VR Headsets, Games and Accessories

Pick the headset type before anything else

This area is organized into headsets, games and add-ons, and the headset type decides the rest. A standalone headset has its own processor and storage and needs no computer. A PC-linked headset uses your graphics card over a cable or a link feature. Phone viewers are lens shells that hold a smartphone. Settle that question before you open the virtual reality headsets, because games and accessories are written for a platform such as Meta Quest or PC, not for every device.

Every add-on has to match the exact headset

Straps, face covers, silicone covers, link cables, battery packs and charging docks are made for particular headset generations, and titles still use the older Oculus name next to Meta Quest. Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest 3S parts are not always interchangeable, so read the model line. For tethered play a cable should be rated for USB 3.0 data, not just charging. Browse VR cables and add-ons with the exact headset name in hand, and check the platform line on every game.

Questions about VR Headsets, Games and Accessories

Do I need a PC to use a VR headset?

Not with a standalone headset, which runs games on its own. A PC is needed for tethered headsets and for streaming PC titles to some standalone ones. Phone viewers need a compatible smartphone instead of a computer.

Can one accessory fit every Quest headset?

Rarely. Head straps, face covers and docks are shaped for specific models, so match the Quest 2, Quest 3 or Quest 3S name in the listing. Generic items such as a USB-C cable are the exception.

Are VR games sold per platform?

Yes. A game made for one platform may not run on another, so check the platform line for Meta Quest, PC or phone. Some titles list several platforms; confirm that yours is included before choosing.
