Virtual reality (VR) isn’t just for gaming – it’s increasingly becoming a more integral part of our physical fitness regimes. The Oculus Quest 2’s untethered and easy-to-use setup has taken VR fitness to a whole new level, allowing users to get active and energised in the comfort of their own homes. Here, we’ll explore some of the best Oculus Quest 2 fitness games available and how to take your workouts to the next level.
The ‘Holofit’ VR app for Oculus Quest 2 is perhaps one of the most innovative and comprehensive fitness games currently available. Unlike other VR sports apps, Holofit offers a variety of workouts for all levels, including easy-to-follow dumbbell exercises, armchair aerobics and even running, cycling or swimming. The app also feature a range of new content every day, including step-by-step routine and tips from instructors, in order to make your workout even more enjoyable.
Pistol Whip has been described as an ‘intense multi-directional dodge-em-up shooter’ and, it turns out, an incredibly effective fitness game. Developed by Cloudhead Games, Pistol Whip basically allows players to ‘dance their way through action scenes’, providing users with an intense workout for both the arms and lower body. When playing, users need to dodge, duck, dip and weave all while shooting their way to the end, creating a high energy workout that really gets you going.
Those looking for something akin to traditional sports, Racket: Nx might just be the perfect game. This fast-paced game allows players to take part in an array of sports, all in the comfort of their own homes. Options include squash and badminton, all of which can be experienced in a fully immersive 3D environment. What’s more, Racket: Nx provides real-time feedback on player performance and calorie burn, in order to ensure players are always in the know and motivated to stay active.
Audioshield isn’t just one of the most satisfying fitness games currently available on the Oculus Quest 2, it’s also one of the most intense. Players are challenged with deflecting beats from incoming balls with their shield, using their own body movements to do so. As beats become more intense, with more objects appearing on screen for players to deflect, the more intense the workout becomes, with players able to customize the game’s settings to make exertion levels even higher if desired.
These are just some of the best Oculus Quest 2 fitness games currently available. From Holofit’s range of full-body workouts to the intense action of Audioshield, Quest 2 owners can benefit from a whole host of fun and engaging fitness experiences right in the comfort of their own homes. So, if you’re looking to get fit and energised this week, why not give one of these great games a try?
