Lists of killer apps and games by user ratings - for the Rift hmds and Quest 1 - 3 with Link
UPDATED JULY 2025 Note that due to the malfunctioning Meta phone app, you cannot find all games using the phone app. Also the PCVR Store shown in the Meta PC App may no longer include all games, but using a normal PC, this link should work: https://www.meta.com/experiences/pcvr/ If you cannot find a game in the Store, try searching for it in the Store or using an Internet browser. Searching on the internet, to avoid Quest standalone versions, just add the word "Rift". To get an overview, here're lists of the highest rated games and apps for the Oculus Rift hmds and for Quest 1 & 2 with (Air)Link. If you're new to PC-VR, maybe these lists can be of inspiration - and maybe even old-timers can find stuff they've overlooked... To be included at least 40 users must have rated a game or an app, and the average user rating must be at least 4.5 stars out of 5 (= 90 % or better) - based on user ratings in the Oculus Rift Store (Steam games or apps are not included). Maybe we could call these lists for grade "A" games and apps - or simply current Rift killer games and apps 😉 And why the need for 40 user ratings? In the Oculus Rift Store there are many games and apps receiving high ratings, but to provide sound statistics it's not enough with just 3 user ratings - or 10 - or even 20. I've chosen 40 because it's close to the minimum number of individuals I'd want in a group, if I was trying to get some robust statistics after collecting answers to a questionnaire (for a medical trial and similar investigations). I've provided the current number of user ratings for each game or app, so if some readers only trust average ratings based on 100, 500 or even 1,000 user ratings, the lists will accommodate for such preferences. Note that these lists are not influenced by my preferences - I'm just the guy counting user ratings and associated average ratings o:) Also note that new awesome games or apps may not yet be on the lists due to an insufficient number of user ratings.

Finally we could also check which game or app (with an average user rating of at least 90 %) has the most votes in total - and the winner in each category is: Rift game with the most ratings Rift app with the most ratingsVirtual Desktop with cable connection
After some tests, the best adapter ist this: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0C3GHBLB6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works great, i can charge my quest at gaming and if i start at 95%...play a hour....i end at 95%. It´s a absolut stable connection without interferences and i can use godlike with 500mbps! (measured is ~480mbps, but 500mbps works without any problem) For me the best PCVR link/experience i can get! For use you need: -developer account -activated USB debugging -DHCP in Router Short summary: -turn off WLAN in Quest 3 -LAN cable to router <> adapter -PD to adapter -Adapter to Quest 3 -Turn on and check if the store is loading without WLAN, then you know, it´s working Greetings....ah, and if a meta developer read this: PLEASE DON`T TURN OFF THIS FEATURE!Favorite Video game OSTs
I know that we already have a fantastic music thread, but when I'm working, I often enjoy listening to video game music. I was curious to know what everyone's top picks for video game soundtracks are! Here are a couple of my personal favorites: I'm really looking forward to hearing some awesome tracks from everyone. Who knows, maybe your music will even inspire me to start playing the game if I haven't already!
Recommend some good 3D Movies!
Watching 3D movies on the Oculus Rift (or alternative headset) in your virtual cinema of choice is AWESOME, as anyone who has gotten it to work will tell you, and there's clearly a common interest in the experience judging from the number of threads asking HOW to get them to work.. But this thread isn't about how to watch 3D movies on the Rift (just look up any of those other threads for that) This thread is about what to watch! In other words, recommend movies that you think look awesome in 3D, ones where the filming / effects were done really well and where the 3D adds significantly to the movie experience. Feel free to write up a mini-review or link to someplace the film can legally be acquired. ___________________________ So far, I've tried two different films myself, Zootopia and Mad Max: Fury Road, both ripped from 3D BluRays I own. Both were phenomenal! Zootopia is of course one of Disney's newest blockbusters, a computer-animated movie about a world where animals are civilized and humans never existed. Let me reassure you, this is a very well-written Family Film, not a dumb, low-standards Kids Movie, so even a full-grown adult like myself can enjoy it without shame or fear of awkward musical numbers. The CG-animated world is ultra-detailed and vibrantly colorful and really comes alive with the depth of 3D added. Mad Max: Fury Road may be a gritty live-action post-apocalyptic action film where most of the world is dingy and brown, but it looks equally amazing in 3D, thanks to being originally filmed in 3D and done almost entirely with practical effects. That's right, almost all the flying car wreckage and explosions (which make up like 80% of the movie) are real, not CG post-processing! Even the flame-thrower guitar was a real, 100% functioning prop (although it weighed about 100lbs and iDTA, the musician playing it, is on record for saying it was the worst-sounding guitar he's ever played). There's just one scene I can think of with a really obviously fake jump-out-of-the-screen type 3D effect added, and it's (a borderline comical) icing on the cake of the most climactic part of the film. ____________________________ I'm thinking of adding James Cameron's Avatar, or Coraline to my 3D collection next, because I've seen both in 3D before and they were great (Avatar in the theaters, with polarized glasses, and Coraline on a DVD that included an Anaglyph mode and the appropriate glasses right there in the DVD case). I'm also thinking of getting Tron, Pacific Rim, and maybe Paranorman ... all movies I really enjoyed but have only seen in 2D so far. Anyone here seen the 3D versions of those already, who would recommend them?
