Who knew that a genre such as sports would gain so much demand that these games would become one of the top-selling titles every year. While sitting on the couch and playing football or soccer is oddly satisfying, nothing beats the real thing, and most would agree.
Still, it is understandable why people would want to play these games at home. But what if there is a middle ground to it? That’s right, we are talking about virtual reality and all the amazing sports games made for it. Let’s look at some of the most fun sports titles available on Meta Quest 2.
Many of the Oculus Quest 2 best and most played games fall under the sports category. The virtual reality games let players immerse themselves in a variety of sports, all from the comfort of their homes. There’s no shortage of great Oculus Quest 2 sports games, so we’ve decided to expand this list.
11 ForeVR Darts
As the name suggests, ForeVR Darts is a game about throwing darts in virtual reality. However, this one stands apart because it uses Meta Quest 2’s hand-tracking technology. That means players will no longer require controllers to play this.
In fact, all they have to do is focus on aiming and realistically throw the darts. This game is also great for socializing with strangers as it has public multiplayer. It also allows players to make their private rooms if they want to buddy up with some friends on a Friday night and play darts from the comfort of their homes.
10 ForeVR Bowl
ForeVR Darts isn’t the only sports game from ForeVR Games for the Oculus Quest 2 worth playing, as there is also ForeVR Bowl. Unsurprisingly, ForeVR Bowl is a bowling game, a sport that many players were keen to try when VR first started rolling out due to how enjoyable it was in the Wii’s launch title Wii Sports. ForeVR Bowl doesn’t disappoint, offering enjoyable gameplay over a great range of lanes with solo play, local pass-and-play, and online multiplayer all available.
Along with ForeVR Darts and ForeVR Bowl, there is also ForeVR Cornhole, which only narrowly missed out on this list.
9 Totally Baseball
Totally Baseball is the complete baseball experience on virtual reality, and there’s no other game that compares to it. The reason for that is how well this game plays, despite the sport of Baseball needing more than one player.
Totally Baseball allows players to teleport to experience every part of the game, be it pitching, catching, or batting. In addition to that, this game also allows players to play multiplayer 1v1 or play it in free-roam. Totally Baseball is a perfect game with multiple customization options if you want to experience Baseball.
8 Eleven Table Tennis
Hands down, Eleven is the most true-to-life table-tennis video game anyone can play on any platform. The reason for this is its sharp graphics, genuine gameplay, and play modes that perfectly simulate the sport.
Apart from being completely physics-based, this game offers advanced A.I. and realistic environments that mimic the feel of playing it. The best part has to be that the sport of table tennis perfectly fits the realm of virtual reality and feels remarkably authentic. The players can also play this with their friends or people online.
7 Carve Snowboarding
Carve Snowboarding is a relatively inexpensive extreme sports game that works while standing, sitting, or at a room scale. Since it is a snowboarding title, the fundamental focus is building points and scoring high.
In Carve Snowboarding, players can experience the slopes and drops of a snowy world as they maneuver themselves through different obstacles. Since this game is a semi-realistic title, it doesn’t require too much skill, making it great for beginners. Moreover, it’s a perfect sports game for people looking to try out something thrilling.
6 Walkabout Mini Golf
Talking about a fun, therapeutic, and beautiful sports game, here’s Walkabout Mini Golf. As the name suggests, this game is a delightful golfing title that makes players feel why this sport is so much popular.
In Walkabout Mini Golf, players get eight unique 18-hole courses with add-ons such as Shangri-La and Gardens of Babylon. The game also offers a night mode that increases the challenge for people and 150 custom balls to collect. If that isn’t enough, this game works with up to five players, making it a good social sim.
5 The Climb 2
It is a huge wasted opportunity if someone owns a Meta Quest 2 and hasn’t tried The Climb 2. The biggest reason for that is how well designed this game is and the developer team behind it. The Climb 2 is a Crytek creation, who are the same guys who gave us the respected Crysis series.
While this game isn’t about shooting aliens, it does offer steller graphics that are Crytek’s specialty. Climb 2 is about climbing dangerously high heights and making your way to the top. This game has great controls and a better variety of locations such as peaks, caves, and skyscrapers.
4 Echo VR
When it comes to the list of most unique games on Quest 2, Echo V.R. has to be on it. After all, this game offers one of the unique gameplay experiences one can have on their virtual reality device, that too for free.
Echo V.R. is a sports game, but one of the most unorthodox ones, as it is about maneuvering through zero-gravity while playing a high-energy competition. This sports game is a multiplayer title that players can enjoy with their friends or strangers and has a good community as well.
3 Racket NX
Racket N.X. is like Eleven Table Tennis on steroids with a little bit of sci-fi mixed into it. From the outside, Racket N.X. is about using a racket to hit the ball, but do not mistake it for a game of tennis. In this game, players have to take on a new kind of challenge, perfecting their shots and hitting the tiles.
Racket N.X. is a blend of gameplay between tennis and pinball, and it perfectly catches the feel in virtual reality. People will have to try it out to know how fun it is.
2 Thrill of the Fight
Thrill of the Fight is an incredibly inexpensive fighting game and offers amazing physics-based hit detection. This game is all about boxing your way to the top and becoming the king of the ring.
The developers define this game as a “down-to-earth V.R. boxing” experience, which is undoubtedly correct. Thrill of the Fight is purely about perfect timing, dodges, and figuring out your opponent’s fighting style. The game requires a room-scale area to play, with the minimum being 6.5ft by 6.5ft.
1 2MD: VR Football Unleashed
Players shouldn’t let 2MD: VR Football Unleashed’s minimal cartoonish art style fool them into thinking that it’s a childish game, as that certainly isn’t the case.
In fact, 2MD: VR Football Unleashed is a brutal football game that allows players to throw balls like they would in real life. The game offers fully customizable teams, a challenging A.I, various stadiums, customizable controls, and a virtual trophy case. 2MD: VR Football Unleashed also features achievements for those who love hunting for them.
