We've rounded up the best free Oculus Quest 2 games that are also available for the original Oculus Quest. 01 of 12 You're the Sorcerer's Apprentice: Elixir Oculus.com What We Like Immersive graphics. Creative use of hand tracking controls. Ideal for new VR gamers. What We Don't Like Very short experience. Not so fun when played with a regular controller. As an apprentice in an alchemy lab, you're tasked with concocting potions, overseeing experiments, and taking care of magical beasts. Elixir is like a tutorial for first-time VR games, but it's a half-hour of fun for anyone who wants to dabble in some wizardry. The game relies heavily on hand tracking, so make sure you play with the motion controllers. Play ‘Elixir’ on Meta (Oculus) Quest 02 of 12 A Virtual Pet in Virtual Reality: Bogo SideQuest What We Like Bogo is adorable. Fun mini-games. Great for kids or anyone new to VR. What We Don't Like Small play area. Super short. In the tradition of Tamagatchis and Nintendogs, Bogo is a virtual pet that is basically part dragon and part dog. Take care of Bogo and watch him evolve differently depending on what you feed him. He's easy to please, loves getting pets, and requires no cleanup. Play ‘Bogo’ on Meta (Oculus) Quest 03 of 12 Free Multiplayer Flying Frisbee: Echo VR Oculus.com What We Like Free multiplayer. Large community of active players. Cross-play with Oculus Rift.

The developer, Echo Games, has its own community-run Discord channel for Echo VR where you can join or form an esports team. Play ‘Echo VR’ on Meta (Oculus) Quest 04 of 12 Fishing From Your Couch: Bait! Resolution Games What We Like Relaxing fun for all ages. Soothing soundtrack. No motion sickness. What We Don't Like In-app purchases can add up. Occasionally tedious, just like real fishing. What's more relaxing than fishing? Perhaps doing it in VR from the comfort of your living room? Bait! includes a surprisingly in-depth story mode that will take you to four lakes, each with different species of fish. No boat, fishing rod, or actual bait is required. Play ‘Bait!’ on Meta (Oculus) Quest 05 of 12 For When You're in a Mood: Liminal LiminalVR.com What We Like Frequent improvements based on user feedback. Provide feedback to get coins. Over 60 VR experiences. What We Don't Like Must pay to save rotating experiences. Occasional bugs. What kind of mood are you in? Or, rather, what kind of mood do you want to be in? That's what Liminal wants to know. Based on neuroscientific research, Luminal offers a rotating sampler of experiences that make you feel calm or energized from guided meditations to space combat. Play ‘Liminal’ on Meta (Oculus) Quest 06 of 12 Never Forget: Anne Frank House VR AnneFrank.org What We Like Beautifully detailed graphics. Available in multiple languages. Educational and emotionally engaging. What We Don't Like Few objects are interactive. Needs a Help menu. If you've never had a chance to visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, you can now explore the secret annex where her family hid from Nazis during World War II in virtual reality.

Pay to unlock custom add-ons. What We Don't Like Not very exciting to play alone. Plain graphics. There aren't a ton of free multiplayer Oculus games, but Gym Class: Basketball tops the charts. Compete with friends and strangers in a variety of multiplayer modes or practice your shooting skills in single-player mode. If you don't mind paying for GM Mode, you can unlock skins to personalize your court, avatar, and ball. Play ‘Gym Class: Basketball’ on Meta (Oculus) Quest 08 of 12 Metal Gear Meets Cyberpunk: République VR Steam What We Like Lots of gameplay variety. Excellent voice cast. Insightful developers commentary. What We Don't Like Older versions had bugs, but they are mostly fixed. République VR is a stealth game from the makers of Metal Gear Solid and Halo. Hack your way through the surveillance state to help rescue a woman who is on the run from a totalitarian government. Fans of the Metal Gear, Mass Effect, and BioShock series might notice familiar voice actors like David Hayter, Jennifer Hale, and Khary Payto.

The room-scale work environment makes it feel like you're really sculpting or painting. You can share your creations, get feedback, work together with other artists, and even export your work.

What We Don't Like Simple graphics. Can be tough at first for new players. Gun Raiders isn't just about shooting your way to victory. There's also a lot of wall climbing and jetpacking involved. Join up or face off with friends in multiple modes like Free For All and Team Deathmatch. Keep an eye on the Gun Raiders Discord channel for updates on upcoming tournaments and events.
