So, you’ve got a Quest 3S, huh? But maybe you’re not exactly ready to drop a cool Benjamin on games. I get it. Honestly, who has the cash these days? Good news, you don’t need to. There’s a bunch of free stuff out there worth your time. I stumbled across this myself when I was, I don’t know, procrastinating on something important probably.
## Messing Around with Free Games
### Yeeps: Hide and Seek
Alright, picture yourself as a Yeep, whatever that is. Belly stuffed with, well, stuffing like some kind of magical creature. You’re pulling pillows from thin air, building up forts or blowing them to bits. Kind of reminds me of some chaotic arts and crafts session that’s less about the craft and more about the chaos.
### Gorilla Tag
Channel your inner primate and start swinging around trees like it’s nobody’s business. The real kicker? You’re playing tag—ape-style. It’s all fun and games until you crash straight into the TV. Trust me, it’s a workout. You’ll be “running” around your room like a lunatic, and boy, the laughter this sparks? Unmatched.
### Animal Company
Speaking of apes, this one takes Gorilla Tag’s vibe and throws you in some bonkers places. It’s multiplayer madness. Loot grabs, sneaking around, dodging traps, and all that jazz. Sounds like a family reunion, but with more monsters.
### Orion Drift
Imagine Gorilla Tag in space. That’s a thing, right? It’s less a game and more a hangout spot, where you’re not just drifting around aimlessly—there’s parkour, rocket ball sports, sword fights, and more. A bit like a chaotic carnival. You never quite know where you’ll end up.
### Population: One
Ah, battle royale in VR. Climb, fly, shoot—rinse and repeat. I mean, who doesn’t love being the last one standing? Just watch out for the microtransactions. They sneak up on you when you least expect it, like a cat from behind a curtain.
### VAIL
Shooters are a dime a dozen, but this one’s got some neat stuff up its sleeve. Sure, some bits need cash, but four maps for free? Worth a shot, literally. You dive in and suddenly it’s 5v5 chaos.
### Gym Class – Basketball
Ever dream of dunking but gravity’s got other plans? Here’s your virtual escape. Go head-to-head, make that game-winning shot, or at least pretend you can.
### VRFS – Football (Soccer) Simulator
Soccer without sweating buckets. Sounds amazing, right? This one flips the script—you’re handling kicks with your controllers. No need to risk a sprained ankle. There might even be a Pele in all of us hiding somewhere.
### Hyper Dash
It’s quick, it’s wild, and it’s absolutely bursting with modes. Ever feel like regular shooters are too slow? Hyper Dash’s got you covered. Dashing, rail grinding, I mean, even your morning commute feels dull in comparison.
### Devil’s Roulette
So, Russian Roulette. But, why stop at just pulling the trigger? Dodge bullets, stun your opponents—just when you think you’re out, you’re back in. It’s rock-paper-scissors with a twist.
### Cards & Tankards
For card game addicts—gather ‘round. It’s like you combine your favorite card game nights into a medieval fantasy tavern. Deal your cards, toast with tankards—what’s not to love?
### Poker Stars – Vegas Infinite
No real gambling here folks. It’s all about virtual chips. Frees you up to go all in without that heart-stopping risk of losing actual money. Your brain gets a nice dopamine hit, too.
### Gods of Gravity
Epic space battles? Yes, please. You and some mates fighting over planets, capturing the sun—you know, usual godly things. It’s like cosmic chess, with way cooler visuals.
## Rolling with Social VR Platforms
On top of that, there’s a bunch of social VR playgrounds where it’s more about hanging out than competing, unless you declare an impromptu trampoline duel.
### Rec Room
A wild world of mini-games. Sure, it’s for fun, but also beware: full of kids. Brace yourself for chaos and chitchat. But then, isn’t that life?
### VRChat
If you know, you know. VRChat is like the mishmash of the internet packed into VR space. You wanna be SpongeBob? Go for it! Wanna play Mario Kart? It’s there somewhere, guaranteed.
### Horizon Worlds
Meta’s take on social VR is like a constant work-in-progress. It’s evolving and free, so it’s hard to grumble too much. Check it out, if only to see what all the fuss (or lack thereof) is about.
There you have it. A wild, mixed-up journey into VR land. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
