The Oculus Quest 2 is a low-cost, simple-to-use headgear that provides a diverse variety of experiences for a wide range of users. Granted, the content collection is highly skewed toward games, with many of them aimed at seasoned players who know their way around a controller. So where do you begin if you're new to gaming—or if you want to show off your headset to someone who hasn't played before? We're delighted you inquired...
Nearly 300 games and applications are now available in the Quest gaming collection. There are some large games among them, such as The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, which is a terrific 'gamer's game' but not simple to take up for someone who is just learning how to use a controller (VR or otherwise). Fortunately, there are plenty of Quest games for beginners and seasoned gamers alike that are basic, straightforward, and a lot of fun.
This collection includes something for everyone, whether you're totally new to VR and seeking terrific introduction games or an experienced VR player looking for easy-to-play games to showcase for less experienced friends and family.
First Steps – Free
First and foremost! Oculus' First Steps is a brief demo experience that comes pre-installed with your Quest. You undoubtedly went through it the first time you set up your headset, and you can go over it again at any time by accessing it from your headset's app library. While it's not a game you'll play every day, it's a terrific experience since it not only introduces people to the potential of virtual reality but also leads them through all of the controller buttons and shows them how to catch and toss objects.
As a result, First Steps is one of the best VR experiences for first-time VR players, especially those who aren't seasoned gamers. This is a terrific place to start if you're demoing the headset for a group of friends or relatives. Not just because it's short and pleasant, but also because at the conclusion, the user may choose between two short (5 minutes) experiences—a shooting game or a dance game—allowing them to finish their first VR encounter with whatever they want.

Beat Saber – $30 (free demo)
Beat Saber is without a doubt one of the most approachable virtual reality games available. This is due to the fact that it does not require the use of any buttons (except for pulling the trigger a few times to navigate the menu). It's not only simple to play, but it's also a lot of fun! Beat Saber is a virtual reality rhythm game in which you use lightsabers to slash blocks to the beat of the music.
Beat Saber is fantastic since it's almost universally comfortable, in addition to being interesting and simple to play. This is because you play by standing still rather than moving about in the virtual environment.
I prefer to take new players through the Tutorial section (which you can locate by selecting the question mark symbol at the bottom of the main menu, then clicking the 'Play Tutorial' button); it's only a minute or two long but covers the essentials. You might also want to be aware of the 'No Fail' option (located on the left side of the music selection menu), which prevents the player from failing the song due to too many notes being missed.
This is a game that belongs in everyone's VR collection since it is simple to play yet challenging to master.

Superhot VR – $25 (free demo)
Look no farther than Superhot VR if you want to increase the ante on the action. This is an action game with a bizarre premise that feels absolutely distinct in virtual reality. Time only advances forward in the game when you move. As a result, if you entirely cease moving, the world will come to a halt. The action will move in slow motion around you if you move slowly.
This is another simple and comfy VR game since all you need to know is how to use the grip buttons on the controller to hold items, and there is no artificial movement in the virtual environment, so it's really relaxing. The game also challenges you to dodge objects by moving your body, which is more entertaining than simply using your hands!
You'll be taken through a succession of sequences in which you must eliminate adversaries by throwing things at them, hitting them, or shooting them. It seems more like destroying glass sculptures than really injuring people, so it's approachable even for folks who wouldn't normally want to play a shooter.'

Fujii – $15
Fujii is a peaceful and imaginative game that serves as an ideal primer for more advanced VR controls. Unlike the games higher on this list, you'll utilize artificial movement in Fujii to explore a cheerful virtual environment, solve easy puzzles, and collect seeds and critters that form part of a garden that you get to plant and care for.
Fujii is a wonderful and refreshing VR experience, even for someone who enjoys action games. The good thing about Fujii is that, unlike many other games, there is no 'danger.' Nothing is going to follow you down, destroy you, or send you back to the checkpoint. This game is all about exploring a magical world at your own leisure, which makes it the ideal game for learning VR fundamentals like grasping, tossing, teleportation mobility, and gesture controls. When you get to more mechanically sophisticated VR games, all of those talents will come in handy.

Star Wars: Vader Immortal – $10 Per Episode (three episodes total)
Look no farther than Star Wars: Vader Immortal if you're seeking a little bit of story. This three-part series delivers an entertaining and absorbing combination of story, light riddles, and action, even if you aren't a Star Wars fan. It's one of the most visually appealing games on Quest, plus you get to use a lightsaber!
Even better, the game is officially divided down into three $10 'episodes.' That means you may try the first and then decide whether or not to continue with the next two. Even if you don't want to go on to the following two episodes, the first has a 'lightsaber dojo,' which is a replayable wave-based mode that allows you to practice your lightsaber abilities for hours. It's also a fantastic demo for friends!
