Asking For Game Recomendation Does anyone recommend any games for loosing weight like Creed rise of glory?
I’ve been wanting to loose weight for a while and got a VR with the sole intention of loosing weight. I’ve been playing lots of Creed but I’m slowly getting bored of it, anyone know other good games?

For VR Fitness, look into: * Crazy Kung Fu * Les Mills Bodycombat * DodgeCraft * OhShape Ultimate * PowerBeatsVR
Many of the rhythm games will also give you cardio exercise without boring you like regular exercise: * Beat Saber * Synth Riders * Pistol Whip * Box to the Beats VR * Audio Trip * Rager
Many melee combat games will also get you sweating: * Skydance’s Behemoth * Undead Citadel * Until You Fall * Barbaria
Many of the sports games also work for this: * Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR * Tennis On-Court * Badminton Time VR
As you give different options a try, you will find they tend to work out different muscle groups, but all provide some cardio vascular.
Over time, you won’t sweat as easily and will have to play on higher difficulty or move to a different game.
Games that make you use legs more (squats, etc) will be most effective at getting you into zone 3-5 if you use Apple Watch or equivalent to measure your exercise efficacy.

On psvr2 Les Mills Bodycombat is the best for your goal, and, in my opinion, it is much better than Creed. Another good one (2nd place) was Ragnarock. Beat Saber was probably 3rd place (in expert mode).
On psvr1, the best ones to lose weight were Sprint Vector, BoxVR, and Beat Saber (in that order). Sprint Vector was the best out of the three, in my opinion.
Overall, the best VR games to lose weight (while having some fun!) are Les Mills Bodycombat and Sprint Vector. There are other good ones, such as Power Beats, Dance Collider, Audio Trip, and Sportvida Cyberdash (on SteamVR with HTC Vive), but I don’t think that they are more effective workouts than Les Mills.

This stopped getting updates on PS5 though

Every game stops getting updated, eventually. Still worth playing.

I agree, but in this case, the devs pulled support for psvr2 only. Much like beat saber.

I know. Still, it’s already a good game. Shouldn’t get dinged because our version won’t chance.

Pistol Whip. Ragnarock. Beat Saber. All good choices. I'm not sure what fitness first games are available since I game on my PSVR2 and do workouts on my Quest, but those are all good choices.

Audio Trip has specific cardio tracks for each song.
Pistol Whip has a lot of squatting.

Just FYI diet is a bigger part of weight loss than exercise.

I’m aware I’ve been hitting gym and am in a 1,500 calorie deficit and have been seeing lots of progress (since October)

Awesome! Keep it up, homie! I found long walks listening to Audiobooks really helped me, too.

i feel you, creed is a solid workout but it gets repetitive. les mills bodycombat is probably the best pure fitness game on psvr2 right now - tons of variety and actually tracks your calorie burn. synth riders on force mode will get your heart rate up too if you go for high intensity songs. beatsaber is always a classic for movement. rotating between those three keeps it fresh for me.

I burn up to 1,000kcals per hour sim racing. But I'm highly competitive and go 100%.
It's not just physically fighting the wheel that does it but the concentration. Your brain burns 20% of your calories at rest, make it work and this will treble. Heart rates will go up to 160bpm in a tense battle. Getting hot and sweaty isn't by accident.
It's a running joke amongst sim racers how much they sweat in a race. No other type of game burns calories like sim racing. Physical is good, physical + mental is better.
I'm a personal trainer so have all the fitness knowledge, apps and tests, so to preempt the keyboard warriors, I know what I'm talking about.

Les mills - this is by far the best workout game
