50 BEST VR Games Of All Time [2024 UPDATE]

[@thevrcoach]

thevr.coach/affiliate/ Here's a list to all of the games that make you sweaty in the video with 10% off for Quest users. [boxing, swordfighting, sports, fitness, rhythm]

[@BlackMarketHoney]

Great list! I can recommend the Quest Games Optimizer. Some of my favourites games are Carve Snowboarding, The Climb 2, Superhot, Presentiment of Death, Lies Beneath, Phantom Covert Ops, Crashland, Space Pirate Arena(if you have enough room) Racquet NX, Star Wars Tales from the Galaxies Edge, Vader Immortal Series, Affected-The Manor, Thumper, A Fisherman's Tale. Too many to list!!!

[@thevrcoach]

Thanks for the recommendations, probably should have been a top 100 list :D This is why I get so triggered when people complain that there's no good VR games

[@BlackMarketHoney]

@thevrcoach Yeah. It's impossible for me to do a top 10 or 20. More like top 50! I would have to add most from your list, plus mine listed above. I am on the same page as you, there are plenty of games to get through. My backlog is probably bigger than my best of!

[@benmaks]

Quest Games Optimizer is really solid. Though I use it on Q3 specifically to upgrade the graphics of Q2 games

[@martyn94ma]

What's this space pirate arena? Couldn't find it?

[@blocky_luke]

Aint no way bro wrote half life *ALUX* 💀💀💀

[@scenenuf]

Ancient Dungeon is up there as a must have easily for standalone Quest 3, with QGO it looks and plays as good as nstive PCVR. Lego Brick Tales too is crazy good fo a chilled sesh.

[@Menachen_Gaming]

feel like we still have a long way to go until we get some truly incredible games.

[@juanjosejaramillo9347]

you havent tried half life alix, probably you don't have a good pc

[@FiLiPPiiMaX]

Contractors Showdown looking good tbh

[@ricomajestic]

Any VR games where you can fly and maneuver in the air like a superhero perhaps you would need to control your flight to go into tunnels or various obstacles?

Yes!! He listed Into the Radius right after HL Alyx - this guy knows what he’s talking about 👍

[@gammasmash1924]

The PCVR mod for Portal 2 is worth mentioning.

[@thevrcoach]

Nice one! I need to check that out, loved it on flat screen

[@JavierRuizGarcia]

Yeah you defniitely need to try more puzzle games. I'd recommend "I Expect You To Die" (start with #1), Floor Plan 2, Time Stall, A Fisherman's Tale, The Last Clockwinder.

[@thevrcoach]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@SpadeSkillz]

Great list here!!!! Have them all except time stall. All of the Expect you to Dies are awesome!!!

[@Say-tc6ss]

Battle Talent is worth your time. It has a in game mod menu😊

[@codygrimes6157]

My main 2 reasons for getting a quest is the drunken bar fight game and blade and sorcery

this list is so underrated. great job

Glad you think so! Thanks

But still missing cube arena bruh

[@MrCuddlesOnPS3]

Got my headset coming in this week so this'll give me a lot to work with! Thank you!!

[@KoalaOnYT_]

you most likely have it by now but be careful with what youre doing work up through the games if youre on quest they have comfort things like i would not recommend just jumping into bonelab right away haha

[@kingkongga]

I love red matter 2, still can't forget how breathtaking the view on the bridge of a space station in the orbit of a planet, i spent like 20 minutes just admiring the atmosphere, Does anyone have a recommendation for a game with such view where we can just sit back and enjoy the scenery of outer space?

[@AwkwardPSN]

not out of space but Walkabout mini golf has gorgeous scenery and soothing back ground music in each level .

[@SpadeSkillz]

Download the ISS experience. It's multiple hours of being up in the ISS with a 360 view of everything. VERY neat.

[@ricomajestic]

any VR games where you can fly and maneuver in the air like a superhero or perhaps a game where you strap on a wingsuit and go base jumping?

[@kristaps2010]

thank you for extensive list. I'm new in VR so this is really useful.

[@thevrcoach]

Anytime! And welcome to VR, hope you are enjoying it.

[@RayzaNC]

Pretty good list but some glaring ommissions such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission (my number 1), Gran Turismo, The Lab, Synth Riders, FitXR, Star Wars Squadrons, all easily deserving of the top 50 imo.

[@thevrcoach]

I agree with all your additions, the only problem is I don't know what to kick out! Perhaps next time it has to be a top 100

[@yahyakhan1623]

i think you should try vail vr , i am playing since it`s release and damn its literally the best multiplayer game right now but very few people join the server to play still loving it

[@mordecaisflye]

Such a well made video. Great job

[@Maleekus]

bought my kid Ghosts of Tabor, love to see him enjoying himself with friends

[@mikeroberts6213]

Good list. While I haven’t played all of these I will say my personal favorite vr experience is from into the radius with the Stalker mod. But be warned stalker mod is no joke in difficulty so i wouldn’t start with it unless u just like pain that much. Base game I also had a great time with. Stalker mod makes all the changes I would say are perfect for improving the game

[@farshatowalex]

I miss Cube Arena in this list for sure. The first MOBA with classic map like DOTA 2 or League of legends with Minecraft graphics. This sounds insane. You should definitely put it into the next top games even it’s still in app lab and still in development

[@MrWeirdo626]

Great list and I will be playing some of these games but the I expect u to die series are great games and if u haven't gotten the chance to play them u should

@@frederiklist4265 Yo! Wanted to check in, did the Quest 3 arrive and did you have some fun working out with it?

[@frederiklist4265]

​@@thevrcoach Hey, that's so nice of you! To be completely honest it has been a very bad experience so far. It's now day 4 and I am still not able to purchase anything on the Quest Store and Meta's support is absolutely useless. I tried the trials of some games, worked great, but if they won't allow me to buy any software, I will have to return it again. I called my bank the first day I got it and they confirmed it's an error on Meta's end, but they don't seem like they are in a rush to try to solve the issue. Apparently they think it's "suspicious activity" that I am trying to purchase software for the Quest 3 I just bought...

[@zacharyurvina6089]

Great video! Was wondering how optimized the vr mod for Deep Rock is because Idek it existed and can’t wait to try it out?

[@thevrcoach]

Very solid experience. You can pick up and play your existing characters. I play the engineer class, and lining up platforms was a bit difficult, and the mining is a bit clunky but general shooting and game play is great!

you missed Serious Sam VR which is a BLAST

[@YourPersonalLawer]

blade & sorcery now that its 1.0 is INSANE

[@Respawn2Much]

Trover saves the universe. Rated M for some topics discussed, but otherwise great game. Better than most lists though.

[@mikegc3816]

Good set of games, how did you get yourself into the Kayak VR kayak on the video?

[@thevrcoach]

That's with a software called liv . TV. Helps you record vr games In Mixed reality, each game has different overlays for example, in the first clip with broken edge it puts armor on you, and in kayak mirage, it puts you in the kayak. There's about 120 or so supported games, it's a little tricky to get set up and you need a decent computer, greenscreen and camera. Would you like me to make a tutorial on it?

[@mikegc3816]

@@thevrcoach I think that would be a great idea if you have time, especially how you did the kayak bit

@mikegc3816 I'm rocking a 4070 now. But I have used liv in the past with a 1080ti and 2080. I haven't had much trouble with lag except in kayak mirage. That game runs pretty hot and had to turn some settings down

Superfly is pretty fun if you just want to fly around a city.

[@MattRappaportVlog]

Have MQ3 for about a month (has og psvr and loved superhot, spent time in rec room and SPARC rocked) -- I haven't tried all the games but so far spend the most time in Beat Saber, Vegas Infinite & Pop One. Hyperdash was also cool and it's fun to roam around meta horizon worlds.. some bars and their little games and the 2 arena rumble ones. Which ones are better?

[@legocreator768]

Hello Coach, if ya haven't already, I highly recommend giving Resonite a look. Its a bit like VRChat but also very different, with a slowly growing community and extremely active developers. ^ ^

[@thevrcoach]

Thanks for the recommendation @legocreator768 , it has solid reviews on Steam too!

[@beyankin8064]

Also Hotdogs Horseshoes, and Handgrenades if u like super detailed, realistic guns and reload mechanics

[@thevrcoach]

Great reccomendation

[@Professor_Bugs]

Guardians Frontlines is not mentioned? Its the best game on quest in my opinion.

[@xl4712]

For me Wipeout Omega Collection Superhot Beat Saber Contractors Contractors Showdown Dragon Fist VR Stride Fates Half Life 2(VR MOD) Quake(VR Mod) Boneworks Compound Breachers Subnautica(VR M0D) Risk Of Rain 2(VR Mod) Eleven Table Tennis The Climb 2 Half Life Alyx(I do think it's a well made VR game, but it played it way too safe imo) Many other games I have started or yet to full dive into to

@ fair enough fair enough!

[@BrandevTech]

I would like to know how you record VR still images. I'm using a projector on the wall so the family can watch the game.

[@thevrcoach]

What do you mean by still images? To screenshot, you hold the meta button and press the trigger once When I record I try to record using liv which allows you to film yourself in Mixed reality but only some games are supported. If not then I use OBS, and either capture my gameplay directly from my desktop if I'm playing pcvr or if it's native quest the I'll stream it to a browser and capture that. I sometimes use the built in recording for quest but the audio desync drives me crazy
