Fitness and sports, multiplayer gaming, virtual theater, strange worlds: This is what you have to check out first.
Virtual reality can be an amazing escape, a workout or both. Over the last year at home, VR gaming has become an even bigger part of my life than it was before. If you’re looking for the closest thing to a self-contained VR gaming console, the Oculus Quest 2 is your choice. The compact headset replaces Facebook’s 18-month-old Oculus Quest, but it reminds me more than ever that there are some really excellent games on the VR platform.
Despite existing in a company-controlled walled garden (and increasingly Facebook-oriented login and data policies), the Quest has turned into quite a destination for the best VR games. (Note that to access top PC VR games like Star Wars: Squadrons or Half-Life: Alyx, you’ll need to plug into a gaming PC with a USB cable.) The rate of good games arriving has been accelerating over the past year.
