My boyfriend got me an Oculus Quest as an early birthday gift, and while I love it, he loves it wayyyyy more. Does anyone have any game recommendations? Unfortunately, the Oculus Quest does not share a marketplace with the Oculus Rift, and since the Quest has only been out since the summer, there isn't nearly as big of a directory yet compared to the Rift which has been growing its marketplace for years.

congrats on the upgrade from boyfriend to fiance! For a first‑gen Quest, a handful of classics still hold up really well for quick sessions or date‑night competitions: Beat Saber (rhythm cardio; note that Quest 1 is now single‑player only and no longer receives updates, but your purchase is cross‑buy within the Meta/Rift ecosystem), SUPERHOT VR (built specifically to shine untethered on Quest), Vader Immortal (story plus a great lightsaber dojo), Job Simulator (still the best pick‑up‑and‑play crowd‑pleaser), and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (deeper survival with great physics). See the dev FAQs and official pages for current support: Beat Saber FAQ, SUPERHOT Team blog, Vader Immortal support page, Job Simulator launch note, and Saints & Sinners arrives on Quest.

If either of you has a gaming PC, you can open up the larger PC VR catalog by plugging in with Quest Link or going wireless with Air Link on a solid 5 GHz/Wi‑Fi 6 network. Tom’s Hardware has a clear step‑by‑step on pairing and launching over Air Link you can follow in minutes: How to play PC VR games wirelessly with a Meta Quest.

Small gotchas for the original Quest: some live services and updates have been sunset by developers, so expect fewer feature updates on older builds. Example: Beat Saber ended Quest 1 multiplayer and updates on Nov 2, 2024, though it remains playable and cross‑buy across Meta/Rift, and Pistol Whip no longer updates on Quest 1 but older content still runs. Check support notes before buying: Beat Saber FAQ, Pistol Whip Quest 1 support FAQ. And , co‑op wave modes are a much safer relationship test than wallpapering.

Hello how are you today?

I’m doing good. My boyfriend is now my fiancé, and we are quarantined in our home for now.

That should test the relationship. Have you ever wallpapered together? That's usually a deal breaker.
