If you missed the Meta event, or want a reminder of all the great VR games that were teased, then here are details and trailers for every game that was announced at the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase. Ghostbusters VR

You ready to bust some ghosts? Yep, that's right, a Ghostbusters VR game is headed to the Quest 2 later this year.

As you can see from the trailer, you and a team of three other ghost hunters will have to venture into spooky environments in order to take out the ghosts terrorizing your neighborhood.

There's not too much else that we know right now, but be sure to check back for details as Meta announces more in the run-up to this game's release.
Moss: Book II

Thats right, following its incredible debut on PSVR, Moss: Book II is headed to the Quest 2 this Summer (thats June, July or August).

Much like the original, Moss: Book II has delighted players with its unique take on the classic adventure game. From your VR perspective, you can manipulate the environment so that Quill can complete various puzzles and
take down enemies.

Book II continues the adventures of Quill following her successful rescue of her Uncle Argus in Book I. Things wont be easy though as Quill is hunted by a winged tyrant who seems hell bent on preventing her from ending the rule of the Arcane. Beat Saber: Electronic Mixtape

Beat Saber is set to expand its song library with a tracklist dedicated to your favorite EDM tunes. This will include songs from major artists like Deadmau5, Marshmello, and Pendulum - as well as the much-memed Sandstorm from Darude.

The latest Beat Saber updates - like the OST 5 and the Fall Out Boy add-ons - are some of the games best yet.
