List of Oculus Rift games explained

Video games marketed by the Oculus VR company are designed for the Oculus Rift and other Oculus virtual reality headsets. Oculus games are platform locked, and unlike other competing platforms Oculus does not provide software serials.[1] [2]

Natural locomotion

Natural locomotion games only use the motion and rotation of the player's head, without apparent camera movement induced by a thumbstick or keyboard.

Games marked * have optional artificial locomotion, where teleportation can be added to natural locomotion.

Cockpit locomotion

Cockpit locomotion games use a vehicle with a cockpit to let the players traverse an environment. Whether this causes motion sickness varies based on multiple factors, including: the player's constitution, the size of the cockpit, and the intensity of motion.

Artificial locomotion

These games artificially move the "camera", such as thumbstick player movement or on rails camera movement. They can allow for a wider range of experiences, but can cause motion sickness and can be detrimental to presence.
