How to Play WebXR Games on Quest, PC, and Mobile

WebXR games run directly in your web browser, which means getting started is remarkably simple regardless of which device you're using. This guide walks you through playing WebXR games on every major platform.

Playing on Meta Quest (VR)

The Meta Quest lineup, including Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro, offers the best WebXR gaming experience. The Meta Quest Browser has full support for the WebXR Device API, including controller tracking, hand tracking, passthrough AR, and spatial features.

Setup

• Put on your Quest headset and navigate to the home environment
• Open the Meta Quest Browser since it's pre-installed on every Quest device. You'll find it in your app library
• Type the URL in the address bar: dmnshd.gg
• Browse and select a game from the library
• Click "Play" and the game will load directly in the browser

Tips for Quest

• Use the Quest Browser's "Enter VR" button. When a game supports immersive mode, you'll see a "Enter VR" prompt. Click it to switch from a flat browser window to fully immersive VR
• Try hand tracking. Many games on dmnshd.gg support hand tracking. Set down your controllers and use natural hand gestures to interact
• Bookmark the site. Add dmnshd.gg to your Quest Browser bookmarks for quick access
• AR Passthrough. Some games support AR mode. When prompted, allow camera access to blend the game with your real environment
• Clear browser cache if a game doesn't load properly. This resolves most WebXR loading issues on Quest

Playing on Desktop (PC / Mac / Linux)

WebXR games work great on desktop browsers even without a VR headset. You'll see the game in standard 3D on your monitor with keyboard and mouse controls.

Setup

• Open a modern browser like Chrome, Opera or Edge all support WebXR
• Navigate to dmnshd.gg
• Choose a game and click to play
• Controls: Use WASD or arrow keys for movement, mouse for camera, and check each game's control guide for specific bindings

Desktop with a VR Headset

If you have a PC VR headset (Valve Index, HTC Vive, etc.):

• Make sure your VR runtime is running (SteamVR, Oculus Link, etc.)
• Open Chrome and navigate to the game
• Click the "Enter VR" button that appears in the game
• Your headset will activate and display the game in immersive VR

Tips for Desktop

• Gamepad support. Connect an Xbox controller or similar gamepad for a better experience in racing and action games (not supported by all games)
• Fullscreen mode. Press F or the fullscreen button for a more immersive experience on your monitor
• Performance. Close other browser tabs to free up GPU resources for smoother 3D rendering

Playing on Mobile (iOS / Android)

Most WebXR games on dmnshd.gg also work on mobile browsers with touch controls, and some support mobile AR through your phone's camera.

Setup

• Open your mobile browser like Chrome on Android or Safari on iOS
• Navigate to dmnshd.gg
• Select a game from the library
• Touch controls will activate automatically. Typically you tap and drag to steer, with on-screen buttons for actions
• Rotate to landscape for the best experience. Many games will prompt you to switch to fullscreen landscape mode

Mobile AR

For games that support AR mode (like geobeat and Spray Space):

• Open the game on your phone
• Look for an "Enter AR" button
• Grant camera permission when prompted
• Point your phone at a flat surface and the game will overlay 3D content onto your real-world view

Tips for Mobile

• Use fullscreen mode: Tap the fullscreen button when prompted for the best experience
• Wi-Fi recommended: Games load faster and perform better on a stable Wi-Fi connection
• Close other apps: Free up memory for smoother 3D performance
• Latest browser version: Keep your browser updated for the best WebXR compatibility

Troubleshooting

If a WebXR game isn't loading or running smoothly, try these common fixes:

• Refresh the page: This resolves most temporary loading issues
• Clear browser cache: Go to browser settings and clear cached data for dmnshd.gg
• Check browser version: Make sure you're running the latest version of your browser
• Disable browser extensions: Ad blockers or privacy extensions can sometimes interfere with WebXR
• On Quest: restart the headset if the browser becomes unresponsive
• Check platform support: Make sure the game supports your device (VR, PC, or Mobile)

WebXR gaming is designed to be friction-free. If you can open a web browser, you can play.
