Gorilla Tag is the best free VR game for Quest owners. Its official site describes it as free on Quest, and its Meta store listing says it has over 12 million players and shows a 4.4 rating from about 173K ratings, by far the most ratings of any game here. You move only by pushing off surfaces with your arms, with no buttons, sticks or teleporting, and chase or flee other players in tag and infection rounds. Another Axiom says it updates every two weeks and has added ropes, ziplines, swimming, hang gliders and hoverboards, plus Share My Blocks and Virtual Stump for player-made maps. A ranked mode serves competitive players. The downsides: it needs an internet connection, lists English as its only language, sells in-game items, and the Steam PC VR version costs $19.99. Parents should note that the game involves user interaction with strangers online.
