VR isn’t something you can”t live without, but if you want to take a voyage into fantastical worlds like you’ve never seen, it’s definitely worth the price of admission. Some of the exclusive games available in VR are breathtaking and unlike any other game you can play on a console or PC.
I’ve found myself escaping into VR games a little more often lately, but it’s not always easy to get the free time. Family responsibilities and real-world obligations make it hard to find time to put on a headset and disappear into an epic game world. It’s not a social activity I can share with anyone else in the house. It’s total me time, but sometimes I need that.
If you’re lucky enough to have a VR headset (and these are some of the best ones), there are some great virtual reality games worth your time right now. Here are some of my favorites. Also, be sure to check out some other great VR game suggestions.
It’s an escape room brought into VR, with a ton of mysterious puzzles to solve and a creepy Lovecraft vibe. This VR-only entry in the long-running “The Room” series of games is a special gift right now. It’s available for multiple platforms, including the stand-alone Oculus Quest.

The immersive theater-meets-game universe of The Under Presents mixes live actors, who are performing through the end of May, with recorded cabaret and storytelling elements. Time bends, stories loop. It’s a place to get lost in with others, and it’s worth a dive right now. There’s even a Discord group where communities are discussing the game’s deepest secrets. It’s now available on Steam, too.

Ping-pong, in VR. It’s my favorite way to transform my room into a way to play surprisingly real table tennis, and it works with AI or against online opponents. It’s close enough to the real thing to border on practice.
The hypnotic VR-optional puzzle game has been around for a while, but it’s a great way to focus, meditate on blocks and feel yourself surrounded by landscapes and lush soundtracks. It’s like taking a musical bath. Available on PSVR and PC.
If you haven’t played Sony’s stellar VR take on Mario-style platforming, now’s the time to find out what it’s all about. Each level has tons of secrets to uncover, which makes for some replay value too.
This has been VR’s killer app for years, but now it’s also a great stay-at-home exercise game. The music-rhythm-dance-with-lightsabers levels are a helpful way to blow off steam, and it’s infinitely replayable.
One of the best little VR games, Moss, lets you explore little worlds as a mouse. The new Alice in Wonderland-themed Down the Rabbit Hole has a similar feeling of visiting tiny worlds, but laid out as you’re moving down a hole in the ground. Leaning into each room is magic. (Available on Quest, Oculus Rift, Steam, PSVR)
I was late to discover this recent, beautiful game, and it’s hard to describe: It’s an alien odyssey in a minimalist world where you have to figure out what things do. It feels like art, and almost like a VR version of the classic game Journey. It’s a PlayStation exclusive for VR.
