Virtual Reality has become one of the biggest trends in the gaming industry in recent years. With it, people have engaged in worlds and means of play beyond what anyone thought was possible back in the beginning days of gaming. Though it has evolved a great deal in the short time it has existed in the mainstream, VR still has its share of problems. The price of admission can be steep, even Apple thinks so.

However, such a barrier does not have to stop people from having the best VR experience possible. With an expanding library of free VR games, people now have plenty of options when it comes to what they want to play in VR without making quite so big a dent in their wallets.

10 Echo VR

One of the earliest VR games to gain mainstream attention, Echo VR is a treat for fans of zero-g, sci-fi, competition. Originally known as Echo Arena, Echo VR has since expanded to included Echo Combat as well. However, only Echo Arena is free. That being said, it is still well worth the download. Navigate a zero-g arena with a team to throw a frisbee into the enemy team's goal. Seems simple, but the result is some of the most pulse-pounding, sweat-inducing gameplay you can have in a VR setting. This game's movement system is unique and intuitive; easy to learn, difficult to master. Though like many great VR games, it is exclusive to Oculus systems.

9 Google Earth VR

While not strictly a game, this VR experience is a must-have for anyone who wants to see with their own eyes the majesty of planet earth. This isn't just Google Earth with added depth. Every area mapped by Google can be explored in 3D for the player to enjoy at their discretion. Want to visit Paris? Teleport to the address and experience the city and its scale. The player even has the ability to fly, making them feel like Superman. This game may not be the best option for those with a fear of heights though, or for those who are prone to motion sickness.

8 VR Chat

VR Chat has become the premier app for interacting with others over VR, expanding itself even to this day. The limit is the player's imagination, with VR Chat offering a ton of freedom. With endless mod support, the player can take on the appearance of just about any fictional character and explore virtually any landscape. With mini-games galore, there is no shortage of things for the player to do. However, the main draw to this game is the community. The game's community is the living personification of the internet itself. Whether or not that is a good or a bad thing, it guarantees entertainment.

7 The Red Stare

This game oozes style. Become a spy in 1950's America on the prowl for secret communist agents. The twist is that this job must be performed from the comfort of a single room. The player must observe their neighbors across the street and through a series of clues, identify which of them is a communist spy. This game will be a delight for anyone interested in games of deduction or anyone with an interest in this wild period of time. Thanks to it being free, it's only a download away.

6 Spider-man: Far From Home VR

Few movie tie-in games have had the pleasure of being called good throughout the course of video game history, but this game can be considered one of the few that took such a venture and made the best of it. The premise is simple. Play as Spider-man in VR. This includes web-swinging, web-shooting, and the voices of characters from the movie.

The player can engage in racing, fight enemies, or just swing at their pleasure. It is bare-bones for sure, but it more than makes up for it by being great at the things it does do.

5 Rec Room

For the player looking for a more curated and casual social VR experience, look no further than Rec Room. Less chaotic than VR Chat, this game boasts a more consistently friendly community. As such it can be a much more relaxing VR experience. While there is not as much that the player can do to express themself in this game, what they gain in return is a more refined experience made up of higher quality games to play with others. The player is practically guaranteed to find new friends over the course of their time playing this game.

4 Wolfenstein 3D VR

It's all that Wolfenstein goodness in a VR package. What the player will quickly realize when playing this game is why exactly this game became the known classic it is today. Storm through Castle Wolfenstein and take on the nazi forces guarding it. Every level of the original game is lovingly recreated in VR for the player to enjoy. Another thing to note is that this game can be found on Itch.IO, an online repository for indie games, and a surprising source of great VR games.

3 Propagation VR

2 Astro Bot Rescue Mission

What at first glance appears to be nothing more than a tech demo for Playstation's own in-house VR system, Astro Bot Rescue Mission stands as a testament to VR game design and shows what VR gaming as a whole can do. The game drowns you in charm and throws an endless abundance of fun ideas that breathe life into its platforming. It is great for getting kids into PSVR. The player will control the little robot Astro, but that doesn't mean they don't have their own presence. Just as the player guides Astro across a variety of platforming challenges using traditional Playstation controls, The player will also use themselves as they crash through barriers with their head or dodge attacks aiming at themself.

1 DCS World Steam Edition

The best VR games find ways to put the most content into as little space as possible, one of the many reasons why VR games have the player standing in place. That being said, no other experience adheres to this idea better than a flight simulator. This game will put the player in charge of aircraft in their complete majesty. The controls are complex, but what the player can pull off with these controls is fantastic. The player can drop bombs, fire missiles, and evade enemies, amongst other things. And if that wasn't enough, there is mod support as well.
