Oculus headsets are some of the most budget-friendly options on the market, the latest Quest 2 costing $299. However, you still need to buy apps for it. Most of the popular Oculus games are in the $20-$30 range, and such prices can add up quickly. That’s why in today’s article we will recommend you top free apps on Oculus that you can download now without paying any money!

Gorilla Tag

Gorilla tag is a perfect first game to try with your new Oculus headset. It’s just like a normal real-life tag game, except you’re a gorilla! What makes it special is that you have to use your arms to move, so forget pressing buttons. You will actually have to move your arms back and forth to launch yourself into the air. There are two game modes, one is a simple tag game, and another is “infected” mode, where runners become catchers if they are caught. Gorilla Tag has reached 1.5 million unique players just 10 months after release and is continuing to be one of the most popular Oculus games. It’s definitely worth a try!

Echo VR

If you’re looking for a more competitive gaming experience, Echo VR is just for you. It’s often called the “first VR Esport” because you’re competing in two teams of three in a fast-paced zero-gravity arena. The goal is simple – throw your disc in a goal to score points. It’s basically a sci-fi frisbee, but there are many floating objects that you can use to move through space, and you can utilize various moves and abilities to fight your opponents. If you’re looking for a game that’s easy to play but hard to master, Echo VR is a perfect choice.

Superhot VR Demo

Oculus offers many free demos of their most popular games. However, we recommend the Superhot VR demo as the best one to try. Despite being released over 6 years ago, it’s one of the best VR games to date. It’s an action-packed shooter with unique aesthetics and game mechanics. The thing that makes Superhot so special is that time moves with you, meaning that if you’re standing still, everything around you will freeze in time. However, the faster you move, the faster everything else is going to move, including the enemies and their bullets flying straight at you!

 Streaming Apps (YouTube and Netflix)

Playing games on VR is a special experience. However, sometimes you just want to lay back and enjoy your favorite content on streaming services. That’s where Oculus comes in, as it offers free apps for YouTube and Netflix! Now you can watch your beloved creators, TV shows, and movies in virtual reality. It results in a completely different watching experience that is comparable to movie theaters! However, it’s important to mention that Netflix doesn’t offer any original VR content, while YouTube is full of 360° videos, which allows you to make the best of your Oculus headset.

VRChat

Finally, if you’re tired of playing games, but want to have a more interactive experience than watching TV shows, the VRChat app is the one you should try. It’s basically a fusion of social media and virtual reality. In VRChat, you can create your avatar, meet other people and build unique worlds. It’s super immersive because you can fully sync yourself with your avatar, allowing you to express yourself to the fullest.
