I think it would be cool to collaborate on a list of free VR apps (games, experiences, and other VR software) that we have tested to work well on frame and would recommend to others. Even older ones that have been around for a long time could still be fun for those of us who are newbies to VR. I'm going to try all the free apps I can and feel like while I'm starting out and getting the hang of it, before I start shelling out for paid ones. It would be useful to state whether it worked in standalone or streaming mode too. I'm mostly interested in standalone for now since my old gaming box has a fairly old and underpowered GPU.

Here are a couple to start with:

Standalone - Arcturus Vision Gaussian XR - cool technical demo.

Standalone - BoomXR - nice basic(?) rhythm exercise/boxing game. It worked perfectly for me and I enjoyed the game and the workout. I think that this will hold me over for a while until I get Beat Saber, Synth Riders, Thrill of The Fight 2, Dragon Fist, etc.

Mine is not arrived yet so I cannot say if any of these works on the Frame standalone nor if it runs on Proton. But here are the free games/experience I enjoyed when I started VR. Order is kinda from fav to least but not really.

FREE

  • The Lab
  • Adventure Climb
  • ART Plunge
  • OpenBrush
  • theBlu
  • aircar

As a bonus here is a list of games that are very cheap on sale and that I enjoyed. Remember these were NOT tested on a standalone headset nor a GNU/Linux OS!

CHEAP and worthy – Usually less than $5 when on sale

  • SUPERHOT VR
  • A Fisher Man's Tale
  • Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
  • Traffic Jams
  • Panoptic
