As we near a decade of consumer VR availability, the industry is looking and feeling more mature than ever. Standalone headsets like the Meta Quest have taken the lion's share of the market share, and for good reason!

These headsets work like a portable console — a Nintendo Switch for your face, if you will — and are fun for quick pick-up-and-play sessions anywhere you want.

The popularity of the Meta Quest has created a boom in available VR games and accessories, and it's sometimes hard to decide what to pick up next. Do you love RPGs or strategy games? Social-first experiences or single-player narrative adventures? Or maybe you just like to spend 20-30 minutes a day playing that addicting new puzzle game to get your brain going in the morning.

Are you a first-time VR user, a lapsed Quest 2 user, or unhappy with your current headset? Start out with our in-depth guides on the latest and greatest VR headsets today, how they compare, which one you'd probably like, and the best deals available.

If you already have a Quest 3 or Quest 3S, we can point you to some of our favorite Quest gaming experiences and the accessories that make your headset more immersive!

Maybe you're more interested in what comes next for the world of VR? We have info on all the leaked and confirmed headsets like the Quest 4 and Project Moohan that'll get you pumped for what's next.
