Oculus Quest 2 is the easiest (and arguably the best) way to explore the world of VR and at some point the Metaverse. Meta is building the Oculus eco-system into an interconnected world built for work or play, but you can access amazing VR rhythm games such as Beatsaber, or go to a galaxy far far away with the Vader Immortal series. Seriously, you can fight Darth Vader with this thing!
Although it doesn’t take much arm twisting to buy a portable VR headset that’s fully supported with decent clarity, Amazon is giving customers a £50 Amazon voucher when they buy the Oculus Quest 2 as part of their Black Friday deals. If you want to try out Oculus Rift titles on the Quest, simply plug into a compatible PC and have fun.
The secret to Oculus Quest 2s success above the competition is its power in relation to its pricing. You won’t find a more capable headset that has such a large library at this price point. Thanks to its system on a chip design, users can enjoy a decent battery life without sacrificing performance.
