Going by critic scores and popularity, the top VR games right now are Beat Saber, Half-Life: Alyx, and SuperHot VR. The list updates every day, so new VR releases show up here as soon as they launch.

A VR headset and a PC that is strong enough to run it. PC headsets like the Valve Index or HTC Vive plug straight into your computer, and a Meta Quest can play PC VR games too - over a cable with Quest Link, or wirelessly with Air Link or the Steam Link app. VR needs more power than regular gaming, so check the system requirements on the game page before you buy.

Start with something calm, where you do not move around much. I Expect You to Die is a seated spy puzzle game full of clever traps and dark humor, A Fisherman's Tale bends your brain with puzzles inside a model of its own lighthouse, and Batman: Arkham VR is a short, unforgettable trip into the Batsuit. Once you have your VR legs, try faster games like Doom VFR or the gladiator fights of Gorn.

Yes - After the Fall lets up to four players fight through a frozen, zombie-filled city together, and VTOL VR, a detailed fighter jet simulator, supports online multiplayer too. Want more games to play together, VR or not? See our Co-op Games list.

Some flat-screen games have an optional VR mode - like Star Wars: Squadrons, No Man's Sky and Microsoft Flight Simulator. You will find them in this list after the games made only for VR, so you can play them on a monitor today and in VR whenever you like.
