List of Oculus Rift games

Video games marketed by the Oculus VR company are designed for the Oculus Rift and other Oculus virtual reality headsets. Oculus games are platform locked, and unlike other competing platforms Oculus does not provide software serials.[1][2]

Natural locomotion

edit

Natural locomotion games only use the motion and rotation of the player's head, without apparent camera movement induced by a thumbstick or keyboard.

Games marked * have optional artificial locomotion, where teleportation can be added to natural locomotion.
