Everything you need to know about VRDB, how our rankings work, and where our data comes from.
VRDB is the most comprehensive database for VR games and apps. We track thousands of titles across the Meta Quest Store and App Lab, providing price history, ratings, reviews, and detailed game information to help you discover and compare VR content.
Yes, VRDB is completely free to use. All features including price tracking, game comparisons, and browsing are available at no cost.
No. VRDB is an independent website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected with Meta Platforms, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. We aggregate publicly available information to help VR enthusiasts make informed decisions.
We collect data directly from the Meta Quest Store, including prices, ratings, reviews, release dates, and app details. This data is refreshed multiple times per day to keep everything up to date.
App details and prices are refreshed every few minutes throughout the day. Trending rankings are recalculated every 30 minutes. This means you are always seeing near-real-time data when browsing VRDB.
VRDB covers games and apps across multiple VR platforms: Meta Quest (Quest 3S, 3, Pro, 2, and the original Quest), Apple Vision Pro, PlayStation VR and PSVR 2, Android XR, SteamVR, and legacy Oculus Rift headsets. The Meta Quest Store is our most comprehensive dataset, but we are continuously expanding coverage across other platforms.
Trending rankings are based on review velocity — specifically, the percentage increase in reviews a game has received over the past week. A game that goes from 100 to 150 reviews in a week (50% growth) would rank higher than a game going from 1,000 to 1,200 (20% growth). Only games with at least 50 reviews are eligible for the trending lists. This system highlights games that are gaining momentum right now, regardless of their total review count.
Top Releases shows the newest games, ranked by a quality score that combines both review count and average rating. Games with more reviews and higher ratings rank higher. This ensures that new releases that are actually being played and well-received rise to the top, rather than just listing everything by release date.
Each month, we rank games released during that month based on their early reception — specifically, how many reviews they received and what their average rating was during the first 30 days after release. This gives a fair snapshot of which new releases made the biggest impact when they launched.
Balanced Rating is the default sorting method on VRDB. It combines a game's average star rating with its total number of reviews to surface games that are both well-reviewed and widely played. This prevents a game with a single 5-star review from outranking a game with thousands of positive reviews. The more reviews a game has at a high rating, the higher its balanced score.
No. All rankings on VRDB are fully algorithmic. There is no paid placement, sponsored listings, or editorial curation. Every game is ranked using the same formulas based on publicly available review and rating data from the Meta Quest Store.
Since all rankings are driven by reviews and ratings from the Meta Quest Store, the best way to improve visibility on VRDB is to build a great game that people want to review positively. Games that see a surge in new reviews will naturally appear in the trending lists. Games with strong ratings and review counts will rank well in top releases. There is no shortcut or application process — the algorithm treats every game equally.
Each game page includes a full description, trailers and screenshots, current price and price history chart, user ratings with star breakdown, comfort rating, supported platforms and controllers, genre and tags, cross-buy status, language support, age rating, developer and publisher info, and recent developer updates. Where available, we also show estimated playtime via HowLongToBeat integration.
The comfort rating indicates how likely a game is to cause motion sickness. Games are rated as "Comfortable for Most," "Comfortable for Some," or "Comfortable for Few." These ratings come directly from the Meta Quest Store and are based on the type of movement and camera control the game uses. If you are new to VR, starting with games rated "Comfortable for Most" is recommended.
Cross-buy means you purchase a game once and can play it on both Meta Quest (standalone) and Oculus Rift (PC VR) without buying it again. Not all games support cross-buy — it is up to the developer. VRDB shows cross-buy status on each game page, and you can filter for cross-buy games using the dedicated Cross Buy page.
App Lab is Meta's distribution channel for experimental and early-access VR apps. These games are not listed in the main Quest Store — they can only be found via direct links or through databases like VRDB. App Lab titles go through basic safety review but are not fully curated, which means quality varies. Many popular games started on App Lab before graduating to the main store.
VRDB has been tracking prices since November 2024. Every price change, sale, and discount since then is recorded and displayed on each game's price history chart. You can see the current price, all-time low, and the full history of price changes over time.
Every game page on VRDB includes a full price history chart showing how the price has changed over time. You can see current prices, historical lows, and whether a game is currently on sale. Use the "On Sale" page to browse all current discounts.
