The worlds that developers have built using VR are fantastic. There's nothing like jumping into your favorite genre to experience what it would be like in real life. The only thing that would make it better is sharing these worlds with others. A shared experience builds bonds and creates a unique experience that solo playing cannot offer.

You can take control of a starship, play a collectible card game, or destroy zombies with fellow VR enthusiasts. The games on this list allow you to enjoy all that VR offers with friends and other players worldwide. Will you work together or try to beat other players?
