There’s actually an entire category dedicated to free games and apps and we’ve gone through it to find the gems you should check out!
Night sky
When you start, you sit next to a crackling fire under a blanket of stars. Using the Gear VR controller, you can connect the stars in different constellations. When you do this, these constellations will come to life in the sky around you. It’s fun, quirky, and a great lightweight game for anyone new to Gear VR.
The game uses the power of the Gear VR controller and manipulator, which is easy to use even if you are not used to virtual reality. Those constellations that come alive? They are fantastic and fun to look at, and range from birds flying around to a pirate ship gliding through the clouds.

Face your fears
One of the most fun ways to scare your friends in virtual reality is with a scary game. Face Your Fears is a game set in different environments where who knows what lurks in the shadows. Every environment is a little different and there is always something lurking in the dark. From giant robots wreaking havoc, to snakes in the dark, to a poltergeist hiding in a closet, each level offers something different.
This game is quite simple, it requires you to look around and experience each environment and what happens in it. It may not technically be a game, but we love to scare our friends; Face to face with your fears is a fun way to do it.

heavenly light
It’s time for some ship battles, but not the ones where you shoot from the cockpit. Skylight forces you to direct battles on a much larger scale. You will lead battles with various types of ships against the enemy, from small squads of fighters to clumsy capital ships. It’s a turn-based game where every move counts and it really makes you think before you order your ships into battle.
While you get access to eight different types of ships and ten campaigns, it’s not the full game. You can purchase the full version for $4.99; this gives you an additional 20 campaign missions and 4 more types of ships to fight. A multiplayer mode is also available, allowing you to fight with rivals, which makes this game great for fans of fantasy.

Temple Run VR
You may remember Temple Run as a mobile game where you ran from a beast that was biting you on your heels. This is an update to this game made to be played in VR. This time around, you’re haunted by a snowy world populated by vicious yetis who aren’t really surprised by your presence. When escaping, you will have to choose your paths and hope that you do not meet an untimely end.
Using the Gear VR’s touchpad, you’ll have to jump, dodge, and roll to get past arctic monkeys and random traps. This game can definitely be a bit stressful as you move pretty fast, but it’s just as addictive as its mobile counterpart.
