Comics have always been about seeing the world through someone else's mask. VR is the closest a game has come to putting that mask on you. These are the superhero and comic book VR games worth your time, plus three VR classics to play first if the headset is new. Check the platform on each game's store page before you buy.
Batman: Arkham Shadow
The best comic book game in VR. Camouflaj's 2024 game continues the Arkham series on Meta Quest 3 and 3S. You glide, grapple and fight as Batman in Gotham, with the series' detective vision and gadgets built for your hands. If you own a Quest 3 or 3S, start here.

Marvel's Iron Man VR
Also by Camouflaj. You fly with your palms as repulsors, and that one idea makes it unlike any other game. It launched on PlayStation VR in 2020 and came to Meta Quest later. The story pits Tony Stark against Ghost.
Marvel's Deadpool VR
Twisted Pixel's Deadpool game launched on November 18, 2025, for Meta Quest 3 and 3S. It is loud, violent and full of fourth-wall jokes, as it should be. Mature players only.
Batman: Arkham VR
Rocksteady's short 2016 VR experience. It is closer to a detective story than an action game, and it is two hours at most, but the moment you first put on the cowl is still a highlight.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners
Based on the world of Robert Kirkman's comic. You scavenge, craft and survive in a flooded New Orleans, and every fight with a walker feels heavy. It is the best pick if you want a comic world that is not about superheroes.

VR classics to play first
Beat Saber
Slice blocks to music with two lightsaber-like blades. The perfect first VR game: easy to learn, impossible to master, great exercise.
Half-Life: Alyx
Valve's 2020 PC VR game is still the benchmark for what VR can do. You need a PC VR setup or a Quest connected to a gaming PC.
Asgard's Wrath 2
A huge action RPG on Meta Quest steeped in Norse and Egyptian myth. If you like Thor comics, you will feel at home.
