The 18 Best Free Games on Oculus Quest 2

Now picture this scenario - you step onto a grassy field reminiscent of the one made famous by Rocket League and abide by its ball-scoring rules with the armor & power of a bulky mech. That's what makes up the entirety of everything we love and what you'll soon feel the same way about in Ultimechs. You can take on the competition via 1v1 or 2v2 battles where blasting the ball out of the sky with your mechanized fists and attempting to pull off some crowd-popping goals is the name of the game. What makes all that even sweeter is the fact that you'll be doing it while you're fully immersed in this game's virtual playfield.

Blaston makes it abundantly clear that you'll only achieve victory if you keep this message in mind - Never. Stay. Still. You'll need to bob and weave as if you're competing in the toughest boxing match of your life while you're playing this PvP competitive shooter. Slow-motion "Bullet Time" battles come into play here as you use your whole body to dodge incoming bullets and try your best to blast your foe to secure the win. You'll get a kick out of building the perfect loadout from Blaston's eight weapon types and varied weapon attachments.

While Mission: ISS: Quest isn't much of a traditional VR game experience, you should still spend some time with it thanks to its incredible simulation feel that makes you feel as if you're floating around in space. You'll take on the role of an astronaut here during your time spent (virtually!) on the International Space Station. The zero-G feel of it all will blow your mind during your time spent engaging in spacewalks and docking a space capsule for the very first time. Paying millions of dollars to go into space for real isn't a reality most of us will experience. At least we have Mission ISS: Quest to mimic the real thing!

Gun Raiders offers that traditional style of competitive multiplayer action that's deeply rooted in the world of first-person shooters. The fast-paced firefights that erupt in this game are hella fun, especially since you'll get to witness all the close-quarters combat from an up-close viewpoint. The modes are plentiful here, too - there are "Assault," "Control," "Free-for-All," and "Team Deathmatch" options at your fingertips in this intense VR shooter.

At the time of this writing, Ancient Dungeon lets you explore its precarious locale at extra no cost. Now's the best time to hop into the beta and enjoy all the classic medieval fantasy tropes that make up this blocky adventure game. The Minecraft visual stylings of Ancient Dungeon are inviting and familiar, so even the young ones will gravitate toward this one. Avoid those traps, use your weapons to fend off baddies, and uncover hidden treasure during your time spent in Ancient Dungeon.

We're going to hop into another game that should be on any Oculus Quest 2 owner's list that loves some medieval fantasy escapades. Instead of perusing through a dank dungeon in this game, Elixir actually sets you up as a lowly lead sorceress' apprentice. Don't breathe so easy quite yet, though - you're not going to be safe from harm here. Your duties entail watching over mythical monsters and keeping tabs on all the crazy concoctions that erupt in your alchemy lab.

It's pretty nerve-wracking for orchestral music maestros to oversee and command a massive gathering of instrumentalists in front of a crowd. Maestro: The Masterclass takes a little edge off all the pressure associated with that talk task by giving you a VR interpretation of that epic experience. You'll take the leading role here for a symphonic concert that includes music from across all sorts of genres that include Electro, Jazz, and Hip Hop. Using your hands to beat tempo, cue musicians, and guide crescendos provides one of the best rhythm game experiences for VR headset owners.

For music fans that want something more akin to attending a J-Pop concert, allow us to introduce you to the extra lively VR rhythm game Kizuna AI - Touch the Beat! You can choose to be a passive onlooker of all the onstage antics of Kizuna AI in "View Mode" or get a lot more active as music blocks come down the screen for you to knock down with your sabers. If you think Kizuna AI's "Hello, Morning" is a catchy bop, then you'll get the most mileage out of this poppy VR experience.

Shooting hoops in VR sounds like a great time, doesn't it? Gym Class Basketball offers that digital pastime on Oculus Quest 2 devices and works as good as you imagined it would. Putting your shooting, passing, and dribbling skills to the test across digital courts from all across the globe will most likely turn into your latest VR gaming addiction. Gym Class Basketball is definitely a good time for VR aficionados looking for a great solo and multiplayer-themed sports simulator.

Pavloc: Shack (which at the time of writing is in beta mode) produces the same tense moments and careful team coordination that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is known for. Handguns, assault rifles, sub-machine guns, and so much more are at your disposal here as you can perfect your aim during training sessions and hop onto the battlefield during 5v5 firefights. It feels so satisfying to pull off a crucial kill as soon as one of your enemies runs up to you with a machine gun waving in your face.

We get that a lot of you might not want to spend all the money needed to have a great week in Las Vegas. For those same folks, we're going to point you to an amazing VR game that gives you the virtual experience of hanging out and spending big money at the casino. PokerStars VR features poker, blackjack, roulette, slots, and craps in game sessions against other live players - gotta keep that poker face on at all times since you'll be staring at your opponents in the face during those heated VR competitions.

The childhood activity that had all the kids in the neighborhood going crazy at all times of the day is undoubtedly tag. Gorilla Tag brings back that classic game, lets you don different colored gorilla skins, and get into wild chases as you try to tag other players & avoid getting tagged yourself. There are four different variations on the classic game of tag to enjoy here - the traditional rules are in place for three players, four players can join the fun via "Infection," a fun variation named "Hunt" is available, and "Paintbrawl" focuses on a team vs. team paintball skirmish where slingshots are at your disposal.

Going out for a day of fishing is one of those go-to pastimes that are passed down from generation to generation. Bait! brings that calm activity to the world of VR and lets you do it across eight biomes in a digital world. One of the best fishing games out there right now earns its spot on this list of the best free games on Oculus Quest 2 thanks to how much content it throws your way - with over 60 types of fish to capture, four-player multiplayer sessions, and a nice assortment of fishing equipment to use, Bait! provides a fun (and dry!) way to enjoy fishing in your living room.

Serious artists and even folks that just love to casually draw/sculpt might want to dedicate some time to this one. Gravity Sketch lets you enter a virtual studio to interact with an intuitive 3D creation tool and draw up 3D models of whatever your imagination can conjure up. The best part about this game is how you can collaborate with your friends to create anything you desire while chatting about ideas over headsets. Just imagine the creative possibilities that can come from two fashion designers linking up in Gravity Sketch and you have an idea as to why this art simulator is so revered.

The Battle Royale genre isn't just a part of traditional non-VR gaming nowadays - it has found its way onto VR headsets via some unique takes on the popular "last person standing" competitive multiplayer mode. Hibow doesn't give you a whole bunch of firearms to run into battle with - it actually arms you with futuristic bows and arrows that can be swapped out to affect your combat loadout (do explosive and blinding arrows excite you?). The deeper you get into Hibow, the more you'll become invested in its regularly updated catalog of heroes, maps, game modes, weapons, and seasonal leagues.

While Tamagotchi's are currently out of style, the act of raising one's very own creature surely hasn't. Bogo lets you become the proud owner of a cute alien pet that you can feed and play some fun minigames with. While you're entertaining your new companion, you'll also have some time dedicated to figuring out what you can do and activate within a virtual play space similar to ancient ruins. Keep playing long enough and everything will expand to further capture your childlike curiosity.

Rec Room provides a nearly unlimited amount of activities to do in the form of custom-created content. Sure, you can just hang out with your virtual besties and have a quick chat. But we implore you to play all the quirky games Rec Room has to offer and even put your creative juices to good use by making some of your very own. And thanks to the implementation of an item called the "Maker Pen," you can produce even more cool living elements, random objects, and entire worlds!

Another virtual chat room/social hub that's worth hopping into is this one!
