Do you wonder how much space VR games take?
Let’s find out.
How Big Are VR Games?
Games can range from 0.1 GB to 42+ GB in size. Our research shows that the average game size is 1.68 GB.
The Best VR Games
Beat Saber
It’s playable on Oculus Rift, HTC VIVE/STEAM, and PS4. You play by moving your hands to the beat of the music and cutting through obstacles using lightsaber blades.
You slash blocks in particular directions, dodge bombs, duck objects, and suddenly it’s an awesome dance party.
Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality
Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift, Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality has been out for quite some time now. But if you haven’t played it yet, you’re missing out!
It feels like a job simulator, but it’s even better than that because it’s actually a real game.
Moss
You can play this game on any VR headset, including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive (Windows), PlayStation VR, and Google Cardboard.
Moss gives players the role of a helpful spirit who guides them on a massive journey through an enchanted forest.
It’s an amazing experience playing Tiny Tower. You feel like you’re part of a living miniature city.
Wipeout Omega Collection
If you don’t own a PlayStation VR (PSVR), Sony’s excellent WipeOut collection makes for an excellent game on PS4.
The VR modes are included as a nice extra and happen to be some pretty good racing games in VR right now.
Firewall Zero Hour
Like Farpoint, Firewall ZERO HOUR is designed to take full use of the PlayStation VR Aim rifle control system.
If you want a competitive team-based shooter for PlayStation 4, then this is the one to get right now.
Catan VR
You can play this game on an Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, Gear VR, or any other headset that supports VR. It’s one of the best board games ever made.
It’s a really good fit for the Oculus Go, which has simplified controls and a mobile design that makes it easy to get started.
Tetris Effect
It’s called Tetris Effect because it was inspired by the real-life cognitive phenomenon known as the “Tetris effect.” Designed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the man behind Rez Infinite and the classic game Lumines, this is an amazing version of Tetris for PlayStation VR.
With music and visuals synced with your movements, you can enjoy playing Dance Central 2 on PlayStation 4 without using the headset. However, it’s even better when you use the headset.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
You can experience Skyrim in VR on Steam, HTC Vive (with an optional headset), Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR.
You can play the entire thing from start to finish, but if you want to see some of the best parts, you can use your hands to move things around, cast magic, or even fight monsters. It’s one of the better ports of an RPG into VR.
Werewolves Within
You can play Werewolves Within on Oculus Rift, PlayStation 4, and HTC Vive if you’ve ever wanted to experience what a party game in virtual reality might be like.
Being able to know which people to believe and which ones to avoid makes for an easy and really effective experience. Surprising that there aren’t more games like this in VR.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission
PlayStation VR exclusive Sony’s amazing Mario-like platformer isn’t just one of its best VR titles, but one of the best video game titles, too.
You’re surrounded by big, bright, colorful, and hyper-real environments as you play through a series of platforming puzzles to save lost robot friends.
The levels, puzzles, and clever tool kits that seem to grow out of your PlayStation controllers are inspired by Nintendo games.
Fallout 4 VR
It works well enough on HTC Vive but there are some bugs. We’re talking about an unfinished version of a two-year-old game that wasn’t originally intended for VR.
But being able to fully immerse me in Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic wasteland with a virtual Pip-Boy strapped to my actual wrist is an absolute joy.
Plus, it’s one of the very few full-length, open-world games in VR which means a big enough world you could literally play for weeks on end.
Thumper
Playable on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR. You’re on the highway to Hell, banging your head to the beat. Your steed is a silver beetle traveling at the speed of sound, on a collision course with the devil himself.
He’s trying to stop you from reaching the end of the level by using everything he has at his disposal. You need to press buttons to the beat to avoid his attacks and defeat him.
Lone Echo
Zero gravity allows for an immersive experience but requires players to physically interact with their environment.
Interacting with objects is eerie, yet natural and production quality is top-notched. It’s a VR environment that feels believable because it feels real.
And that’s without talking about the co-op mode, which is like the Battle Room from Ender’s Game movie. It’s like the Battle Room but with a disc instead of a gun.
Eve Valkyrie
Playable on HTC VIVE, Oculus RIFT, and PS4 ZEN is the opposite of EVE: Valkyrie. It’s an intense dogfight where the only moment of calm is when your ship breaks apart and your body freezes in deep blackness.
But if you’ve ever wanted to pilot a starfighter, it feels like a dream come true.
You don’t need an Oculus Rift to experience EVE: Valkyrie. PC and PlayStation 4 gamers can enjoy the game on a flat screen or television, and they can also battle against VR gamers.
The Invisible Hours
It’s playable on HTC Vive, Oculus Rif, PSVR, and Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality (Windows MR).
It’s not a video game in the traditional way where you choose what to play instead; this old-fashioned whodunit is all about being in just the right place at just the right time to watch seven suspects who might have killed the famous inventor Nikola Tesla in his isolated manor house.
