A 2025 systematic review found that VR exergames may support multiple dimensions of healthy aging, including physical activity, cognitive function, motivation and social well-being. Across the reviewed literature, immersive experiences and real-time feedback were associated with cognitive and physical engagement, while socially interactive VR experiences showed potential to reduce loneliness and support emotional well-being among older adults.
