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.

I know there's IKEA Pancake Kitchen, which is unavailable in Germany for some reason.

There were some Spider-Man games as promotions for the movies, but they have been delisted. The one I have wouldn't launch standalone anyways.

If we ever get a working WebXR browser there are a ton of browser games like https://spiderman.webvr.link/ and https://moonrider.xyz/.

I have successfully started Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay. There is also Trials on Tatooine which I haven't tested yet.

SideQuest also has a shit ton of free games. Most are for the Quest, but they may also work with Lepton. I have only tested Minecraft VR so far and that worked halfway (the game started but actual Minecraft did not start).

    Haha, thanks for telling me about IKEA Pancake Kitchen! I probably would have never heard of that if you hadn't mentioned it. I see that they have IKEA VR Experience, which is also set in an IKEA kitchen. :D

    Good ideas and links, thanks! Is it possible to use SideQuest with Frame and without a Meta account? I understand that a browser with WebXR is coming.
