The Oculus Store is a digital distribution platform operated by Oculus, a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. The Oculus Store is specifically designed for virtual reality games and apps that are compatible with Oculus VR devices such as the Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, and others.

The Oculus Store serves as a marketplace where users can browse, purchase, and download a wide range of VR experiences, including games, apps, 360-degree videos, educational content, and more. It offers both free and paid content, allowing developers to monetize their VR apps and users to discover and enjoy immersive experiences.

The store is integrated with the device's user interface, so users can access the Oculus Store directly from their Oculus VR devices to browse and install apps. Users can also create wishlists for future purchases, receive personalized recommendations, and provide reviews for the apps they’ve tried, helping others decide which apps and games are worth their time and money.
