Meta's virtual-reality headsets have come a long way since the technology was first introduced roughly a decade ago. Where Meta's competitors (see the PlayStation VR2 and HTC Vive Pro 2) serve as accessories to the world of VR gaming, the most recent Meta Quest 3 headset operates as a stand-alone experience. That's a big plus in this burgeoning space, which is still getting its sea legs in Mark Zuckerberg's ongoing quest for a Metaverse.

Still, addictive rhythm games such as Beat Saber and Pistol Whip—alongside truly innovative experiences like Superhot VRmake the Meta Quest 3 an exciting prospect for the video-game world. Heck, even major franchises are creating ports for Resident Evil, The Walking Dead, Among Us, and Marvel's Iron Man on the platform. If you're looking for a new way to play, these are the best games we've found for the Meta Quest 3.

    Beat Saber is VR's poster child for good reason. The popular rhythm game—which is set to today's popular music—is one of the few truly energetic and challenging experiences in VR gaming.
