While it may take some time for the metaverse to properly take shape, the company has come up with some new VR games at its annual Meta Quest Gaming Showcase. These games are mostly the VR versions of popular titles like Among Us, Ghostbusters, and more. Here’s a look at them.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution
