Social VR for Oculus Headsets

Social virtual reality, or social VR, offers opportunities for people to get together in a 3D computer-generated world using a VR headset. In a VR social app, users appear as avatars of their choice in an environment that can feel as lifelike as the real world around them. Since the Oculus Quest 2 is a popular and affordable virtual reality headset, there are many options available for social VR for the Quest 2. Each of these social apps can be especially good for different uses; some are meant to offer workspaces where coworkers from all over the world can get together to brainstorm new ideas and work on current projects, while other social VR Oculus Quest apps are designed to be spaces where people chat with friends, play games, or watch movies together.

Social VR for Oculus Headsets

Here are a few of the best social VR apps for Oculus headsets today:

  • VRChat: VRChat is one of the most popular social VR apps on all virtual reality platforms, but this is especially true on the Oculus Quest 2. In this app, you can create an avatar designed to look like anything you want from a re-creation of yourself to any character or meme you enjoy. VRChat has an open-world concept with plenty of different types of spaces, making it a great hangout for you and all of your friends.
  • AltspaceVR: AltspaceVR is a popular VR social space that allows for large groups of individuals to be present in a single space, which is why it has become a popular app for hosting live shows, red carpet premieres, and even live conversations with celebrities.
  • Rec Room: Similar to VRChat, Rec Room is a cross-platform social app for talking to people and playing games. It’s more focused on games and has a somewhat simpler aesthetic.
  • Bigscreen: Bigscreen is an Oculus VR social app best known as a space to sit down with friends or strangers to watch movies, TV, or sporting events. You can hook it up to a streaming service and watch anything that the service has to offer.
  • Horizon Worlds: This virtual space is designed specifically for Oculus headsets and is intended to be a place where people can come together to explore, play, and enjoy a realistic 3D world. This app is still in beta, so there are plenty of new developments to come!
  • Mozilla Hubs: Unlike the other social VR platforms, Mozilla Hubs isn’t technically an app; it’s a VR-compatible Web-based social experience where people can join a room in one click from any platform.
