About SideQuest

SideQuest is the largest virtual reality (VR) content platform, tailored for standalone VR headsets like the Oculus Quest series.

It serves as a hub for VR game discovery, community engagement, and developer promotion. Co-founded in May 2019, SideQuest quickly grew to 1 million monthly active users by Christmas 2020 and now hosts over 2,000 apps. The platform offers a vast library of exclusive VR titles, demos, and indie games not available on the official Oculus/Meta Store. Developers can publish early access content, validate their work, and build communities. SideQuest features tools for easy app installation and community spaces for users to connect around specific interests. It also provides marketing support for developers through promotions and campaigns. Completely free for users and developers, SideQuest aims to be the main hub for the broader XR ecosystem, supporting various mixed reality devices.

Investors who name them

Each firm lists SideQuest on its own website. That is the firm's claim, a weaker thing than a round we watched, but a named source.
