If you’re looking for the best free games on Meta Quest 3S and Meta Quest 3, look no further.
With the Quest 3S joining Meta’s library of VR headsets, there are plenty of titles for new users to enjoy. But after you’ve spent a fair amount of money on your latest piece of technology, choosing between many games can be overwhelming. Luckily, there are plenty of free games for you to enjoy – without having to pay for them!
From frenetic shooters to comedic adventures, there’s no shortage of exciting titles to enjoy on your Quest 3 or Quest 3S without paying a cent extra. It’s worth noting that this list is in no particular order: they’re all excellent titles with different reasons why you should play them.
Here are the best free games you can play on your Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S headset:
Gorilla tag
If there’s one game that’s synonymous with the term ‘best free VR game’, it’s Gorilla Tag. Using a groundbreaking movement mechanic that requires you to wave your arms like, well, a gorilla, Gorilla Tag has you escaping infected players or skillfully chasing down survivors in a sweat-inducing game of tag.
Gorilla Tag uses in-game purchases that provide cosmetics for dedicated players, but these are not required to have fun! If you’re hoping to become the king of the VR jungle, this is the game to play.
FRENZIES
Developed by nDreams, the VR developer behind shooter hits like Fracked and Synapse, FRENZIES takes you into the brightly colored arenas as you and other players dive into the chaotic matches of this multiplayer shooter. With plenty of style and different onesies to wear, FRENZIES is a non-stop party of action.
FRENZIES is currently in early access and there are plans for more content very soon. With a great sense of gunplay and a focus on action over realism, it’s definitely a game we recommend diving into.
VR PvP Shooter FRENZIES Reaches Quest Free Early Access
6v6 VR shooter FRENZIES launches today on Quest and is free in early access. Our practical impressions.
Population: One
If you like games like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone on your flatscreen platforms, Population: One is the closest VR equivalent. Population: One started life as a premium experience and has since become a free-to-play game on Quest, bringing you a chaotic, kill-or-be-killed first-person shooter.
With a wide range of customization options and plenty of loot to collect, Population: One gives free rein to a frantic shooter that will test your aim and ability to survive.

After spending a lot of time with the multiplayer-only VR Battle Royale shooter, here’s our full Population: One review. We played on Oculus Quest 2, but it’s crossplay between Quest 1, Quest 2 and PC VR headsets with cross-buy on Rift and Quest. From every game released
Roblox
What’s better than playing one free game? Play hundreds of free games! After nearly two decades of being live, Roblox is now available on Meta Quest, giving you access to plenty of user-made experiences for you to enjoy.
Between social lobbies, horror mini-games and battles with friends, Roblox offers a lot of of experiences for you to enjoy, without seemingly limitless boundaries. And of course you can customize your avatar to your liking, showing off your fashion expertise.
Yep: hide and seek
Another Gorilla Tag-esque game, if you can call them that, Yeeps: Hide and Seek is much more cheerful than the horror-esque atmosphere in Animal Company, which also made the list. This visually appealing and distinct game divides you into two teams as you use parkour to hide from your enemies or use gadgets to draw out hidden players.
However, Yeeps: Hide and Seek is much more than just a simple children’s game. The building mechanic allows for highly creative gameplay, allowing teams to build fortresses or cause absolute destruction.
Hyper dash
If you’re tired of playing games that require you to wave your arms like gorillas, Hyper Dash offers fast-paced arena shooting action as you play a variety of classic FPS game modes like Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and more.
Sprint and run around the map for some trick shot kills, or practice against bots in offline mode. Hyper Dash offers some classic FPS action in virtual reality, so you should feel comfortable playing this game as your first shooter in VR.
Hyper Dash Review: Dynamic and Intense Competitive VR Shooter
Hyper Dash is now out on Quest and PC VR with full cross-play, and after spending a few weeks with the full release version on Quest 2, we’re happy to report that it’s a great competitive VR shooter. Read on for our full Hyper Dash review! Be with
GRAB
If you want a game that offers a lot of of user-generated content, then GRAB is an excellent example of what players can create. Featuring thousands of challenges from other GRAB fans, this multiplayer game offers everything from chasing storms to surviving dangerous climbs.
And if you have the perfect idea for a potential level, GRAB allows you to use your creative mind and participate in an intuitive level editor. If you prefer to be a player rather than a builder, you can also customize your character to your liking.
Dimensional double shift
Dimensional Double Shift, from the developers behind Job Simulator, sees you and up to three friends operating a gas station in the Omniverse. Using hand tracking instead of your controllers, you’ll have to refill people’s vehicles, cook food, and have fun with your coworkers.
The only problem with Dimensional Double Shift is that it requires at least one other friend, so there are no solo players here. However, if you and your friends want to experience a frenetic change in a dimensional gas station, here is your next game!
Dimensional Double Shift is a co-op party game from the Job Simulator Studio
Dimensional Double Shift, a hand-tracking-only co-op party game from the Job Simulator studio, is now available on Quest.
Animal business
If Gorilla Tag isn’t scary enough for you, Animal Company ups the stakes by forcing you to go to deep and dark locations. Combining the challenge of Gorilla Tag with the indie horror vibes of Lethal Company’s dangerous monsters, Animal Company will test your heart and your body.
With regular content updates and plenty of scares for you and your friends, Animal Company delivers a terrifyingly awesome time.
V Speedway
Last, but certainly not least, is V-Speedway, an arcade racer that serves as a great introduction to virtual reality racing, but still offers excellent gameplay for those who want to hit the asphalt and compete for top positions in the rankings.
With multiple tracks, the ability to choose which side you want to drive on, and working car features like handbrakes and mirrors, V-Speedway is a great way to experience the thrill of racing in VR.
