Virtual reality hasn’t quite hit the mainstream like some of us expected it to by now, but the technology has reached a level where it could easily become a common household device. The Meta Quest 3 is the most powerful VR headset on the market right now, with tons of mixed reality apps that show the power of the device. Having those additional Meta Quest 3 apps is great for things like work, exercise, and relaxing, but the real potential with VR is in gaming. Not even the PC games with the best graphics can be as immersive as actually inserting yourself into the game with VR. That said, VR games are still new and may not be a very comfortable experience for all, which is why we have rigorously playtested as many Quest games as we could to save you any potential nausea or boredom. Strap on your headset and clear your play space as we explore all the best games on Meta Quest.
Keeping in mind that the best Meta Quest 3 games include all the best Meta Quest 2 games, here are a few that simply demand to be played on the latest and greatest VR hardware.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners
The older edition of the Meta Quest has a huge library of games that you don’t necessarily need to get the more expensive version to play the best games.

You may have played Resident Evil 4 dozens of times already, especially with the latest release being one of the best video game remakes of all time, but stepping into the misty woods and ancient castle in VR will feel like a brand new experience. Not only does the fresh perspective ratchet up the fear, but the new control scheme also contributes to that panicked frenzy as you try and aim, reload, and run for your life. But if you master it, you can pull off moves you never could on a controller.

Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
