When I first started watching VR porn years ago, managing my downloads was a bit of a pain due to limited storage. Not to mention streaming was a drag with its excessive buffering. In most cases, sites didn’t even offer it as an option. But thanks to free apps like Deo VR, one of the best VR porn apps right now, those issues are a thing of the past!
Some apps are designed to make streaming easy, some are for managing your content more efficiently and others do both. So let’s get into the best VR porn apps for your needs.
Deo VR – The All-in-One App
We might as well start this list of the best VR porn apps right now with the one I just mentioned, Deo VR. It’s easily the most robust and easy to use. While I may have stolen how they describe themselves on their website, in this case, they are marketing themselves truthfully. Deo is truly an all-in-one solution to watching VR porn, even if that is not what it was initially designed for.
It’s compatible with every headset and the download is free. Use the app’s intuitive built-in browser to log in to your site of choice. Its library then gets displayed on a theatre-like interface that is easy to navigate and looks good.
It’s also got a ton of tools that let you customize your viewing experience. If you want to zoom in or adjust the videos’ contrast, you can. I guess that’s why they also call themselves the Swiss Army Knife of Apps. Well played, developers!
PLAY’A – The Ultimate For-Porn App
Switching gears a little, here’s an app that actually was designed for VR porn. It is called PLAY’A and you can thank the folks at VR Bangers for gifting us with this beauty. It only works on VRBangers and their two other properties, VRB Gay and VRB Trans.
Like Deo, all you need to do is enter your login details and the site’s library is immediately available for streaming. All the same features from the site are built-in, like the search engine, tags and even recommended positions for each experience.
PLAY’A is also a download manager and plays any video that has been side-loaded onto your headset, which is convenient. You can play with some advanced settings to adjust the colors or camera position. It even has a panic button, just in case you suddenly need to hide your screen from your partner!
SkyBox VR – A Free Download Manager
Depending on the type of headset you’re using, you may be limited in storage space. For example, 64GB may sound like a lot, but some VR downloads, like the ones in 8K, are huge files that can be up to 10GB in size, which would mean you could only fit roughly six videos – and that’s if your device isn’t already pre-loaded with other stuff taking up space.
That’s where SkyBox VR comes in. It works by wirelessly streaming your downloads from your PC to your headset or mobile device without sacrificing quality. It’s an easy to use app that lets you browse, watch and control your downloaded content with your headset. It supports all VR platforms like Oculus, Vive and Daydream.
The one downside is that the maximum supported resolution is 4096×4096. That doesn’t mean you can’t watch a 6K video with a resolution of 6144×3072. It just means you won’t get the full experience. But for what the app does and its ease of use, I’d say it’s a small price to pay.
Free VR Player – Smartphone Compatible
Well, there’s a straightforward brand name. Yes, this app is free and yes, it plays virtual porn videos. It is designed specifically for iOS and Android devices, meaning you’re going to use it in conjunction with a headset that is phone-powered, like the Gear VR.
It’s about as easy to use as any other app. Just download a video onto your smartphone and open the file in Free VR Player. Slide the phone into your headset and you’ll be immersed in no time. I like the intuitive and clean interface. If you have any 2D porn scenes loaded onto your phone you can watch those, too, as the app supports them.
Oculus TV – The Entertainment App
There are several ways to go about watching porn on an Oculus, including using some of the apps I’ve already discussed in this blog. But another option is Oculus TV. It’s meant more as a big-screen experience, where you immerse yourself in a virtual theatre environment to watch Netflix, Prime Video and other content from popular streaming services.
But as we’ve already learned, just because a VR app isn’t specifically designed for porn doesn’t mean you can’t use it for that. Load any video onto your headset, select Play My Media from the app and you’ll have access to your content.
The one complaint I’ve heard from users (and I’ve encountered this too) is that the app can be buggy. Nineteen out of twenty times it’ll run fine, but then that one time, it freezes and forces you to restart your headset.
Rad. – For Playstation Users
I’m ending with an app that I’m not a huge fan of and I’ll explain why shortly. The reason Rad. on this list is because, for now, it’s the only option for PSVR users to manage their downloads.
It’s easy enough to use and includes some fun features that let you watch VR videos with your friends as well as some VR channels with sports and comedy content. If you want to use it for porn, you can side-load it to your PSVR. Here’s the kicker – the ability to side-load requires you to pay a yearly subscription fee of $50.
VR Apps Are Your Virtual Friends
Aside from Rad. (with its not-so-rad price), all these apps are free and worth trying, as they go a long way in enhancing your virtual experiences and just making things simpler. Whether you want something to stream your porn scenes or you’re looking for better content management, any on my list are good options.
