On the subject of mixed reality: still in open beta, this 4v4 arena-scale shooter requires space and some Quest-owning buddies. It also has a mixed reality passthrough mode! Spend money on cosmetics, or don’t: it’s a massive slice of fun any which way. Refine your loadout and jump into the action as you scramble for weapons and send a volley of hellfire at your enemies, all the while Matrix dodging through this innovative bullet hell meets futuristic dueling game. Once a paid game, this room-scale shooter is now free-to-play, letting you take on friends, family and foes in head-to-head 1v1 dueling. Online multiplayer lets you go head-to-head for a pretty convincing game of b-ball thanks to the game’s physics-based and full-body kinematics.

Gym Class – Basketball is the solution if you’re looking to shoot some hoops and dunk like you probably can’t on a physical court. There is more than just battle royale though: you can play in the sandbox for custom maps and rules, team deathmatch with customizable loadouts, a 12v12 war mode, and more. It’s still a paid game on Steam though, which makes sense considering developers BixBox VR were acquired by Meta. The free-to-play game does feature microtransactions, but only for cosmetics, which is nice. Population: One is basically VR’s most successful battle royale, letting you climb, fly, shoot, and team-up with whoever dares. Below you’ll find some of the top App Lab games in addition to those hosted on the official store.

If you want to see more, SideQuest’s search function is a great resource for finding free stuff and demos. Note: We didn’t include demos for paid games in the list, but you should definitely also check out these too for a quick taste of the full thing, such as Synth Riders, Journey of the Gods, Creed: Rise to Glory, Beat Saber, Superhot VR, Space Pirate Trainer, No More Rainbows, Pistol Whip, and Carve Snowboarding.
