Does the Oculus Quest 2 come with games?

Although the Oculus Quest 2 comes with tons of games you have to buy. The VR headset still comes with pre-loaded game demos that you can play without paying like the Oculus first contact demo; this helps you to get familiar with the VR environment and it is somewhat like a tutorial to help you understand Quest controls and make use of the commands properly like shooting or grabbing etc. 

However, some games are not available in the Oculus store but you can still access these games with the help of your PC through the oculus link cable or you can use a third-party USB-C cable that is high quality and can support data and power or through the Oculus Air link.

Regardless, some of the pre-installed games on the Oculus Quest 2 are multiplayer games that you can still play with friends or family before deciding on the games you wish to purchase.

Games in the library include

•  Echo VR
• Epic Roller Coaster
• Bait
• Poker Stars VR

• Horizon Worlds
• Bogo
• Space Dodge 2
