However, in borderline cases, we chose to categorize experiences that put a strong focus on educational content over traditional gaming mechanics or objectives (such as Apollo 11 or Mission: ISS) as apps and not games. In some cases, the distinction between what classifies as an app and a game is clear cut.

So depending on your own definitions of what qualifies as a game or app, the percentage breakdown below could shift a bit.

We examined the Oculus sStore listings to break down the numbers behind the content available for the Oculus Quest. There’s also been a handful of Quest exclusive games, and some content that released on Quest first and came to other platforms later. Likewise, some new releases in the last year launched simultaneously on the Quest, while others released on other platforms first and Quest at a later date. Many games that previously released on other platforms have been ported over to the Quest across the course of the year. There were more than 50 apps or games in the launch lineup, and in the months since, the amount of content on the Quest store has increased significantly. The Oculus Quest, Facebook’s standalone all-in-one VR headset, launched in May 2019 and has proven to be popular with developers and consumers alike. Almost a year after launch, the Oculus Quest’s store features 170 apps/games, 82 of which support cross-buy between Quest and the Rift platform.
