This year has been stacked with some great VR games and I think these are the best Meta Quest VR games to play in 2025
We have been blessed with some amazing VR releases on Meta Quest this year, and I have been lucky enough to play a lot of them, I am genuinely grateful to be in this position. Now as we are a small outlet, landing on this list might not move the needle much, but I wanted to shout out the games I adored and if this nudges even one or two people to try them for the first time, I will be thrilled.
There are also a few honorable mentions after the main list that I think are worth your time. Now let's get to it.


Arken Age
VR Game of The YearArken Age is our 'VR Game of The Year' because it feels downright sublime. Weapons land with serious bite, the Gravity Mace turns every arena into beautiful chaos, and the AI never lets you go on autopilot. Climbing with those axes is playful, the Meta Quest 3 build is silky smooth, and that final boss fight is VR spectacle at its best. If someone asks for the best Meta Quest 3 game to play in 2025, this is the answer.

Ghost Town
Ghost Town is a love letter to paranormal mysteries. Edith's hunt for her brother drags you through 80s-inspired case files, each puzzle teaches just enough before letting you figure it out, and the reality bending set pieces kept me smiling the entire time. It is gorgeous on Meta Quest 3 and one of the smartest puzzle games on the platform, perfect if you want a story-driven mystery. Ghost Town is GOTY material too, but there can be only one.

Marvel's Deadpool VR
Deadpool VR is messy, loud, and impossible to stop playing. The villain hunts feel like a Marvel theme park, katana and pistol swaps turn arenas into slapstick carnage, and the quips never give you a moment to breathe. It is the exact kind of reckless energy you hope for when Wade Wilson finally gets a VR headliner, and it is easily one of the funniest Meta Quest 3 action games this year.

Surviving Mars: Pioneer
Surviving Mars: Pioneer sinks its hooks in quietly. One minute you are scooping ore in a lonely canyon, the next you are jetpacking between ruins, uncovering ancient secrets, and realizing hours evaporated. Building a thriving outpost in VR feels cozy and grand at the same time, and the Meta Quest 3 version never buckled once, making it a standout VR game.

Into The Radius 2
Into The Radius 2 already feels like a full sequel despite still growing. The new vest system lets you obsess over loadouts, weapons need real upkeep, and each trek into the fog mixes dread with quiet triumph. It takes everything great about the original and makes the anomaly feel even more alive, cementing it as a top Meta Quest 3 survival shooter.

Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate
Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate keeps topping itself. One second you are blasting Mayan warriors with a trench shotgun, the next you are stopping a V2 rocket launch and the next you are having a stroll across the Moon, and all of this feels way too big for standalone hardware. It is playful, bold, and constantly surprising in a way only VR can deliver, which is why it is my go-to recommendation for Meta Quest 3 adventure fans.

Reach
Reach is basically a parkour fever dream. You sprint, wall run, grapple, toss the shield, and barely stick the landing before the next chase kicks off. The underground vistas are stunning, the music swells at the perfect moments, and it nails that cinematic rush you normally only get from playing Uncharted or watching an action movie, making it one of the slickest Meta Quest 3 action-parkour games.

Hotel Infinity
Hotel Infinity is short, strange, and exactly the right kind of mind-bender. Each loop twists the layout in new ways, puzzles feel clever without being obscure, and the finale lands with that perfect puzzle-game snap. It is an easy recommendation when you want something memorable without committing to a 10-hour campaign.

Memoreum
Memoreum drips atmosphere from the first hallway. You dive into distorted memories, fight off nightmares with the morphing Chimera gun, and listen to vents creak while figuring out what really happened. It is cinematic without losing interactivity and shows that standalone VR can still deliver big sci-fi horror energy, which makes it a perfect pick for Meta Quest 3 horror fans.

Zix
Zix moves like an animated music video you can jump inside. You slingshot across arenas, wall run, double jump, and summon weapons with quick gestures, all while neon particles explode everywhere. Every run feels wild, and sticking a slow-motion mid-air slash never stops being satisfying, so keep this on your radar if you are hunting for a fresh Meta Quest 3 roguelite.
Honorable Mentions
- Quantum Void is a surprisingly polished solo-dev sci-fi VR adventure with outstanding visuals, satisfying interactions, and a strong campaign that feels like a steal at its asking price.
- Alien: Rogue Incursion trades pure horror for kinetic Quest 3 firefights, tactile reloads, and an engaging story that Alien fans will love.
- Of Lies and Rain proves how far a small team can go with atmosphere-first design, engaging gunplay and a six-hour campaign full of memorable climbs and firefights.
- Drone Simulator VR nails the physics and control feel of piloting, from three handling modes to FPV racing through industrial maps, making it a perfect $10 skill-builder.
- Fitness Fables disguises a legit workout across 80 levels of Alterterra, mixing boss fights, 25 varied exercises, and polished Quest 3 visuals into one of the smartest VR fitness adventures.
- BEATABLE turns your desk into a rhythm surface, mixing MR hand-tracking taps, claps, and snaps with custom tracks for a refreshingly tactile Quest 3 music workout.
This list is purely personal - these are Meta Quest games I actually played in 2025 and genuinely enjoyed. I'm sure there are other fantastic releases I missed, and I'm still working my way through the backlog.
Upcoming games like Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow or Star Trek: Infection VR could absolutely end up on this list or in the honorable mentions once I get proper hands-on time, but right now I simply don't know where they'll land.
