The 10 BEST NEW VR Games in 2024! // New Quest, PCVR & PSVR2 Games

We are officially one third of the way through 2024 so what does the rest of the year look like for the BIGGEST NEW VR GAMES? I've compiled my top 10 best upcoming new VR games for 2024, with a couple of honourable mentions as well, and honestly 2024 is looking really strong for top tier new VR games and experiences for Quest 3, Quest 2, PCVR and PSVR2, there's PLENTY to look forward to. However I didn't have much in the way of left over games that DIDN'T make this list, so we could do with a couple of new VR games showcases and announcements to pad out this year and beyond with some more heavy hitting experiences. Whether you're into shooting zombies, story driven puzzle adventures, intense first person shooters, combat flight simulators or spooky survival games there should be something for everyone in this top 10 upcoming VR games for 2024 video but let me know down in the comments if I've missed any of the new VR games you're excited for.
As always these aren't the ONLY new VR games we're likely to see this in 2024, these are just the games that have confirmed release dates or are known to be aiming for a 2024 release so keep your eyes peeled for some last minute surprises, new VR games like to drop out of nowhere with little to no marketing and we're definitely due a couple of showcases for new VR games (the Meta gaming showcase and the Upload Summer showcase are on their way). For now though lets take a look at my picks for the best new Quest 3, PSVR 2, Quest 2 and PC VR games launching in 2024...

I love that the #1 spot went to a game that hasnt shown a shred of gameplay and was only teased literally a few days ago

[@matbeedotcom]

Similar to #10. Why bother even featuring it?

[@mph38]

Probably got paid

[@BlakeBlackstone]

When you say things like "we are 1/3rd into 2024", I just have an existential crisis. Also Asgard's Wrath 2 has a segment where you are climbing a giant monster. It's pretty crazy.

[@ninjabiatch101]

I was gonna say "Asgard's Wrath 2 has some pretty big monsters." Lol

[@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264]

Playing right now, so good!

[@rasmusf5615]

quick question. can u play asgards wrath in first person presective?

[@ninjabiatch101]

@rasmusf5615 Basically all of it is first person. I guess you could make an argument the puzzles kind of aren't, but it is in lore.

[@iambravvo]

Man people who love shooters are eating good I just wish there was more rpg games

[@Ruhrohraggy7]

Exactly!

[@CrispyChips007]

definitely excited for Metro

[@ChrisHavok]

I'd be happy to get another flat Metro game at this point, but the VR Metro looks incredible

[@GJB22]

Into the radius 2 is number 1 for me.

[@VRitasium]

Can't wait for Skydance's Behemoth!!!

[@DARK_KATACLYSM]

Is it for quest 3 also?

[@VRitasium]

​​@@DARK_KATACLYSMyes it is for PCVR, Quest (2 and 3) and PSVR2

[@DARK_KATACLYSM]

@@VRitasium thanks looks awesome so far

[@starvr]

Aliens in VR, no thanks, the films shit me up enough thanks, I've had enough heart attacks. LOL

[@mitchellp7739]

Alien isolation is the scariest game I’ve ever played. If they do anything that in VR I might actually die

[@tobiasmyers3505]

​@mitchellp7739 Yeah. I'm nervous to play it. I've had nightmares about Xenomorphs. I love the first 2 Alien movies, and actually like Prometheus, too.

[@TheGreatMajima]

​@@mitchellp7739Well, you can play Alien Isolation in VR. 😅

[@mitchellp7739]

@@TheGreatMajima it’s a janky mod though. I’m not a fan of mod conversions due to the limited interactivity

[@Healthy_Toki]

@@mitchellp7739 It's still very immersive and worth the time.

[@Haruchai01]

Aliens Rogue Incursion is top of the list obvs. Also looking forward to Into The Radius 2 and Metro especially 😁 (Also just as the name John Wick crops up in commentary for Gunman Chronicles we get the stairs scene from 4. If this wasn't an accident, kudos on the editing 😉) Wonder if The Wanderer will have an upgrade option 🤔

[@wanderervr]

An amazing lineup! We can't wait to see what you think of Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate. 😁

[@tobiasmyers3505]

The original is beautiful.

[@viktorianas]

Gunman Contracts on hardest difficulty is my favourite VR experience of all time, and I'm primarily sim racer and og VR user since 2017.

[@bluebell1]

I love your videos and humor! Thanks Ben!

[@Robonogo]

Missed opportunity to call it “In2 The Radius”

[@jiereowens]

This is a great video! Definitely helps, I’m an aspiring creator looking for content to make on VR. How do you come across these fantastic games? And some of the recording setting and wacky for some games. Any tips?

[@Cofaciano]

Thanks for another great list, as always. 😀 Hope that the following games prove them self great enough for you to mention them on a future video: Whitewater VR - extreme kayaking adventure, Tomb Explorer VR, Subside( you have done one already ), F1 24, Geronimo, Uboat - The silent wolf VR(PCVR), Taskmaster VR, Pirates VR: Jolly Roger.

[@Qwuiplash]

Gunman contracts looks really fun, i've just finished alyx so i'll have to give this a shot soon.

[@JoeBauers]

Beardo-why do you think Metta is unable to land a great racing, flying, or space flight game? I especially want a high end, adult racing game like Gran Turismo

[@MrEDET]

That's not possible without PCVR. The Quest it not capable of running high end games like that standalone.

[@kcadventures1454]

​@@MrEDET yeah, I was really hoping the quest 3 would bridge that gap but it feels more like a quest 2 pro than a next gen headset.

[@MrEDET]

@@kcadventures1454 A wireless hmd having the same power that modern vr capable pc's have - maybe in a year or 10 ;)

[@scenenuf]

@@MrEDET Do you use Quest Games Optimizer? Have you played Bone Works? Have you played Red Matter 2? The Quest 3 is more than capable of pulling off a decent flight SIM or racing sim or space sim it really isn't that hard it's just resources and funding, there's just not enough people using the quest for developers and investors to throw that much money into developing something that's that high fidelity. Which is infuriating because there are still a lot of people with quests; when it comes to people who have the quest will typically buy those really good games. So if there's 2 to 5 million people that own quest threes you're more than likely going to get 2 to 5 million sales on that game as long as piracy protection is in place, which i'm not really for because i pirate all my games.... It's just way too easy currently and Meta really hasn't put in enough safeguards. And I'm not working currently.. could also be another reason why there just aren't as many companies developing high fidelity games for the quest because it's just way too easy to crack and play pirated games. I am especially keen for the Wanderer game. If that's coming to the quest finally, that looks incredible, hopefully will be an official quest 3 port so it's not going to be on the quest 2 and restricted and held back due to that because i feel like the quest 3 is more than capable of pulling it off, Seeing those divisions will have much higher budget than what the bone works devs had and to be honest man like they were an indie development team and bone works does look and feel good especially with quest game optimizer like you can make it look quite sharp.

[@IrishShea]

Some decent looking titles on this list, Aliens being my number one too, Metro being my second, cannot wait!

[@TheTechBasement]

Metro Awakening is definitely on my radar! I have been waiting for this one.

[@shaunmorrissey7313]

Wanderer for me, love the first incarnation

[@ninjabiatch101]

I feel like Metro 1 and 2s linearity lend themselves really well to VR. I hope its of decent length. I could see it being like Paradise Hotel, amazingly tight but super short. I hope not though.

[@iwantalot]

Don't understand how people can say psvr2 needs more games when most of these are psvr2 and will be the upgraded versions. Fingers crossed for returnal vr , looking forward to madison with FDR and metal hell singer.

[@nerddeku9675]

returnal VR I already think it's difficult to happen if Sony continues not to release any new exclusives for the PSVR2, well, we'll see next year, Madison VR I'm very excited even more now that it has FDR support and 90fps, if it comes in a good resolution too and use the vibration of the sense controls and the headset well, then it will be the perfect version.

[@iwantalot]

​@@nerddeku9675rumours are housemarque will announce returnal vr tomorrow, let's hope not long to wait.

[@hawk1079]

Because psvr2 only have like 5 games the rest are just quest ports 😂

[@theamazingmikelee9857]

@@hawk1079 They aren't "Quest ports" they are multi platform. You could say that the PS5 has only 5 games and the rest are Xbox ports by that logic.

[@hawk1079]

@@theamazingmikelee9857 have you even played them on psvr2?? They're basically no difference same cartoonish clay looking games lol it's hard to accept it but psvr2 only have horizon re8 re4 and gt 🤣

[@Treebsquire]

Some suprising omissions from this list like Madison VR, OVR Dark, Metal Hellslinger VR and Riven. With those mentioned here and these games, I actually think this is looking lika a pretty good year for VR so far. Hopefully some more things will be announced soon.

[@Skrenja]

Madison VR is terrible. It has some of the worst controls I've ever experienced in a VR game. It makes me sad because I was really excited for it.

[@CrispyChips007]

wasnt expecting so many exciting titles!

[@supadre3239]

Thanks for the news 😎👍

[@ninjabiatch101]

"Rogue Incursion" leads me to believe its going to be a Roguelike. Which, not bashing it. A Cosmodread style game in the Alien universe would be sweet.

[@Kolgarth]

For the people who are into shooters, I highly highly recommend checking out Contractors Showdown. So much fun.

[@TheRealBillix]

Calling Behemoth "high-fantasy" is crazy BB

[@dragoonseye76]

Exciting news on ITR

[@Junior_Paul]

Another Aliens FAN here. I have them all and know them back to back. Watch the first 2 atleast 2- 3 times a month...Can't wait for the new Incursion game. Might try the mod for the Fireteam Elite. Awesome!

[@MaxCheesefist]

Wanderer and Metro Awakening really look like being my types of VR game 👍

[@scottmahony4742]

Thanks for the list. I just got a quest 3 a few days ago. Haven't really played anything. Think i roasted my left eye. using immersive for too long to work on some stuff. I am not sure what to get. I dont want to just buy this try that all over the place. If i got one game what should it be?

[@XGamer-ft7gi]

I’m getting a psvr2 in 2025 I hope some cool new games come out 😊

[@applecorp]

The subheading "rogue incursion" for the Alien game does not fill me with confidence.

[@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264]

"Rogue" is just a word, it doesn't have to be a reference to roguelike

[@MrDeathwishVR]

Could rogue incursion be a rogue like?

[@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264]

Don't think so, it's just a coincidence i hope

[@ianburge3119]

I am very excited about the prospect of Metro, teaming up with Vertigo should create a fantastic game. I love both Arizona Sunshine and particularly After the fall, i have held back on playing AS 2 so far while they get through the inevitable patches that are landing since release. What their games seem to do very well are the mechanics of shooting, accuracy etc.. and add to that the atmosphere the games create, which should lead to an excellent combination with the Metro world

[@SpringChickensOnlyMan]

Kinda happy #1 was an alien game because what I personally wanna do in vr is jump onto rockets and go to space to start shooting aliens

[@markthorliebmann]

It's a shame to see most VR developers leaving PSVR2 in the dust. As I cannot afford to own both, I am left feeling like I made the wrong choice, despite the few core games we do have.

[@iwantalot]

Most of these are on psvr2 and will be upgraded versions. Madison out his week with housemarque teasing a returnal announcement tomorrow.

[@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264]

I own both PSVR 2 and Quest 3 and my wishlist of PSVR 2 games is twice as long as the Quest 3 one. Just sayin'

[@markthorliebmann]

I see people making good points here, I am not saying there are no games on PSVR2, definitely not. But as I have not had the chance to play PC VR games, I find myself much more interested in games like HL: Alyx, Blade and Sorcery, and Into The Radius.

[@kayra-bg2si]

From the 10 games on the list 7 have been announced for psvr2 and one of them is a psvr2 exclusive...

[@cirmothe9]

Aliens Rogue Incursion is going to be a rogue like. Mark my words.

[@carlbode666]

U played the little known world flight bb ? Has q3 update and new fighter jet to fly ... think google earth flight sim ...fantastic from altitude ..worth a look 😊

[@kennethbrady199]

Alien vr can't wait need to buy the quest 3 now lol

[@dataterminal]

Not gonna lie, I'm a huge Alien fan as well, but there is no way I'm playing any Alien game in VR. As an 80s child growing up with the films, that's a big nope for me, too scary lol. Into the Radius 2 is probably my number one I'm looking forward to. The first game was awesome, one of those games of VR that define what VR is. But damn, Metro Awaking VR is... PSVR gamers lucky... really feels like we're getting top tier games that are far better than flatscreen counterparts this year.

[@borisdanyukov8267]

Behemoth looks as good as you say it to be. That looks like a game that would be worthy enough to replace all other games that will come for the next decade

[@shirleycastle5170]

Thank you

[@Juggalo42240]

So looking forward to Behemoth!! Also attack on titan

[@NghiaPhawp]

Is gunman vr available in the oculus store?

[@TargaryenJedi]

As a vr player who lives for shooter games, gunman contracts looks like it’ll be the best VR shooter to come out to date. I’m just sad it’s only PCVR

[@dragoonseye76]

I don’t mind rougelike games. They are getting a bit dull in advancements tho

[@xSeRzHanTx]

You should try AoT by Slavka, easly the best Attack on Titan game. It has Titan shifting, almost limitless precedural open world and the best movement that is fast and has controlled flips.

[@xSeRzHanTx]

It even has the rumbling where a wall of colossals destroy everything, and makes my 4070ti cry

[@aparou647]

[@Dude_Slick]

I like VR but it clearly caters to a total other audience than me. For instance, when you say you can never have too many VR zombie shooters, for me that would be one. Shooters in general are an instant no go for me. Even games like Half Life Alex are a turn off because of the gun play. I am very attracted to the puzzle aspect of the Wanderer game, but to play it I would have to pay the price of the shooting aspect that many may find as a bonus rather that a hindrance. I would love to see the classic adventure game style brought to VR. Just imagine a VR Full Throttle or Monkey Island.

[@alk7393]

Have you tried Red Matter 2? I recently started it. I gather there will be some combat at a certain point in the story but so far its just a puzzle adventure game and that's where the focus lies.

[@Dude_Slick]

@@alk7393 I have not. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip. I've been looking at L.A. Noire VR Case Files. The whole detective vibe isn't really my thing, but the game play shows how feasible a proper VR adventure game is.

[@alk7393]

@@Dude_Slick As a fan of the original L.A. Noire I would like to try that myself but I think RM2 is closer to the kind of thing you're thinking of and it has a nicely thought out control system that makes it very interactive. To be honest it reminds me of playing"The Dig" back in the day. I would also suggest checking out The 7th Guest. From what I have played so far they've done an excellent job revitalising the game while staying true to the original. I haven't tried Myst VR but that's maybe another you could look into.

[@VRitasium]

GTA San Andreas VR is probably in development because there was an image leak of what looked like GTA San Andreas alongside the Quest 3 lite leak. Furthermore, there were job openings a month ago for a GTA VR AAA title

[@9xXGameOverXx9]

hope its true

[@KitHavok]

I saw something about 4 weeks ago saying it was also still heavy into development but is 💯.

[@tobiasmyers3505]

It's gonna be a killer app. Especially if they do multiplayer, but that would be another level of ambition.

[@suheri]

Also just guessing, but I see an opportunity late this year introducing the quest3s for 300-400 bundled with GTA when quest 2 slowly phases out.

[@scenenuf]

Probably be a launch title with the next Quest S or whatever. It's going to be called the cheaper version of what the Quest 3 is.

[@Guitar387]

There doesn't seem to be a decent AAA arcade style racer made for VR, lots of sim racers but nothing for fun casual players. Something like forza horizon for VR would be great.

Wish there were less realistic action games on this list.

[@shogunassasin6980]

[@ChrisHavok]

I'd be far more excited to see GTA Vice City VR over San Andreas.

[@theamazingmikelee9857]

None of these are new; they are upcoming. Bit of a misleading title for this one, Beardo.

[@Vortechtral]

Saying a game looks amazing from a cinematic trailer is wrong. Behemoth from a trailer looks like a great video, but as a game, well it will probably be like any other sword and board game. There is always the high hopes, just never get hopes to high.
