I'm excited to have this but would love some pointers about what I might enjoy and how to use it. The only game I've heard of is gorilla tag and don't think that's for me...

Current hobbies are language learning, Pilates, cinema, travel, books. I also like casual games on my iPad and just started Zelda on switch lite.

Definitely exercise! My favourites are tennis and also Fit XR. I’ve actually got the beginnings of biceps as a result.

Oooh I'd love to use it for fitness and learning. National Geographic sounds interesting too. And job simulator sounds my kind of thing too! Thank you!

I thought about looking up top games but just didn't think they would be relevant to me - thought meta quest users are mainly teenagers. Perhaps wrongly.

There is a game called ‘ job simulator’ it’s great, you work in a shop serving people or in a cafe cooking up their orders or you can try your hand a being a car mechanic.

Lucky you! I got my 3s for my 62nd birthday in August and am now a Fit XR addict (and a lot fitter for it!) – boxing is my favourite. I tried it for piano lessons but not as successful.

There is SO much you can do on it!

Lots of exercise programs, a really good national geographic thing that I forget the name of, and of course the games.

Have a Google, maybe search up top 50 games?
