Best Roblox VR Games
Project SCP
You can play Project SCiP with VR or without VR; however, it’s a lot of enjoyable to handle the weapons and attempt to get out of the facility if you’re actually there in the game.
It’s a first-person shooter game, but it isn’t that competitive because you’re shooting AI enemies instead of other people. You can choose different characters to help you in your escape, as well as a variety of different weapons.
Opposer VR
Opposer VR is an early-access game that is playable in VR. It features a lot of unique weapons and maps, but there are still some bugs and issues.
You can get the Nuclear Pistol, if luck is on your side, or hit an opponent with a crate. It’s advertised as a fighting game, which means there are plenty of different options for playing that don’t just involve shooting people.
VR World Beta
Playing games in VR is one of the most enjoyable experiences available in VR Roblox. Other than VR Hands, of course.
The game is still in beta and gets updates from time to time with new features and ways to enjoy the game.
SVR – Simulated Virtual Reality
Unlike most games in the VR section of the Roblox store, this one doesn’t require you to buy a VR headset. It lets you play in VR even if you’re not using a VR headset.
There are other games out there that try to simulate the VR experience, like Virtual Reality Hands (VRHands). These aren’t quite the same as actually putting on a headset yourself, but they can still be pretty fun!
Vibe VR
Vibe VR is yet another fun game with loads of different activities to play with an Oculus Rift headset, including table football, wrestling with other people, and a full-blown darts board.
It’s not the best Roblox video game out there, but there are usually around 30 or 40 other people online to play with. Maybe you could try playing the keyboard for them?
Sked’s Playground
Sked’s Playgrounds is a fun game where players must work together to complete an obstacle race.
You can even decide not to help them and simply throw them around the playground if you want, as there are no limits to the possibilities in this VR game.
VR Islands
There are lots of things you can do in VR Island besides playing games. You can use the pool table, shoot paintball guns at each other, or even burn the non-VR players using the stove.
Whatever you make it as you roleplay in this virtual world is always better when you’re joined by a few people.
Noodle VR
If you want to play Roblox games, you can either be a VR Noodle or choose to become a Classic Roblox Player, but obviously, VR has all the power.
They’re not just given loose noodles for arms; they can even use them to fight! As long as they don’t attack people, they won’t get hurt.
It has been designed so that everyone can interact with each other regardless of which platform they’re using.
Conclusion
Virtual reality is a great way to immerse yourself in a completely different environment. There are many different types of games available for VR headsets, and you can find something that suits you perfectly.
Whether you prefer action games or puzzle games, you can find something that works for you.
