Beat Saber
Beat Saber is one of the most iconic Oculus Quest 2 games.
It’s a rhythm action game – a bit like Guitar Hero, but you’re slashing through blocks using lightsabers.
The game is loaded with great music, is endlessly joyful (and repayable), and is a perfect showcase for VR.

Eleven Table Tennis
There’s not much to say: it’s table tennis, but in VR.
The physics are spot-on, and there are loads of mini games plus an AI opponent that will really test your skills.
But perhaps the best bit is the multiplayer mode, where you can face off against real opponents – many of whom are…very, very good.

Layers of Fear
There are so many great horror games on Oculus that it’s hard to choose.
But Layers of Fear is great, taking you through a genuinely creepy mansion (and a thrilling story).
There are loads of scary moments and compelling puzzles to solve.
As such, this is a very good game to stream to the telly with mates around. Fear abounds.

Audio Trip
This is a fun alternative to Beat Saber – a rhythm action game that’s a bit more dance-y.
You’ll be tasked with punching and tapping an array of beats while listening to music.
And if you crank the difficulty up, you’ll find yourself getting a proper workout. Just be sure to wipe down the headset afterwards…

Racket: Nx
This is a bit like tennis, or maybe squash. But in the future. And way cooler.
You play with a sci-fi racket and a supercharged ball, aiming for specific areas on the walls of a glass dome you’re inside.
It takes a surprising amount of skill to master, and is genuinely great fun.

Asgard’s Wrath (Rift Store only)
OK, this isn’t strictly an Oculus Quest 2 game.
You’ll actually need a gaming PC and an Oculus link cable, because this game is only available on the Oculus Rift store – and weighs in at around 80GB.

It’s a bit like Skyrim in VR, with exploration, puzzle-solving, and a proper inn where you can chug down a beer and smash things against walls.
