While Oculus doesn’t offer much publicly in the way of understanding how well individual apps are performing across its VR storefronts, it’s possible to glean some insight by looking at apps relative to each other. Here’s a snapshot of the top 20 Oculus Rift games and apps.
Some quick qualifications before we get to the data dump:
- Paid and free apps are separated
- Early access titles are not represented
- Only apps with more than 100 reviews are represented
- Some apps may have benefited from hardware bundling (like Robo Recall and Lucky’s Tale)
- Rounded ratings may appear to show ‘ties’ in ratings for some applications, but the ranked order remains correct
- This is a snapshot as of today, expect positions to shift over time
