How to play WebXR games on Meta Quest

WebXR games run in your headset's web browser, so there is nothing to install: a link opens the game. Here is how to start one on Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S or Pico.

Step by step

1. Open the browser. On your Quest, open the Browser app from the app library. On Pico, open its browser the same way.
2. Go to nxtwebxr.com. Type nxtwebxr.com in the address bar, or open a link someone shared with you.
3. Press Start. The catalogue opens around you in your room. Allow the immersive session when the headset asks.
4. Pull a game towards you. Browse the trailers, then grab the one you want and pull it towards you to start it.
5. Come back for the next one. When you leave a game you are back where you were, with the next one waiting.

Prefer a particular game? Every game page has its own Play button, for example Moon Rider or HoloRange.

If the VR button does nothing

• Make sure you are in the headset's own browser. A phone or computer can show the page, but only a headset can enter VR.
• Allow the permission prompt. If you said no once, reload the page and try again.
• Update the headset. WebXR improves with every browser update.
• For mixed reality games, passthrough has to be available; for hand tracking games, turn hand tracking on in the headset's settings and put the controllers down.
