Music Games on Oculus Quest

An amazing way to spice your day is by immersing yourself in a musical dynasty filled with mysticism and wonder. Music games provide a fantastic addition to VR with motion control, allowing players to enjoy quite realistically. The Oculus Quest music game catalog allows you to explore your styles and rhythms while racking up great scores. For those looking to test out a few titles, here are the best music games Oculus Quest offers.

10. Audica

As a music game, Audica is very unique but surprisingly easy to understand. Instead of getting an instrument, you get two guns. The guns have distinct colors, tasking players to shoot at the targets with a weapon that matches their color. The targets are not your usual enemies; they are actual beats to a song. Occasionally, you get targets tied together, and shooting one reveals multiple others behind it that you have to gun down quickly. The targets appear consecutively with the song's rhythm; hence, you have to master precision in timing.

9. Maestro VR

If you enjoy a more classical approach to music, Maestro VR is your best bet among the music games on Oculus Quest. In this title, you get to own and control your orchestra. You use both hands to conduct many classical musicians through numerous classical music pieces. Players determine the song tempo and use their offhand to instruct the orchestra to crescendo, diminuendo, or begin playing. Being an impeccable conductor is a lot harder than it seems, so the game requires practice to understand. However, the thrill that comes with mastering the art will be worth every minute spent in practice.

8. Virtuoso

Creating your melody sounds thrilling, and Virtuoso gives you a platform to do just that. In this virtual music sandbox, you bring music with instruments explicitly crafted for VR to life. It is nothing short of a music studio where you have the mandate to play around with an array of musical instruments. Understanding the instruments takes time, but they include an interactive tutorial that helps you upgrade your musical skills. Even though they do not offer a wide range of sounds, you can create amazing tunes with this game and have fun.

The best part about this game is that you can import your favorite music to the game easily, and an automatic map is created to match your chosen track.

The VR game Beat Saber is a classic and was among the earliest innovators of music VR games. Players emerge into the game, standing still, holding different colored lightsabers in each hand. Different colored blocks come towards you, and you have to swing the saber in a direction that matches the symbol on the block. The game seems straightforward enough until the blocks come spiraling at you at lightning speed, and you have to dodge out of the way of walls of light. It features an incredible selection of music and offers players the opportunity to add their custom maps.
