The Oculus Quest 3’s growing library of VR experiences includes some exclusives and titles optimized specifically for the next-generation headset. Notable examples include: Half-Life: Alyx, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Creed: Rise to Glory, No More Heroes III, Thumper, and Tetris Effect. The current status of this project is recorded here.
As technology continually advances, there arrives a point where it becomes necessary to bid farewell to outdated hardware; indeed, we’ve observed several telltale signs suggesting Meta is poised to shift its focus away from the Quest 2. The company has slashed the headset’s price tag to just $200, and the 256GB model remains out of stock, while Quest 2 accessories have also taken a substantial price hit, implying a clearance sale is underway? As speculation swirls about a more affordable Quest 3 on the horizon, it’s reasonable to assume that buying a brand-new Quest 2 is no longer a wise decision.
While most developers have primarily showcased Quest 2’s visual enhancements up until now, several creators have indeed abandoned support for Quest 2 and Quest Professional altogether in favor of the latest Quest 3 iteration – including one of Meta’s own first-party studios. With the Quest 3’s upgraded Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, the more than twofold boost in GPU power is hardly surprising.
As new information emerges, this record will evolve over the next few months; accordingly, we will keep it updated with any further developments learned. This review is excluded from first encounters since it serves as an additional guide for actuality tutorials. As Townsmen VR was initially exclusive to Quest 3 but has since become available on other older headsets, its relevance has diminished.
For the time being, this is a comprehensive list of video games available on the Oculus Quest 3 platform, with no equivalent listing for the Quest 2.
Alien: Rogue Incursion
In Alien: Rogue Incursion, a VR experience within the iconic Alien franchise, players are immersed in an authentic virtual reality sports game. Survival horror fans will soon have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a spine-tingling experience on Meta Quest 3, with Survios confirming its arrival on this cutting-edge headset – but unfortunately, owners of older Quest models will not be able to join the thrill ride. Despite varying entries on the record, Rogue Incursion is a multi-platform game set to debut on PC VR and PSVR 2 in “Summer 2024.”
