Gods Of Gravity

Control The Cosmos

Top Free Games For The Oculus Quest: Which is Better? - 13

The space game Gods of Gravity has a lot of original twists. First of all, you are in space and have authority over celestial bodies, such the sun. It’s a very exciting experience since, after sending ships there, you can control planets and other stuff.

You can even compete with your pals to see who can control the greatest number of celestial objects. The nicest thing about Gods of Gravity is that it takes place mostly in space. Since there aren’t many free Oculus Quest games that transport you there, this is a special experience you should try.

Harvest VR

Casual Real-Time Farming

Top Free Games For The Oculus Quest: Which is Better? - 14

Where there are indie games, there are farming games. The two have gradually become ubiquitous over the years. And with how easy it is to develop for the Quest, this platform is no exception. While there aren’t a ton of options out there, Harvest VR manages to be both one of the best farming games in VR, while also being free on the Oculus store. Plant seeds, grow crops, tend to farm animals go mining, fishing, cooking; your options are surprisinly expansive.

It’s not an incredibly refined experience, but it has content to keep you occupied. Development for the game has ended, so what you get is what you will always get. But for this price tag (free), we can’t complain. It’s available via the Oculus Store App Lab, so be sure to search for the game’s full name.

Gun Raiders

A Multiplayer Shooter Akin To Halo

Gun Raiders is one of the best first-person shooters on the Oculus Quest, so you’ll be glad to hear that it’s free to play from the start. There are four different game modes for you to choose from, including Team Deathmatch and Free For All, so you can play solo or with a group of other players.

If you like standard FPS games, then you’re sure to love Gun Raiders and everything in it. Additionally, updates are still released for this game, so you’ll never become bored with the endless content they have in store for the future.

Elixir

Who Can Say No To A Free Drink?

Elixir is a one-of-a-kind experience like nothing else you’ll see on the Oculus Quest or elsewhere. Although it’s a fairly short experience, it’s fun to play since it throws you into an unknown world where you have to experiment with all sorts of different things.

From mixtures to dragons, there’s no telling what you’ll encounter before you enter the world of Elixir and experience it for yourself, so prepare for everything magical. Although Elixir is short compared to other games on the Oculus Quest, you’ll likely want to experience it a few times due to how much fun it is to play.

Horizon Worlds

Find Other Link Minded VR Fans

Horizon Worlds is a hub for you to interact with other players socially. You can travel to different places, play fun games, and meet people that you’d never interact with in the real world. With so many different places to visit and people to meet, it’s difficult to get tired of a game like this.

If that wasn’t enough, you can even create your own locations within Horizon Worlds, which your friends can then visit. VR social spaces are becoming more popular by the day, and Horizon Worlds is one of the best you can play on the Oculus Quest; plus it’s completely free.

First Steps

Another Meta-Approved Experience

Top Free Games For The Oculus Quest: Which is Better? - 18

While not the longest experience, First Steps is one of the more refined free Oculus Games for the Quest. Developed by Oculus themselves, this is a showcase of sorts, highlighting what the headset and controllers are capable of. It’s secretly a tutorial, in a sense, helping you become familiar with some commonly used mechanics in other games, like throwing, shooting a weapon, and using your hands to interact with objects around you.

It’s easy to get into, fun to play around in, and has a colorful and aesthetically pleasing art style. This makes it one of the best games to have friends or family try when they are interested in experiencing VR for the first time since it showcases a variety of functions. So while you may not get too much replayability from it, keeping it around for guests is a great idea.

Most people like Roller Coasters, so it’s no surprise that theme-park rides have become a popular genre for virtual reality.

You only have access to a few maps in the free version of Epic Roller Coasters; however, they’re more than enough to give you a taste of what Roller Coasters feel like in virtual reality. If you enjoy the game, then you can purchase more tracks. However, you can also keep riding the same few tracks over again. If you get motion sick easily, then you may want to avoid Epic Roller Coasters.

Games like Laser Tag help keep Rec Room fresh, even after you’ve played it for a long time. There aren’t many social games on the Oculus Quest headset, so Rec Room fills an important role, especially since it’s a free experience.

Chill Out With Some Fishing

Gorilla Tag

A Childhood Classic, Reimagined As Primates

Top Free Games For The Oculus Quest: Which is Better? - 23

In Gorilla Tag, you can play tag with other players; however, a special feature sets Gorilla Tag apart from similar VR games. Instead of using a joystick or other similar button to move around, you need to use your arms to move through the environment. This mechanic is difficult at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature.

There are objects throughout the environment that you can climb using your arms to escape from the player chasing you. Gorilla Tag is a great example of innovative motion controllers fitting perfectly into a virtual reality game. Gorilla Tag is still in the experimental stages, so you may encounter bugs while playing it.

The games you can play inside VR Chat vary over many genres; however, there’s something for everyone in this game, even if you simply want to hang out in a virtual reality space and chat with your friends. Since VR Chat is free, you can play it immediately after getting an Oculus Quest without any extra charges.
