The Best VR Games On Android And iOS

There are all kinds of VR games available for consoles and PC. From gigantic open-world VR adventures to even educational experiences, those who can afford pricey VR headsets and accompanying consoles or PCs have a lot to enjoy. However, for those stuck on mobile devices, it may feel as if the pickings are slim.

These VR games will get you moving in no time.

Fortunately, that’s absolutely not the case, as there are a plethora of incredible VR video games on mobile devices. From exploring the depths of a hidden temple to racing across fruit-themed tracks, these VR games are sure to entertain the budding VR enthusiast on mobile.

Updated February 1, 2025 By Matthew Mckeown: Whilst mobile VR games may seem like an accidental smashed phone waiting to happen, it’s safer than you think. The tech for headsets has improved substantially and now you can slot your smartphone into a peripheral and off you go.

When it comes to finding mobile VR games though, it can be a little tricky. You’ll either find a timewaster, or something that might melt your phone. To help get you started on filling out your phone's gaming library somewhat, here’s an updated look at some of the best VR games on mobile.

One place you’ll always find something odd and fun is Itch.io. There’s a wealth of solo made games and Sky On Fire: 1940 is the perfect example of this. This simple VR game takes place in the early years of World War 2 during the famous Battle of Britain.

Take to the air as the British and French defenders, or try to conquer the skies over Europe as Germany and Italy. There’s a wealth of iconic and classic aircraft such as the Hurricane and Spitfire, as well as a few beefy German Junkers to trundle along in. There’s also multi-crew positions if you fancy taking on the tailgunner seat, and mission editors if you want to create your own oldschool dogfighting mayhem.

An adorable game for your Android from Itch, A Droids Life has you playing in VR as a simple little robot in a futuristic setting in space and your goal is to help rescue your human buddy. This involves going room to room, solving puzzles and figuring your way around from your view at just above floor height.

It’s a very simple yet satisfying game that will entertain you for a few hours and has some genuinely interesting puzzle situations to solve. There’s quite a bit of lateral thinking required and it’s not too demanding on your phone, so you won’t have to worry about your face getting overly hot as tends to be the problem for phone games. If you’re looking for a simple escape, then check out A Droids Life.

A game that’s trying its hardest to differentiate itself from Rabbids, Oddbods Hidden Objects VR is surprisingly charming once you get into it. A simple concept, Oddbods has you helping out these chaotic critters as you hunt around for things they’ve lost.

There’s multiple levels to blow through and some cleverly hidden objects that will take a lot of patience to find. The levels are fairly large and there’s enough of them that you’ll be entertained for a few hours at least. It’s great for young audiences with too much energy, and generally a fairly wholesome experience for adults looking for something chill and calm.

Don’t let the name throw you off, InCell VR from Luden.io is a racing game that takes you down to the microscopic level. Instead of blasting around a track in a supercar, instead you’re flying through cellular systems within the human body.

Seems there’s a virus advancing through the body and only you can blast it apart as you fly through arterial systems, nerve clusters and other ganglion rendered artistically in bright neon and abstract shapes. It’s a unique world to place a racing game in, but it works surprisingly well. Despite it being a bit long in the tooth now, InCell VR is a fun reason to strap on that heavy headset for a few minutes.

If you’ve got an Android phone and a VR app you’ll be able to experience the spine-tingling horror of Return To Northberry Grove. An indie horror that’s making some positive waves over on Itch.io, it’s got a simple premise and some good scares.

You play as Liam Murphy, a young aspiring actor who has a less than stellar weekend with friends after the emergence of the Butcher of Northberry Grove. What follows is a fight for survival in the wilderness that’s straight out of a classic Slasher horror film. Escape those woods alive, if you can.

It’s a bad time to go to the funfair according to The Moonlight Circus. After waking up in the Big Top with an empty syringe in your arm it’s a rocketing rollercoaster ride into terror shortly after. This simple yet very unsettling mobile VR game available on Itch.io was made by a team of seven as a University project, but quickly became a popular game on the platform.

Fuel your nightmares with these absolutely terrifying VR games.

Totally free to download with a surprisingly interesting story that’s well narrated, The Moonlight Circus taps into all those fears of being alone in somewhere unsettling after the lights go out. Avoid being capture by the local wandering creeps and get home in one piece from this Big Top nightmare once and for all.

A fast and frantic arcade Battle Royale style game but with a kickball, Blade Ball is simple on the surface but full of tricks once you start digging into it. The premise is simple, smack the ball that’s constantly seeking out a target away from you, and don’t get hit. That’s it.

Competitors get whittled down as the match goes on, and the majority of wins are going to come down to your ability to track the ball and sheer reflexes alone. Available in third person and VR, Blade Ball can be accessed on the app store, or the developers website. Although you need to create an account to use the latter.

Another ball themed virtual reality game, Space Ball VR is a mix of rocket league and basketball all thrown into one. Matches are chaotic, fast and with customisation options for your character you can have some pretty funny moments when players collide with each other.

Currently there’s just Basketball and Football, but with abilities that let you dash, fly and rocket across the ground at high speed, it’s not your standard ball game here. Matches can be your standard three versus three, two against two or a one on one if you’ve got the ball skills to flex. Overall, if you like a sporty game with a lot of movement required, you’ll get a kick out of Space Ball VR.

A chaotic room for maniacs, VR Physics Playground is kinda like BoneWorks, but more basic, available on your mobile and completely free at Itch.io. It’s a very low thrills game, but you can get a lot of enjoyment out of creating your own scenarios and messing about with the unexpectedly solid gunplay.

You’ve only got the one area to run around in since it is more of a tech demo than a functioning game. But you can climb, vault and set up your mannequins for cool combos however you like so it’s fun for a few hours if you’ve got time to kill. Plus, it’s quick to setup and get running.

An old-school rail-shooter that puts you on literal rails, VR Zombie Killer Rollercoaster is a simple yet charming mobile FPS VR game that’s good for killing a few hours of boredom. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with undead, the game sees you strapped into a Rollercoaster that takes a whistle-stop tour of a number of ghoul-filled locales.

You’re locked into your rail car, it’s a target-rich environment and you’ve got a lot of arcade-feeling guns to blast them apart with. To keep things fresh there are also AI droids and turrets that’ll take potshots at you and if your mobile battery dies, you can continue playing on a tablet. So you’ve got a bit of versatility with this game.

The VR shooting is very reactive, so you don’t have to swing your arms around too much for it to register.

A close friend and brilliant scientist on the cusp of a groundbreaking breakthrough has disappeared and only you can find them. Embark on a chilling adventure in VR that’s filled with all sorts of intrigue and dark mysteries that involve secret societies, fantastical technology, and conspiracy.

Prepare yourself for the best first-person shooters on the PlayStation VR!

In Season One of Shadows of Truth you play as a detective who has to navigate through various nightmares, avoid agents of the secret sect you’re trying to reveal, and solve a number of brain-teasing detective-themed puzzles. With 14 episodes to work through and daily challenges that encourage replayability through rewards, Shadows Of Truth is a fun jaunt for a few hours in VR.

Shadows Of Truth does have microtransactions.

A Creepy Pasta that got way out of hand, the Backrooms is a fan-created liminal space world that’s been transitioned to games in the Indie sphere time and time again. There are a few duds, but this one and Escape The Backrooms are the few that shine through.

Backrooms is another such title that started on PC but has now transitioned over to mobile, and in VR too. So you can explore around those halogen bulb-filled spaces of architectural terror any time or anywhere you want. Featuring three game modes that include, Classic, Deaf, and Free, this free-to-play mobile VR game is worth adding to your collection.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Backrooms, take some time to dig into that Iceberg. It’s a very interesting concept that’s similar to SCPs and has a lot of brilliant horror elements.

A beautiful and simple VR music game, Hand Particle lets you wave around and shape flowing particles to a rhythmic beat from one of their many tracks. Create flowing waves, neon traces of shapes, and all other sorts of colorful displays as the soundtrack thrums away.

One of the best features of Hand Particle is that it tracks your individual fingers, so you can do big vague waves or little specific and sharp shapes. It’s all up to how wild you let your imagination go. It’s low stakes, good for zoning out, and above all else, free.

If you get tired of the music in Hand Particle you can upload your own tracks. However, it does take a bit of file conversion to do it as the game only supports one Audio file type.

A mobile VR game that will leave you feeling a little compressed, Crushing Pressure is a Claustrophobic nightmare as it locks you in a tiny submarine at the bottom of the ocean. Deep within an underground cave system is your submersible, and after a research expedition goes catastrophically wrong it’s up to you to save your friends and survive.

You’ve got a tiny remote-controlled drone at your disposal and a small sub full of buttons and scanners to control your vehicle and there are a lot of tight turns ahead. Find clues to getting out and keep your sub running before it’s too late. If you liked Iron Lung, you’ll love Crushing Pressure.

Crushing Pressure is also available on PC at itch.o.

A simple yet surprisingly satisfying mobile VR game to kill some time in, Galaxy Wars brings intense space battles to your phone screen. You control the turret of a ship that’s sent out to defend a mothership from oncoming waves of enemy fighters.

There’s a full 360-degree range of movement, so it’s best played standing up in a nice open area where you can turn around without hitting something easily breakable. All you need to do is look at the enemies for the gun to open fire, so it’s not too strenuous and good for a few hours.

A classic VR game that got a lot of praise, now you can take your time breaking action movie escapades on the go with Super Hot Mobile. Similar to the first game, time only moves when you move, and standing in your way is an army of red-shaded enemies wielding all sorts of weaponry.

This exciting puzzle game can be played in VR and without, plus it’s not just a retread of old ground. This time there’s a bunch of new enemies to take on and new levels that will test your combat capabilities. For those looking to push their limits, there’s also an endless mode to try.

Super Hot Mobile is shorter than the PC version, but it allows the same amount of freeform movement.

If you’re after exciting arcade action then Minos Starfighter VR should find a home on your phone. Compatible with Google Cardboard, there’s been a lot of attention paid to detail despite it being a mobile game. Your starfighter is covered in all sorts of important and helpful readouts, isn’t too claustrophobic, and is surprisingly responsive with its turning circle.

You can enjoy these VR games from the comfort of your couch.

Best of all, Minos Starfighter VR supports controllers. So you can save yourself some neck pain by syncing up a controller and taking your starship for a spin. Destroy massive ships in deep space and prove that you’re the best starfighter around.

It's highly recommended to play Minos Starfighter sitting down with a controller.

A low-cost, minimalist hybrid of a game that blends FPS, exploration, and a layer of puzzles. Wrong Voyage from Fguillotine is a small-stakes mobile VR game that’s short, strange, and yet interesting. Explore the alien constructs of the world you find yourself lost in and try to make some semblance of what’s happened and your role in it all.

A purely single-player experience, Wrong Voyage can be quite immersive and downright unsettling at times as you try to figure it all out. If you like mobile games that are a bit avante-garde, then Wrong Voyage might be one worth checking out.

The first chapter in what’s been described as a series of horror games based on Otherworld Interactive’s Sisters, this spooky VR mobile game works best when played alone and with headphones. There’s nothing to defend yourself with, so you can only watch the terror unfold around you and thankfully the tracking of your movement is fast and reactive.

So you don’t have that few seconds of lag that plagues other games and just makes you feel ill. The house you’re trapped in is large, eery and there’s plenty of opportunities to drop a big scare on you when it’s least expected. Tension is kept nice and high throughout, but just be careful you don’t toss your phone in fright.

You can move around quite a bit in this game, so try to not accidentally knock over any lamps.

A mix of Bomber Man meets Super Smash Brothers, BombSqaud VR by Eric Froemling is a fast-paced multiplayer game that descends into mayhem in seconds. All it requires is a mobile-compatible gamepad and a few friends for the fun to begin.

Outside of the main versus mode, there’s also a wealth of minigames to try to keep things fresh and interesting for you and your mobile gaming mates. There’s Capture the Flag, Racing, Hockey, Football, and the ability to play in teams against the AI if you want to test your teamwork skills. With a range of customization options for your particular bomber, BombSqaud VR is a solid pick for VR mobile games.

BombSqaud VR is a great party game that's highly recommended for groups.
