While Oculus doesn’t offer much publicly in the way of understanding how well individual games & apps are performing across its Quest 2 storefront, it’s possible to glean some insight by looking at apps relative to each other. Here’s a snapshot of the 20 best rated Oculus Quest games and apps as of September 2022.

Some quick qualifications before we get to the data:

  • Paid and free apps are separated
  • Only apps with more than 100 reviews are represented
  • App Lab apps are not represented (see our latest Quest App Lab report)
  • Rounded ratings may appear to show ‘ties’ in ratings for some applications, but the ranked order remains correct

    For the first time since it was released, Resident Evil 4 is no longer in the Top 20 of most popular paid apps by new ratings, not even a year after release. Of course staying there for a year isn’t easy and it is based on a (very good) game from 2004 that lots of people will have already played. But there was so much hype and praise for finally getting a Quest AAA title that is is quite astonishing that its impact wasn’t more substantial.

    Everybody is asking for bigger games with longer campaigns, but the titles that continuously sell are the more casual ones that allow for repeated, shorter experiences. This may be due to technical or ergonomic limits of the Quest 2, but could also a sign that VR gaming is in some ways fundamentally different from pancake gaming.
