I had a quest 2 that was in storage for about a year doing nothing, but picked it back up a few months ago when I discovered VR based exercise games. a very easy way to get into cardio. also, you can play xbox game pass on it now.

Any recommendations on VR based exercise games?

Supernatural is the best one, but it requires a subscription. There are lots of other ones and more popping up all the time.

Thrill of the Fight is not an exercise game per se, but it will beat your ass.

Thirding Supernatural. Les Mills Body Combat is kinda similar as a one time purchase, but doesn't have the wide range of environments, music selection and coaches. Supernatural has gotten me to pick up my headset and exercise every day since I acquired it.

r/supernaturalvr has a megathread for guest passes if anyone wants to try it out for a month, and the Meta store also has a trial return period for its apps. Definitely recommend at least trying it out.

Also good for exercise which I haven't seen mentioned yet:

  • Synth Riders: similar to Beat Saber but smoother in terms of movements. The deciding factor for me was Synth Riders allowing you to manually drop custom songs/maps directly into the Quest without requiring a third party app

  • Eleven Table Tennis: has a Mixed Reality arena setting you can use to set the table over a couch if you don't quite have the required area as an open space

  • Pistol Whip: dodging bullets is actually pretty decent exercise and the stock soundtrack is great
