You can wield a lightsaber and battle bots in the training dojo or follow the story mode.
While we do our best to make sure every game available at launch arrives on this list, we don't always catch them all; we aren't Ash Ketchum. We will continue to update this as and when we can, to make sure it is as up to date as possible.
