Virtual reality gaming headsets are no doubt quite expensive. Even with a significant discount, a headset will set you back several thousands of bucks. Today we are going to mention the best VR games for Android and iOS, that can provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to VR gaming.

Affordable VR gaming is now possible thanks to accessories like Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear, Daydream, and even standalone and efficient VR devices like the Oculus Go.

What IS VR?

Although you may have a smartphone that can support virtual reality, you should double-check first. Even if your phone is capable, you will need a headset and, in some cases, a proper gamepad. If you don't want to spend the extra cash on a gamepad, search for VR games that can be played without one.

The following are games that will work brilliantly with VR:

1. InCell VR (Cardboard)

InCell VR is a fantastic racing and action game that is also educational and informative. You sprint and run through the human body at tremendous speeds in the hope of avoiding any obstacles along the way. You might even pick up a few biological facts while playing the game.

InCell VR is available to download on Google Play and the App Store.

4. Need For Speed™ No Limits VR (Daydream)

This is one of the most expensive VR mobile games on this list. But it's also one of the ones you've probably heard of before.

5. Hidden Temple VR Adventure (Cardboard, Gear VR)

Don't get too thrilled about the game's name. The term "Hidden Temple" appears in Hidden Temple Adventure, but it is unrelated to Nickelodeon's iconic Legends of the Hidden Temple TV show.

Hidden Temple VR Adventure is also one of the top VR games for Android and iOS because of its realistic and immersive gameplay and brilliant visuals. The game even provides accurate graphics to enjoy gameplay to the fullest.
