Break a sweat with these great Oculus Quest games

Hit the dance floor

Dance Central

Staff favorite

This one is just straight-up dancing. Match your body movements with the avatars in the game. The 32-song soundtrack features some of the best smash hits and classics you’d hear in any club. Your legs aren’t tracked in the game, but that won’t stop you from throwing out a kick now and then. It’s a lot of cardio that will feel less like a VR workout and more like a night out, especially with the in-game multiplayer lounge where you can challenge friends to dance-offs.

Full on cardio

Beat Saber

If Guitar Hero were a rhythm game with a sword as the instrument, it would be Beat Saber. Slash and dodge cubes to the beat of techno music, or shell out for add-ons from more famous bands like Imagine Dragons and Timbaland.
Beginner levels are plenty of fun, but progress to Expert+ and you’ll really begin to sweat. Get your daily dose of cardio, squats, and arm workouts while going for high scores and combos.

Tai Chi meets fast paced action

SUPERHOT VR

Time moves when you do. Each level is a puzzle that requires you to move very quickly and sometimes move very slowly to defeat your foes. Some parts of the game require you to hold a pose perfectly still to figure out your next move. It’s a full-body workout that combines the action of a shooter game with Tai Chi. With plenty of replayable challenges and endless levels, you’ll never lack for bullets to dodge.

Let’s get ready to rumble

The Thrill of the Fight

This simulator introduces you to actual boxing mechanics while giving you a properly sweaty workout. Bob and weave, block blows, and throw a variety of punches across multi-round bouts. Its visuals won’t impress, but its collection of opponents with unique fighting styles will provide a proper challenge. This game is an arm, body, legs, and full-on cardio experience.

Always on the move

Space Pirate Trainer

This is a fun VR game that resembles the classic arcade game, Galaga, and will have you moving, squatting, jumping, and bending in many directions throughout the entire game. Since the enemy attacks you from above, your arms are always above your head, giving your shoulders a great workout.

A classic in VR

Fruit Ninja

Slash like crazy to gain some big points and work up an awesome sweat with Fruit Ninja. Your arms and shoulders will feel it as well as your heart. It’s a great workout. Are you ready for a post-workout cooldown? There’s a zen mode to help you with that.

Strike a pose

OhShape

Power pose your way to a healthier body. Inspired by Japanese TV show Hole in the Wall, in OhShape you must move your whole body to fit inside a series of rapidly changing holes with fast-paced music egging you on. Jump to dodge some obstacles, punch through others, and squeeze through the rest in a variety of challenging stances that strain your whole body. Despite only 21 official workouts, the level editor lets you play other people’s custom sets or create your own.

Racquetball meets Breakout

Racket NX

Imagine playing racquetball inside of a giant pinball machine and then adding the fun of the classic game, Breakout. The game starts at a slow pace, but as you progress, the ball moves faster and faster; the harder you hit the ball, the faster it’ll ricochet back your direction. The 360º arena forces you to keep spinning in search of the ball, and you’ll need both arm strength and precision to get a high score. All of the sweat-inducing intensity of playing racquetball is here.
