By Quick answer: The best VR games span rhythm, horror, sports, and pure spectacle — Beat Saber, Superhot VR, and Job Simulator remain must-plays on Meta Quest 2, while Horizon Call of the Mountain and Gran Turismo 7’s PS VR2 mode showcase what Sony’s headset can do. Below are seven titles worth building your VR library around, plus the accessories that make them genuinely more comfortable and immersive to play.
Why These Seven Games
VR game libraries are large but uneven — for every genuinely great title, there are dozens of tech demos that wear off after twenty minutes. These seven have held up as reliable, replayable, genre-defining experiences across both the Meta Quest ecosystem and Sony’s PlayStation VR2 platform.
1. Beat Saber (Meta Quest 2)
Still the genre-defining VR rhythm game years after release, Beat Saber has you slicing coloured blocks to the beat with dual lightsabers. It’s the single most-recommended VR title for good reason — instantly understandable, genuinely great exercise, and endlessly replayable with its large official and community song library.
2. Superhot VR (Meta Quest 2)
Time moves only when you move in this stylish first-person shooter, turning every encounter into a slow-motion puzzle of bullet dodging and precise timing. It’s one of the clearest examples of a game designed specifically around what VR does that flat-screen gaming can’t.
3. Job Simulator (Meta Quest 2)
A comedic, low-stakes introduction to VR interaction, Job Simulator has you performing exaggerated versions of everyday jobs with genuinely funny physics-based comedy. It’s a favourite first VR game for newcomers and a reliable party-demo pick for showing friends what VR feels like.
4. Population: One (Meta Quest 2)
A battle royale built specifically for VR, Population: One lets you climb, fly, and build cover in ways flat-screen battle royales can’t replicate, making it a genuine social multiplayer draw for Quest owners who want ongoing, competitive replay value.
5. Resident Evil 4 VR (Meta Quest 2)
A full VR reimagining of the survival-horror classic, Resident Evil 4 VR puts you directly in Leon Kennedy’s boots with hand-tracked weapon reloading and genuinely tense close-quarters combat — one of the most complete full-length campaigns available on Quest.
6. Horizon Call of the Mountain (PS VR2)
Built specifically to showcase Sony’s PS VR2 hardware, Horizon Call of the Mountain puts you inside Guerrilla’s post-apocalyptic robot-dinosaur world with genuine climbing mechanics, bow combat, and the platform’s signature haptic feedback and eye-tracking foveated rendering.
7. Gran Turismo 7 (PS VR2 Mode)
Already one of the best racing sims on PS5, Gran Turismo 7’s PS VR2 support drops you directly into the cockpit with a genuine sense of scale and speed that flat-screen racing simply can’t replicate — pair it with a proper racing wheel setup for the full effect.
Accessories That Make These Games Better
A great VR game is only as good as your comfort and setup. A few accessories genuinely change the experience:
- Extra facial interface/comfort straps for longer sessions of rhythm and fitness titles like Beat Saber
- Play space clearing — room-scale titles like Population: One need real floor space to shine
- A racing wheel setup for VR racing titles like Gran Turismo 7 — see our Gaming collection for the Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best VR game for beginners?
Job Simulator is widely considered the best starting point — its comedic, low-pressure interactions ease new players into VR movement and hand tracking without the intensity of combat or fast movement.
Do I need PS VR2 specifically for Horizon Call of the Mountain?
Yes, Horizon Call of the Mountain is built exclusively for Sony’s PS VR2 headset and PS5, using its specific controller and eye-tracking features.
Which is better for VR gaming, Meta Quest 2 or PS VR2?
Meta Quest 2 is fully standalone and doesn’t require a console, making it more flexible and portable. PS VR2 requires a PS5 but offers tighter integration with PlayStation exclusives and generally sharper visual fidelity when connected to the console.
