Now that out-of-store distribution options are officially available, we’ve put together the 12 VR games that debuted with Quest Lab App today. Try it now!
Here is the complete list of all 12 games. Remember that while some of them are free, like the beta version of Ancient Dungeon and several demos, many of them are paid apps. The payment process is handled exactly as in the real Oculus Quest store.

Just click on the link and proceed through the landing page as usual. If you are on your cell phone, it must open within the Oculus application. If you are on a PC, make sure to log into your Facebook / Oculus account through the website before clicking.
For more details on the App Lab, check out our announcement article this morning. As a summary, these apps will now appear in your real library instead of “Unknown apps” and will qualify for developer updates automatically, without the need to sideload or connect the headset to a PC.
However, they will not appear in the store or be promoted / marketed in the headset itself. You will need to rely on SideQuest, YouTube, sites like ours, social media and so on to find out about the new App Lab games on Quest. It is not a perfect solution, but it is better than it was a day ago.
SideQuest seems committed to working with Facebook to act as an extension and bridge between the indie VR community and the Quest headset, so it’s great news going forward.
Which of these 12 is your favorite App Lab for Quest game so far? Personally, I think I’m partial to Ancient Dungeon as a huge RPG fan. Let me know in the comments below!
