TheMeta Quest 2has had a 120Hz refresh rate as an experimental feature for quite some time. Thisfaster refresh ratein theory means a smoother experience and less chance of motion sickness when playing VR games. In a Tweet, John Carmack, former Consulting CTO of Oculus VR revealed that the 120Hz display mode would be turned on by default:
Not all games support this mode though, which is a good thing for battery life but not so much if you’re trying to take full advantage of the Quest 2’s capabilities.

Which Quest 2 games support 120Hz?
You’ll be pleased to hear there are a number of games which support a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s up to the developers to add support for it, so more games may well appear in future too.
Still, there are some great games that already support this mode on Quest 2:
Superhot VR
Superhot VR is one of our favourite virtual reality games. A time-bending shooter that makes you feel like Neo from the Matrix as you dodge bullets and baddies on your way to victory.
Racket Fury
You wouldn’t want to lose your table tennis match because you had a low refresh rate and didn’t see the ball coming. So this is another logical fit for the 120Hz refresh rate mode.
Eleven Table Tennis
Apparently, there’s more than one table tennis game with support for a fast refresh rate on Quest 2. Eleven Table Tennis is said to be the most realistic table tennis experience that you can get on the platform though, so why not give it a go?
Echo VR is a free-to-play multiplayer game that’s set in zero gravity. One of the most popular games on Quest 2 and a brilliant, fast-paced game that’s perfect for 120Hz. Plus it’s free, so why not give it a go?
Gorn is one of the silliest and goriest fighting games we’ve played. A bonkers but fun game full of plenty of giggles and good times. Not as fast-paced as some other games, but it’s still one to benefit from the 120Hz capabilities.
Synth Riders
It might not be as popular as Beat Sabre, but Synth Riders is one of the original VR rhythm games on Quest and now it runs with a smoother frame rate thanks to 120Hz support.
Cubism seems like an odd choice for 120Hz but it works. This is a deceptively simple puzzle game with a relaxing vibe and 90 puzzles to complete.
Beat Saber
As you might expect, everyone’s favourite rhythm game does support a 120Hz refresh rate. So now you can jam out and smash those cubes while experiencing a smooth and satisfying experience.
