VR in general, there is no killer app, no thing that makes VR worth the cost. The peak of VR is probably Beat Saber. I have a quest 3 and I just use it to watch TV in bed without disturbing my wife. It’s nice having a giant video display but not useful for most people.
There are great VR games on PC. Problem is Meta flooded the market with their standalone headsets that can only play very simple small games, and shifted the perception that that’s what VR is.
The killer VR app for me is golf games. GOLF+ and Walkabout Minigolf. It’s a great way for me to keep in touch with my parents who live in a different city. It’s like a better version of a phone/video call every once in a while (and at $350 with the better headstrap, it’s not too expensive for a present)
Ironically this is where the Quest absolutely destroys the Vision Pro, which doesn’t have any VR golf (or even minigolf) games as far as I can tell.
VR headsets are basically multiplayer golf simulators to me. Which makes the Vision Pro a golf simulator that doesn’t have golf.

Simracing with VR is quite nice, tho. You’ll never get that level of immersion with screens
