On May 21, Facebook will launch Oculus Quest– a standalone VR headset with room-scale positional tracking and Oculus Touch controllers.
Quest is primarily intended for people who don’t already own a gaming PC. But if you do own a PC and a Rift already, you might be wondering if you’ll have to purchase games, experiences, and apps you already own for Rift.
Or if Quest will be your first Oculus headset, you might want to know whether you’d need to re-purchase games if you decide to get a Rift S to enter PC VR in the future.
The answer is that the Oculus store system supports cross-buy, but it’s up to each developer. Here are all the titles we know of with confirmed cross-buy so far. More developers could announce cross-buy between now and Quest launch- not appearing on this list does not mean the developer won’t support the feature.
This list will be continually updated over time.
Angry Birds VR

Angry Birds VR brings the famous mobile game franchise into room scale virtual reality. The spatial nature of VR really really does add to the gameplay.

The original Dead and Buried [8.5/10 on Rift] was unlike most VR shooters in that it didn’t use thumbstick movement. Instead, it was a cover-based experience where the challenge is in breaking cover enough to kill enemies but not so much you get shot. It also had a cooperative zombie horde mode.
Ths sequel features the original modes, but now also includes a full smooth locomotion deathmatch mode that’s reminiscent of Quake.
