While Oculus doesn’t offer much publicly in the way of understanding how well individual apps are performing across its VR storefronts, it’s possible to glean some insight by looking at apps relative to each other. Here’s a snapshot of the top 20 Oculus Rift games and apps as of July 2020. Some quick qualifications before we get to the data dump: Paid and free apps are separated Early Access apps are not represented Only apps with more than 100 reviews are represented Some apps may have benefited from hardware bundling (like Robo Recall and Lucky’s Tale) Rounded ratings may appear to show ‘ties’ in ratings for some applications, but the ranked order remains correct Best Rated Paid Oculus Rift Apps The rating of each application is an aggregate of user reviews and a useful way to understand the general reception of each title by customers.
