Pavlov Shack Beta
OG. Originally released on Steam in 2017, Pavlov continues to be the go-to option for fans of the classical FPS in VR. Often compared to Counter strike it features realistic weapons mechanics, 5 vs 5 competitive and social game modes. The Quest version of the game is still in beta, so enjoy the price tag of free while you can. It also supports mods and most notably custom maps (like Dust 2, Nuketown) and some game modes like Gun Game, Team deathmatch, and Seach and destroy.
Hibow
Great multiplayer bow-wielding action game with some strategy mixed into it. The moving around takes a little getting used to, but once you get it, it's really fun. You move by drawing your bow and launching yourself flying in the direction of the shot. Zig-zag in the air while popping your targets even before hitting the ground. It sounds nauseating but the developers of Hibow made a great job and it feels excellent.
Echo VR
Free multiplayer version of hugely popular single-player Oculus exclusive title Lone Echo. A zero-g disc-throwing friend-punching (and wall-punching) sport with a very competitive nature. You will be playing intense 4v4 multiplayer where you need to get the frisbee in the opponent's goal while defending your own. If you like the idea of VR esports Echo VR is a must-try, if you prefer bows instead of frisbees there is an excellent paid choice called Nock (Rocket league in VR).
Hannah in a Choppa 3
The next installment of the hugely popular flash puzzle game that you can now enjoy in VR. It has simple and charming visuals, great puzzles, and mechanics that change every level.

Developers Commuter Games are already working on the next installment Downtown Club which should come out later this year.
Gorilla Tag
Love it or hate it Gorilla Tag, is a hugely popular multiplayer game with unique locomotion and infectious gameplay. You play a simple game of tag while running climbing and jumping around a low poly forest area with a bunch of other monkeys. It was revolutionary when it came out with its unique locomotion that proved that people are ready for quite a nauseating movement. It spawned its own genre and there are more games coming out with this type of movement. Notably No More Rainbows Beta and Flying Squirrel Chase.
VRChat
Most popular social VR platform where users could interact with each other in 25 000+ community-created worlds.

With some knowledge of game development, you can easily create your own virtual world or avatar of your liking. If you like to try virtual socializing, VRChat is definitely the place to go. Just beware it can get pretty weird sometimes.
