Want to become a World War 2 Fighter Ace? Well now you can in Virtual Reality with this Quest 2 flying game: Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific.
In this Oculus Quest 2 Flight Simulator you are a pilot of a World War 2 era aircraft in the Pacific theater. There are a huge variety of aircraft to choose from, and a huge number of missions to fly them in.
Whether you want to have a dogfight or do a bombing run, there is a ton of variety in what you can do in the sky.
In the singleplayer campaign you get more resources by completing missions, and with those resources buy better planes and AI wingmen to back you up in later missions.
The progression is very satisfying, and meshes well with the progressively harder missions.
Dogfighting in Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific
Even if you get tired of the singleplayer experience, Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific has a multiplayer community as well.
Your AI wingmen aren’t your only available companions in the sky for this Quest 2 flying game.
The multiplayer lets you fly missions with strangers or friends online. Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific is such a fun multiplayer flying game on the Quest 2 that it has made our list of the best multiplayer VR games on the Meta Quest 2.
Quest 2 Flying Games - Ultrawings 2

Ultrawings 2 is the sequel to the previous Quest 2 game, Ultrawings, and wow has there been a huge improvement. This Quest 2 Flight Simulator has only gotten better in the sequel.
If you want a wide variety of different things to do while you’re up in the air, then none of the Oculus Quest 2 flying games in existence will give you a larger variety of things to do in your plane than Ultrawings 2.
From shooting balloons with a pistol from your cockpit to precision bombing runs to racing between the buildings of a city, there’s a lot of different things to do in Ultrawings 2.
While not as combat focused as Warplanes: Battles Over Pacific, this flying game makes up for it by giving you a ton of non combat focused things to do.
Still, if you want to attack a ship at night, then you can do that in Ultrawings 2. You can also have races or dogfights with your friends in Multiplayer. While the Multiplayer isn’t as focused and polished as Warplanes, it’s still fun in Ultrawings 2.
Out of all Oculus Quest 2 flying games none give you as wide a variety of things to do as Ultrawings 2. If you want excitement, it’s there. If you want to just ride around in the sky and look at some scenery, that’s there too.
The only downside is that Ultrawings 2 does none of these things the best, but if you want some of everything it can’t be beaten.
Quest 2 Flying Games - World Flight

On the other end of the excitement spectrum for Oculus Quest 2 Flying Games is World Flight. If you’re a huge fan of games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, and want a similar experience that can run natively on your Meta Quest 2 headset, then World Flight is exactly the flying game you are looking for.
World Flight’s emphasis isn’t on racing, or combat, or exciting and silly missions. World Flight is as true to life a flight simulator that you can get on the Quest 2. The focus in this game is on realistic controls, realistic flying, and realistic goals.
The emphasis is more on flying as you would in real life and enjoying the view as you go along.
This might not be as boring as you think, because the controls vary between different planes, and are all very hard to learn and master. Just taking off and landing are much harder than in any other Quest 2 flying game.
Since everything is running on a Quest 2 instead of a PC, the views won’t be as impressive as you might get in a PC based flight simulator. Still, the standalone nature of World Flight makes playing it easy and convenient, and the core mechanics of difficult and realistic flying are as present in this game as in any other.
So if you want a more true to life Quest 2 flying game that feels more like a flight simulator than a game, give World Flight a look. It’s the Microsoft Flight Simulator of VR flying games.
Well that’s all for this list of the Best Quest 2 Flying Games. If you want excitement or just a relaxing trip through the air, then one of these flying games is sure to scratch that itch. Enjoy!
