Did you know the Oculus Quest is basically a powerful mobile device running a modified Android operating system? It’s true. Despite Facebook’s focus on creating a closed-garden Oculus storefront, the virtual reality headset actually supports a relatively easy sideloading system for installing third-party apps. And yes, that includes porn apps.
The Oculus Store offers some apps that can be used to look at porn with your Quest, but for the best options available, you’ll have to plug your VR headset into your computer and enable a few features. But it’s worth the effort if you’re dying for the latest in Oculus Quest porn. Here are our top app recommendations, from first- to third-party.
How to sideload porn apps with SideQuest
While certain Oculus Quest apps will let you access porn from your VR web browser or download videos straight to your computer, third-party apps cannot be natively installed. Instead, you’ll need to sideload Android application packages onto your Quest. Given that a number of dedicated porn apps exist for the Quest outside the Oculus Store, and that some official apps can even be tweaked via sideloading, it’s worth learning the process.
For the most accessible approach, check out SideQuest. This PC program lets you install and manage sideloaded apps on your Quest all through an easy-to-use GUI. The app also features its own store. For installation instructions, head over to SideQuest’s official guide.
Best Oculus Quest web browser for VR porn: Firefox Reality
Your Oculus Quest comes with its own web browser, but while Facebook’s VR arm says it doesn’t track any personally identifying data, it’s understandable if you’re skeptical. For your porn viewing habits, ditch the default browser and go with Firefox Reality instead.
Mozilla’s VR browser supports WebVR successor WebXR; both interfaces let VR porn fans stream 180 and 360-degree VR clips straight from their browser. Firefox Reality also offers users the ability to navigate the internet with just their headset, and the web browser provides enhanced data tracking protection to prevent ads from picking up on your mixed reality behavior. Best of all, Firefox Reality works with your Firefox account, so you can quickly access your porn bookmarks from your desktop or laptop. You can also use your voice in Firefox Reality to quickly search for material. Unlike most of the apps on this list, you can grab Firefox Reality straight from the Oculus Store.
The best VR porn apps for Oculus Quest
Best porn app for watching VR clips: Play’a
Playing videos from your Oculus Quest can be a little confusing, but Play’a makes watching VR porn a breeze. This third-party app lets users quickly and easily navigate to their VR videos, making it a perfect choice for anyone downloading VR porn from a subscription website. Play’a also uses a streamlined control system to let viewers quickly stop, start, and adjust their videos. Users can even initiate a panic mode, should the need arise. Best of all, Play’a loads quickly, so no need to wait around when you’re in the thick of a late-night porn browsing session. Grab Play’a via SideQuest.
Best VR porn game: Captain Hardcore
If you’re a PC VR fan, chances are you’re already familiar with Captain Hardcore. But did you know Captain Hardcore has an Oculus Quest port? Developer AntiZero successfully ported a stripped-down version of the game to Quest in February 2020. The Quest demo features realistic physics, paddles, butt plugs, and even dildos for penetration. Sadly, the hair and fluid physics that power the PC version haven’t made it to Quest yet, but AntiZero has expressed interest in bringing a more advanced port to Quest. Captain Hardcore’s Quest build is freely available from AntiZero’s Patreon, so try out the game for yourself or consider funding its development.
Best overall: Virtual Desktop
Virtual Desktop isn’t literally a VR porn app. It’s actually a VR software suite that lets users broadcast PC VR gameplay from their desktops and onto their Oculus Quest. While the app can be purchased from the Oculus Store, updating it with SideQuest lets users play Oculus and SteamVR games wirelessly on their Quest. Given how cumbersome USB-C cables can be, Virtual Desktop takes away some of the clutter and lets users play any PC VR porn games while lying down in bed. Be warned, you’ll need a fast internet connection and a VR-ready gaming computer to make the most out of Virtual Desktop, but an ethernet cable between your router and gaming PC should do the trick.
