heise online published its selection of the best virtual reality games for October 2026 on Wednesday. The German technology outlet's roundup covers titles across four platforms: Meta Quest, SteamVR, Pico and PS VR2.
According to heise online, the list spans the major VR ecosystems currently in use, grouping recommendations by headset and storefront rather than by genre. The publication's summary does not name individual games or provide review scores, so the specific titles included in the October selection are not detailed in the available material.
The roundup arrives as VR hardware remains split across several competing platforms. Meta Quest and Pico represent the standalone, all-in-one side of the market, while SteamVR serves PC-tethered headsets and PS VR2 connects to Sony's PlayStation 5 console. Buyers choosing software therefore face a fragmented landscape, where a game available on one platform may not appear on another. Monthly, platform-by-platform recommendation lists like this one are a common way for outlets to help users navigate that split.
heise online has not indicated how often the feature runs or whether it will continue on a monthly schedule. Readers tracking the VR release calendar should watch for the outlet's next platform-by-platform selection, and for confirmation of which specific titles made the October cut.
