Only one paid game is in the top five of Meta's Quest chart, and it is Beat Saber
Read at 23:39 UTC on September 30, Meta's own "Top-selling this week" chart for Quest games had exactly one paid game in its top five, and it was Beat Saber, third at $19.99 with a "Top seller" badge. The other four rows carried no price at all: HERO x HERO, UG, VRChat and Scary Baboon each show a plain "Get" button, and three of the four are also marked Early Access.
The Quest store's wishlist page floating in a headset home space under an aurora, with paid VR games priced in euros on a German-language interface.
Across the whole chart the split is much the same. Of the 24 games listed, 14 have no price on them. That is a snapshot, not a trend. Meta does not date this chart, does not publish how it is calculated, and the ordering can change between one visit and the next, so what follows is what the page showed at that moment and nothing more.
The free rows are mostly early access
The top of the chart belongs to free multiplayer games, most of them still in early access. HERO x HERO leads it with a 4.7 rating from 53,000 ratings, UG sits second on 4.9 from 398,000, and Scary Baboon is fifth on 4.7 from 79,000. Animal Company is sixth on 4.8 from 218,000 ratings, and its Factory update landed on September 23. VRChat, free but not in early access, holds fourth on 3.6 from 37,000 ratings, and Gorilla Tag is seventh on 4.4 from 173,000.
Those figures are rating counts, which are not downloads and not players. They say how many people left a score, and nothing about how many installed the game or still play it.
The priced games restart at eighth
Below Beat Saber, the next paid entries are BONELAB at $39.99 in eighth and Blade & Sorcery: Nomad at $29.99 in ninth. GOLF+ is thirteenth at $29.99, Beyond Sandbox fourteenth at $19.99, Forefront fifteenth at $27.99, NFL PRO ERA nineteenth at $19.99, Ghosts of Tabor twenty-second at $24.99, Haymaker twenty-third at $14.99 and I Am Cat twenty-fourth at $19.99. Nine of those 10 carry Meta's "Top seller" badge and GOLF+ carries "Top-rated" instead, so every priced row has a badge and no free row has one. None of the 24 showed a struck-through price.
The Beat Saber price matches Meta's own writing elsewhere. A Meta blog post dated September 30 says the game is "on the Meta Horizon Store for $19.99 USD", alongside a new APT. track by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars at $1.99. The same post calls the rhythm game's "biggest update ever" a spring 2027 arrival, which is the Flux update, with 35 songs and controller-free play.
What the chart does not say
Meta's whole explanation of the chart is one line, "Browse this week's best-selling games.", with no methodology. There is no statement of whether the order comes from units, revenue or something else, no figures behind any row, and no week-on-week position to compare against, because the page shows only the current state.
So the useful reading is narrow. Late on one evening at the end of September, more than half of Meta's own best-selling Quest games were free to install, and the only game in the top five that asked for money was Beat Saber, at $19.99. Open the page now and the order will have moved.
Three developers have since published on their own Steam pages that the Steam Autumn Sale runs from 1 October, which changes the price column on storefronts across both platforms. The ranks and prices above are the ones Meta's chart carried at the read on 30 September, and a reader checking now will see a different list.
