We liked it so much, we named itRoad to VRs Oculus Quest Game of the Yearfor its intense physics-based combat and intriguing story, which has you scrounging around as a new survivor in a post-apocalyptic New Orleans. You can choose to side with rival factions, or walk your own path. Either way, youll need a pointy stick and a gun to survive the hordes of undead. Find out why we gave it a resounding [9/10] in our full review.

Heres a quick breakdown: at its $50 price tag for the more expensive Tourist Edition on PC and PSVR, that gives it a hard bottom of 580,000 units sold. Thats not taking into account that the standard edition sells for $40 on PC and PSVR, and the Tourist Edition for $40 on Quest. That puts it somewhere between 580,000 725,000 total units sold across all platforms, which doesnt account for periodic sales either.

Notably, Skydance says since its launch on Quest in October 2020, the game sold 10 more on Quest in comparison to the Oculus PC version.

Since Quests launch in 2019, the standalone platform has sold over $150 million in games and apps. And Quest 2 has already surpassed the original 2019 Quest in monthly active usersa strong indicator of how rapid things are moving in VR right now.

Looking back, it was only a few months ago when Facebook announced that 20 games on the Oculus Quest platform had surpassed $1 million in revenuea heady thought for anyone whos been following consumer VR since its rebirth in 2016.
