The Best VR Accessories of 2025

For my money games like Topgolf Golf+ And Mini golf walk are That amazing apps for VR headsets – and I've never played golf in my life. There's something about the action of golf that translates perfectly to virtual reality. It already feels real, but you can always take it up a notch by attaching a putter. Golf clubs are long and heavy, while VR controllers are squat and light. Weighted clubs solve this problem and DriVR Elite by DeadEyeVR this is the one who needs to be defeated. The artificial driver integrates with Meta Quest headsets, and the iron core provides much-needed weight. It's not as long as the real thing, but it's actually good for your windows and furniture. If you prefer miniature golf, check out the company's line of clubs.

First-person shooters are another good genre for VR, but standard controllers don't cut it. For added realism, integrate your controllers with some kind of weapon stock attachment. We recommend this accessory from the renowned accessory manufacturer AMVR. In fact it comes with two gun butt accessories so you can live out your dual wielding dream like a real badass from a John Woo movie. They also look pretty cool, with an aesthetic reminiscent of old NES light gun accessory. The only caveat? These are designed to work with the new Quest controllers, so the only viable headsets are the Quest 3 and 3. However, if you have one of these headsets, you're sure to start smashing games like Arizona Sunshine, Population: One and, of course, a rhythm shooter Pistol whip.

There are a surprising number of great VR games that feature the bow as their primary weapon. In death: freed, Dungeons of Eternity And Survival Nation First, they all feature solid archery mechanics. Gameplay typically involves you pulling one controller back while holding the other in place to simulate the motions of shooting an arrow. This is good, but it reduces the realism a bit. Shadow Shot accessory from DeadEyeVR I don't just want to use a bow, it's is real onion. Controllers are attached to each end and you stand back and shoot. For real archers, the learning curve should be close to zero. For beginners, this can be a fun way to learn the basics of the sport.

Let's get this out of the way first: any pair of wired headphones will work with any VR headset. SteelSeries Arctis Nova 4 The headphones aren't designed specifically for VR headsets, but they do have plenty of features for enthusiasts. They have 360-degree spatial audio that's a game-changer in VR, an AI microphone that reduces ambient noise, and a fully customizable equalizer that comes in handy when streaming videos or listening to music on a VR headset.

This Also wireless headphones with Bluetooth that connects to almost everything. But you can still connect directly while moving through the VR space to reduce latency. However, when connected to a wireless network, you will get 36 hours of battery life and a fast charging feature that charges the headphones in just 15 minutes.

Let's be honest: the straps that come with most VR headsets, including the Quest line, aren't that great. That's why people tend to change them to more convenient third-party products. Another problem with standalone VR headsets? Battery life is usually shorter than sleep time. You can kill two virtual birds with two virtual stones using a head strap with an internal battery. KIWI Design K4 Offers about three hours of extra juice, and has a convenient and balanced design. The included battery helps balance the weight, so using this strap helps reduce stress on your head and neck.

There is no suitable place to store the VR headset. You can put it on a counter somewhere or try to find an unused drawer, but both of these options are not entirely ideal. This is where custom stands come in handy, as they provide a nice, cozy place for both the headset and its controllers. This one from AMVR is our favorite. It is inexpensive, durable and, most importantly, has a virtually universal design. This stand can accommodate almost any headset, including Quest 3, Pico 4, PSVR 2 and even Apple Vision Pro. There are side brackets for controllers and a tray at the bottom for other accessories (such as an AVP battery pack).

From supernatural in a boxing simulator The thrill of combat Exercise apps have become the de facto system vendors for VR headsets. If you're serious about virtual training, consider standard weighted training gloves. These are not special VR gloves, and they are not particularly complex. These are simply well made weighted gloves that will give your workout a boost. They will not only increase the effectiveness of your cardio training, but will also help increase muscle mass in your shoulders and arms. Needless to say, they'll add a bit of immersion to boxing simulators like Credo: Rise to Glory And The thrill of combat. Ringside gloves are available in two-pound and four-pound versions and, of course, they can be used not only in the virtual but also in the real gym.

While many games allow you to sit and play, standing is truly the best way to immerse yourself in a rich virtual environment. However, this comes with some risks as you could step over a pet or knock over a piece of furniture. These headsets usually come with software that prevents you from going beyond predefined boundaries, but it's not foolproof. Something like Rug Skywin VR will inform you about this as soon as you leave the field. Plus, it's thick, soft, and much more comfortable to stand on than hard floors.

There are many of these mats available, and they work with any VR headset. We chose the Skywin because of its 35-inch circumference, which is large enough to move around in but small enough for apartment dwellers.

Moving a VR headset from place to place can be a frustrating experience, as anyone who's wrapped it in a T-shirt during a flight can attest. You need a durable, long-lasting carrying case that provides a convenient place to store your headset and controllers when not in use. Casematics The inexpensive hard case works right out of the box with original Quest, Quest 2 and Quest 3 games. But if your headset has a unique design, the inside is padded with easy-to-cut foam. You can also do the same with accessories. The carrying handle is comfortable to hold and the solid body is durable. The price is also reasonable: this thing costs $35, and most cases from the manufacturer cost twice that, with Meta's branded cases costing around $70.

Meta headsets are standalone, so you can play hundreds of games without connecting external hardware. However, they also work well with a PC if you have a connection cable. This gives you wired access to exclusive PC games from the Steam store and other sources. Sure, the Quest 3 and 3 are powerful, but even they can't run some of the best PC VR games like incredible Half-life: Alix. There are many different jumper cables available, but Meta's own version is probably the best. It's durable, over 16 feet long, and works with the entire Quest line, including just released Quest 3s.

Standalone VR headsets help reduce cable clutter, but a dedicated cable management system finishes the job. NexiGo VR Cable Management System includes a series of ceiling hooks and adhesive mounts in addition to traditional screws for a more durable solution. All headset cables hang from the ceiling and are out of the way when not in use. There are even extendable carabiners that allow you to increase your range of motion by about five feet or so. Even if you have a standalone headset, it's great for headphones and charging cables.

This is obviously a no-brainer for those with wired headsets, as nothing ruins a gaming session like tripping over a cable and falling flat on your face. It's also a pretty good way to clear your virtual space of clutter.
