Oculus 2 games

I just purchased this for my son for Christmas and I know nothing about it. I want to be able to get him games as well. What is the best option to do that? Is there a particular account that you sign up for like you do with PlayStation and put money on it or do I just get a Visa gift card?

For the account, your son will need an Oculus account that is linked to his Facebook account. I'm not sure if there's any gift card type stuff you can do, I don't think you can just load money onto it. You generally make purchases in the headset itself. You can also use the desktop app but that generally shows Rift compatible games. The Oculus account saves your CC info and you have to put in a 4 digit pin to complete a purchase every time you make one (it's kind of ideal for kids, since you can just keep control of that 4 digit pin and enter it yourself if you want to authorize a purchase).

If you have a PC that is powerful enough and a link cable or plan on going wireless with Virtual Desktop, then steam has plenty of games that are compatible. But that gets a bit more complicated in terms of which games are compatible, whether you use Link or VD, and whether your computer is strong enough.

Thanks for the info! He’s about to 19 and likes sports and fighting type games. So I may just look up some prices somewhere and get a visa gift card.

Bought my son an Oculus Quest 2 as well, showed no interest in the new gaming systems and wanted VR, which is easy enough since its cheaper (opted for 64gb since VR game's are generally less than 5 gb) and more available to buy next to the consoles.
