25 Must-Have Free Games & Apps for Quest 3 Owners

Alright, so I just found myself thinking about how you might not want to drop a hundred bucks on Quest games right out of the gate. Honestly, who does? But lucky us, there’s a bunch of free games and apps out there that’ll keep you entertained without robbing your wallet.

Hey, and if you’re looking to jazz up your Quest 3, don’t forget those nifty accessories. They’ve got a list somewhere—it’s worth a peek.

## Free Quest Games

### Yeeps: Hide and Seek

So here’s a fun one—you’re this character called a Yeep. Imagine having a belly full of stuffing you can use to craft all sorts of stuff, from bombs to pillows. The building’s super intuitive, like playing with blocks, but virutal. Need to express your inner Picasso? This might just be your jam.

### Gorilla Tag

Ever thought about what it’d be like to swing around like a gorilla? Yeah, me neither. But in Gorilla Tag, you do exactly that. You’re running around, trying not to crash into your TV or stomp on that poor flower vase. Play tag but with gorillas. Simple and chaotic… fun though.

### Animal Company

This one’s kinda like Gorilla Tag’s sibling—swinging around environments, snagging loot, and dealing with bizarre stuff along the way. It’s like Lethal Company’s game loop but with more fun and more chaos if that’s possible. Play with friends, unless you want to try solo—good luck!

### Orion Drift

Imagine a social platform disguised as a game. Orion Drift is all action and socializing. Picture a space station with, like, 75 folks. Activities? Think Rocket League but in space. Also, parkour and sword fights because why not? Chill areas too, for when all the space antics get too much.

### Population: One

The ultimate VR battle royale, right? This one lets you climb, fly, shoot—basically living your action movie fantasies. It’s free, sure, but cosmetics might tempt you. There’s more than just the battle royale stuff, too. Sandbox play, team deathmatches—mix it up as you like.

### VAIL

This one’s a multiplayer shooter, and yeah, it’s basically free. Well, kinda. A few maps are free to play; others behind a paywall. Test your shooting skills in intense 5v5 battles. You get to flex those virtual muscles first before deciding on the paid stuff.

### Gym Class – Basketball

Missing the basketball court? Gym Class lets you dunk like a pro, virtually anyway. Physics and all that jazz make it feel real. Go face to face with others in an online match. Almost makes you feel like an NBA star, doesn’t it?

### VRFS – Football (Soccer) Simulator

For the soccer fans, VRFS gives you that stadium vibe. Don’t worry, no controllers tied to your feet—you do it all with your hands. Train, host matches, show off your skills. Feels immersive, just don’t try to header your TV.

### Hyper Dash

Hyper Dash is this multiplayer shooter filling the gap Echo Combat left behind. Quick dash, sprint, rail grind—yeah, you’re gonna be all over the place. From Payload to Capture The Flag, there are loads of modes. Plus, cross-play is a thing, which is sweet.

### Devil’s Roulette

Russian Roulette with a twist. It’s not just pulling a trigger—it’s dodging bullets, repairing health, and all that good stuff. It’s like combining Russian Roulette with rock-paper-scissors, but deadlier.

### Cards & Tankards

If card games are your thing, Cards & Tankards will have you hooked. Collect cards, battle friends in this medieval fantasy setup. It doubles as a social game night—in a virtual tavern. Neat, huh?

### Poker Stars – Vegas Infinite

Love poker? Dive into Poker Stars’ Vegas Infinite. No actual cash involved, but hey, you can pretend to be a high roller. Texas Hold’em and a ton of other games await. Remember, in-game chips stay fake. Just a dopamine fix, nothing else.

### Gods of Gravity

Here’s a cosmic twist—an arcade-style RTS where you’re a celestial god. Control planets, capture suns, build fleets. Compete with up to eight players, sending ships across the solar system. Last god standing takes the win.

## Social VR Platforms

### Rec Room

Rec Room’s a blast, all for zero dollars. Yeah, you can spruce up your avatar with real cash, but why? Dive into tons of mini-games. Co-op Quests are a highlight, seriously. In social VR, meet folks and have a laugh. Warning: lots of kiddos around.

### VRChat

If you’ve been online recently, you’re already aware of VRChat. Imagine anything—a game space filled with creations like Among Us, Mario Kart, and even Beat Saber clones. Customize avatars beyond belief. Be SpongeBob or that anime persona; imagination’s the limit.

### Horizon Worlds

Horizon Worlds has been on a mission to amp things up. More tools, more content, and first-party games all there. It’s Meta’s VR social platform—pop in and see what’s up. Price of ‘free’ does make it tempting.

Oh, and there’s more about free experiences and apps. But, that’s another deep dive for later.
