Hi everyone! Already have a VR headset and want an active app without a big software bill? A base-game purchase can be a good place to start. The key is finding movement you’ll enjoy within your actual store budget.
We make PowerBeatsVR, so we’ll explain what our base game includes, then suggest other workout styles to check. Keep hardware and optional extras separate from that under-$30 app budget.
Start with the base purchase
Our US Steam listing showed a $19.99 base price when checked on 14 October 2026. That includes official workouts and the generator for supported local music, without a required subscription. Optional add-ons are separate purchases.
Use the current price in your own store before deciding. Regions, promotions, bundles and platform editions can change the checkout total. A Steam purchase also assumes a compatible PCVR setup; Quest standalone and PlayStation versions are separate store purchases.
If you don’t own the hardware yet, the app is only one part of the budget. Include the headset and any required computer or console before comparing the total with another way to exercise.
Choose what you’d like to do
Use your local store prices to filter this shortlist to your budget:
| If you enjoy… | An app to investigate | Check before adding extras |
|---|---|---|
| Music-led punching, dodging and squatting | PowerBeatsVR | Base game and optional music/environment add-ons |
| Boxing against a virtual opponent | The Thrill of the Fight, original | Original game versus sequel |
| Flowing rhythm movement | Synth Riders | Included songs versus additional packs |
| Choreographed dance | Audio Trip | Current edition, price and content |
| Rhythm slicing and map practice | Beat Saber | Base tracks versus paid music packs |
If a title’s current checkout price exceeds your limit, leave it off your shortlist or wait for a suitable offer. The table compares formats; it doesn’t promise that every edition everywhere costs under $30.
Make the base game go further with your music
In PowerBeatsVR, you can begin with official workouts, then generate layouts from your own supported local audio files. You choose the difficulty and movement mix. That gives you a personal source of variety without needing a new map release for every song you enjoy.
Check the music FAQ for formats and transfer steps. Streaming-service offline downloads generally aren’t ordinary importable music files.
Leave room for the extras you actually want
Optional DLC and a required subscription are different things. A subscription-free app can still sell extra music or workouts; LES MILLS BODYCOMBAT is another example of a paid base app with optional content.
Compare what you can do in the base purchase first. If you already know you’ll want several packs, add them to your budget rather than discovering the total later.

Happy moving,
