Any idea what kind of games you'll want to play by then?

I suspect it won't be hair-trigger combat games in dark dungeons where every strike results in a blizzard of gems and stars flying around the screen while teenagers scream into the mic.

But if you like Sudoku and crosswords you'll probably be good. That's my jam anyway.

I've been playing Factorio and the base game is 100 hours easily, there are mods that ratchet it up to 500+. It's great brain exercise too, constantly refactoring, solving for bottlenecks, etc.
I would love to be that mentally spry in my old age. I'm not convinced I will be though.
Witcher, all of them Baldurs gate 3 Mass effect Assassins creed

Probably gta 6, if it’s out by then

Hopefully by then VR versions of The Longest Journey or sanctioned or unsanctioned AI generated/slop adaptations of trek/wars/who etc.
