During the pandemic I would hang out on calls with a few buddies that got the Q2 or had the Q1. We played some games, but by far my favourite was a cheap Google Streetview browser app called "Wander". We would get on a call (the audio was crystal clear on the Q2s, but not on the Q1s) and go as a group in the app. We would "walk" around different places and talk about a mix of the place and general chit chat. Sometimes a person would show others where they grew up, or spent some time living, share interesting tidbits about that places. Other times, we'd play a game where one person would select a place on the map and the others would try to guess where in the world they were.
Anyway, I didn't care much for VR games and I wouldn't be surprised if mainstream use of VR is not games. Meetings are way better than Zoom/Meet whatever, watching movies on planes and such is way better than on a phone or tablet, with better resolution working would be viable and passthrough would enable things like redesigning your home in a way that's simply not possible with any other screen. There's tons of great non-gaming use cases for VR that's significantly better than any other platform.
