Key Points

VR stocks, like Meta and Sony, show strong growth, leveraging VR for diverse applications across industries.
Companies like Nvidia and Qualcomm provide critical VR tech components, underpinning industry hardware.
Investors can consider multidimensional VR stocks, applying to both consumer and professional markets.

Virtual reality (VR) stocks are equity stakes in businesses that could make substantial contributions to the VR space in the coming years. The concept of VR began decades ago. But real-world adoption picked up steam in recent years.

And while VR is primarily used for gaming and entertainment right now, there's great potential for the technology in several industries and professions, including engineering and design, healthcare, defense, and education.

In early 2025, Sony launched XYN. This business segment has both software and hardware solutions related to VR. However, these VR products have more of an enterprise focus. Sony provides software for capturing objects in 3D, VR headsets that can run computer-aided design (CAD) software, and even screens that display objects in 3D without the need for special 3D glasses.

With envelope-pushing products for both consumers and professionals, Sony will likely remain a top VR stock for a long time.

For example, Axon's VR training uses the HTC Vive Focus 3 headset, which is powered by a Snapdragon XR2 from Qualcomm. Meta Platforms also uses Snapdragon products to power both the Meta Quest 3 and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

Qualcomm isn't necessarily a household name because its products aren't usually consumer-facing. But pop the hood on some of the most popular VR hardware devices on the market, and one will often find something from Qualcomm, which enables it to make this list of top VR stocks.

Roblox is clearly becoming a go-to VR platform. In the first half of 2025, the platform exceeded 100 million daily active users for the first time. And these users are now engaged on the platform for around 90 billion hours annually and counting. Fewer than 20% of users are based in the U.S. and Canada, showing the platform's global reach.

To reiterate, Roblox isn't merely for playing games -- events such as concerts have also taken place on the platform. As VR hardware devices improve in the coming years, experiences on Roblox may increase, positioning the business for a long-term VR tailwind.
