The truth is that not all VR porn applications are created equal. With so many different options available, it can be difficult to know which video player app is best suited to your VR porn needs. The top choice depends on a couple of key factors.
Streaming Vs Downloading
The first question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to stream your VR porn or download it for local playback.
The VRPorn Web App
If you prefer the streaming method, your best bet is to go with the vrporn.com web app. VRPorn.com is set up so that you don’t need any external video player at all. Instead, just navigate to the video you want to play and click the “VR Mode” icon in the lower right-hand corner of the frame. Once the scene starts, just put on your headset and you’re good to go.
If you prefer to download VR porn instead of stream it, the choice gets a little more complicated. Almost every VR device is compatible with multiple video player apps, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Here we’ll focus on the best VR apps for each device.
For those wanting to get started quickly, check out the how-to guides for streaming and downloading VR porn content. They’re updated regularly to keep users up to speed with the rapidly changing VR environment.
Oculus TV (for Quest 2)
Oculus Quest 2 users don’t need to look very far to get VR videos playing on their device as Quest 2 comes with the best video app conveniently pre-installed. Oculus TV, the default VR video player for Quest users helps make using the company’s flagship device as frictionless as possible. Being Oculus’s default VR media player also comes with the added benefit of solid support, regular updates and improvements. Oculus TV simply works, and it works well.
If you need an alternative to Oculus TV, Pigasus VR Media Player and SkyBox VR Video Player are your most viable choices. Both are quality apps with different pros and cons, though neither are free.
Play’a VR Video Player (for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR, WMR)
Play’a VR is a free, stable, and strongly supported app available for almost all major headsets. If you have the hardware, Play’a supports up to 8K video playback while also providing helpful customization features. Picture settings such as brightness, contrast, and saturation, as well as other adjustments like tilt, height, and zoom are all packed into a wonderfully intuitive user interface. For Oculus devices, you can get Play’a VR from the Oculus Store, and for everything else, it is available on Steam with the help of SteamVR.
As PC VR and other older headsets start taking a backseat to the Quest 2’s ever-growing market dominance, the options available to these older devices are slowly dwindling. If you find Play’a VR doesn’t suit your needs, both Gizmo VR and Skybox VR are available on Steam and the Oculus Store.
Skybox VR Video Player (for Oculus Go)
Skybox VR Video Player recently became a paid app, but luckily it is still free for anyone with an Oculus Go. An optimized player that offers all the usual luxury settings (height, tilt, zoom), Skybox VR is also arguably the best-looking and most comfortable video app to hang out in. The crisp user interface, comfy VR environment, and intuitive file management make Skybox VR a crowd favorite. Skybox VR is limited to 4K playback, but Oculus Go’s hardware makes playing videos above 4K problematic regardless. Skybox’s limitation becomes a non-factor when choosing the app for Go.
As a general rule for any VR Device, Skybox is one of the few apps that recognizes obscure older video codecs. If you’re having trouble running a video on another app, give SkyBox a shot before throwing in the towel.
If Skybox VR isn’t your thing, there are still other Go-compatible apps to choose from on the Oculus Store. Some recommended alternatives include Play’a, Pigasus, Gizmo, and even the default player Oculus Gallery. Truly, Oculus Go users are still spoiled for choice when it comes to VR video players.
Gizmo VR Video Player (for Android-based Devices)
If you plan on viewing your virtual reality porn collection with an Android phone, the best external app to download is Gizmo VR Video Player. Another free, feature-rich player, Gizmo VR makes it convenient to troubleshoot any issue or query. The app is compatible with all Android phones and requires minimal setup.
Unfortunately, Gizmo VR is one of the few established VR Video players left on the android market. Finding other, equally-polished alternatives can prove a challenge.
Mobile VR Station App (for iPhone-based Devices)
For those looking to view their porn collection on an iPhone, Mobile VR Station is the best VR video player available. A media player designed specifically for iPhone-based headsets, Mobile VR Station features excellent head-tracking and proper side-by-side display. Setting up your iPhone for MobileVR Station is extremely easy.
Rad TV App (for PlayStation VR)
Rad TV, formerly known as LittlStar, is available on the PlayStation app store and has been expertly tailored to help you get the most out of your PS VR device. Rad TV allows you to sort and view your library of VR videos via a clean, intuitive interface and GUI that doesn’t bog you down with unnecessary controls. While it’s not perfect, the limited range of options available for PS VR users makes this video player app an easy choice.
The Perfect App
All this information might seem overwhelming, but finding the best video player to suit your VR porn needs doesn’t have to be difficult. Just by asking yourself a few basic questions about what device you’re using and how you want to watch your videos, you can easily narrow down the perfect app for you and be on your way discovering all the wonders of VR porn.

Why bother with an app? Do you need an app to watch porn or do you just go to a website? Seriously, just go to vrporn.com with your vr headset and press play and you have easy streaming vr porn. It just works! WebVR rocks!
