With all the buzz and excitement around the Gear VR, it’s no surprise that people are looking for some of the best apps they can use with the headset. We’ve got your covered. Before we get into our favorites, let’s take a quick look at what makes an app useful and fun on the Gear VR.
What makes a good app for the Gear VR?
This is an important question to ask before you start downloading apps left and right. The Gear VR is not just a passive entertainment device—it’s meant to be used as an immersive, interactive way to play games, learn new things, discover places you’ve never been, and more. The best apps will work with these qualities in mind:
Uses the full potential of virtual reality
Is interactive
Is easy to use
Best Apps For Gear Vr
Minecraft
Play
Minecraft in VR? If this doesn’t have Gear VRs flying off of store shelves, then we don’t know what will. The Gear VR edition is effectively the same as the other renditions, offering survival and creative modes as well as multiplayer action… only now you’re immersed in the blocky worlds.
Playing in first-person is a real trip, but it can also be overwhelming – which is why a tap of the touchpad can switch to you a windowed view, wherein the game is played on a TV inside a pixelated lodge.
In either case, if you love Minecraft, you’ll certainly want to have it all around you in VR. And if you don’t know Minecraft, now’s the time to try it.
Price: £4.99

Zombie Gunship Raptor
Play
Not thrilled with the idea of getting up close and personal with the undead? Why not pick them off – or pulverise them en masse – from afar? That’s the proposition offered by Zombie Gunship Raptor, which turns the entertaining mobile game into an immersive VR blaster.
From your floating perch in the sky, you’ll mow down the shambling invaders using machine guns and rockets. It’s pretty straightforward and isn’t the longest-lasting experience you’ll find on the Gear VR, but it’s hard to resist the allure of raining hell down from above.
Price: US$3.99

Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay
Play
The Last Jedi put a bit of Star Wars fever back into (some of) its many, many fervent fans, and luckily Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay is here to let us immerse ourselves in a small little segment of the film’s universe.
It’s a pretty simplistic game, but an attractive one at that: you’ll take a role in the titular repair center, fixing up BB-8 and other roly-poly droids as they come in with defects. You’ll pull open the droids, fiddle with their innards, and send them on their way. Droid Repair Bay isn’t the most consequential part of The Last Jedi‘s media barrage, but it’s free and certainly worth checking out if you have a Gear VR.

Augmented Empire
Play
Like Hitman Go, the Gear VR-exclusive Augmented Empire doesn’t really need to exist in virtual reality. After all, you’ll spend most of the game looking down at a grid board, moving characters around and waging turn-based battles.
Even so, this is an incredibly cool game that you can only play on Gear VR, and it might sate your urge to use the headset for something deeper. This cyberpunk-meets-steampunk tactics game offers up great graphics, voice acting from the likes of Kate Mulgrew and Nick Frost, and about 10 hours of gameplay to savour.
Price: £7.99

They Suspect Nothing
Play
Coatsink makes some of the most memorable and entertaining Gear VR games around, like the just-listed Augmented Empire and the Esper series, and now you can add They Suspect Nothing to that list.
They Suspect Nothing takes place in a futuristic world dominated by robots, and you’re trying to blend in as a human wearing makeshift robo-gear. But you’ll have to prove your android origins to the robot leaders by performing a series of tests.
It’s a mini-game collection, and the games themselves are solid fun – but like Coatsink’s other games, it’s the humour and atmosphere that really make They Suspect Nothing stand out.
Price: US$7.99

Oculus Rooms
Play
Got pals who also have the Gear VR? If so, you’ll want to snag the free Oculus Rooms right away – and if your friends have a recent Samsung phone but not the headset, maybe this app will convince them to give Gear VR a shot.
As the name suggests, this app lets you and your mates pop into a virtual room together, allowing you to chat, play a handful of board games, watch videos together, and launch into multiplayer games. It’s the ultimate VR lounge, and an ideal space to hang out – complete with compatibility for your customisable, cartoonish Oculus avatar.
Price: Free

Smash Hit
Play
Smash Hit VR is adapted from a pretty great mobile game, but it’s even better when you’re immersed in this wonderfully destructive experience.
As you’re automatically nudged through rooms filled with minimal geometry, you must toss balls to shatter the glass panes and sculptures peppered along the way.
It’s an arcade experience, really: continued play requires careful aim and smashing every last piece of glass, which gives you extra balls with each toss. In VR, it’s a dazzling experience, full of satisfying thrills and beautiful sights.
Price: £2.29

Hitman Go: VR Edition
Play
Hitman Go scaled down the stealth assassination series for mobile but, surprisingly, it proves a perfect fit for VR, too.
The core concept hasn’t changed here: each hit takes the form of a puzzle on a game board, challenging you to find the best way through threats and around hazards to complete the stage.
Given the game’s perfect faux-plastic look, in VR it really feels like you’re playing on a physical surface with tiny miniature figurines. Hitman Go was already great, and the move to VR makes subtle, smart tweaks that lightly enhance the experience. If we’re lucky, successor Lara Croft Go will make the VR leap anytime now.

Land’s End
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwJ9fiH2Ksw
Land’s End shares some visual commonalities with Monument Valley, the stunning mobile puzzler, but ustwo’s first VR effort is much simpler in approach than that earlier game.
Rather than twisting around the environment to solve brain teasers, you’ll look freely around the sparse, beautiful terrain and use your gaze to progress through breezy puzzles.
While not especially challenging, Land’s End is a delight to take in, as it creates a real sense of atmosphere in the calming, natural terrain – and has just enough mystery to keep you pushing ahead to each new landmark.
