Ready to explore new worlds? The Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone VR headset that gets you into the virtual reality games right away, and for Black Friday you can get a $50 gift card with the purchase of any Oculus Quest 2. If you buy the headset through the Oculus website you’ll get a $50 game credit that you can use in the Oculus store to buy some new virtual experiences. If you buy it from a retailer like Amazon or Best Buy you’ll get a $50 card or credit towards that particular store, which you can use to enhance your new VR headset or for any other shopping needs that might arise during the holiday season.
It’s also worth pointing out this seems to apply to every iteration of the Oculus Quest 2. The least expensive option is the $299 headset, but you can also double the storage and pay $399 and still get the $50 credit. You could even get the Pro Bundle for $497 that includes a carrying case and the Elite Strap for extended comfort. If you decide to get your Oculus Quest 2 at Amazon, use the code OCULUS50 during checkout for the digital credit.
in early 2022, the Oculus Quest 2’s name will be changing to Meta Quest, since it is owned by Facebook and Facebook is getting that change as well. At the same, though, one of the biggest issues most people have with the Oculus Quest 2 will be going away. You’ll no longer need a Facebook login, and all the complications that brings, to use it. That’s a nice little bonus if you’ve been eyeing this VR headset for a while.
Once you get your new VR headset you can just jump into the action, and with your $50 credit you can load up on some great games. However, you can do a lot more with it, too. For example with the Oculus Link cable you can hook up your Quest 2 to your PC. This lets you use your PC’s power to upgrade the visuals and play even more games. It also makes your VR headset compatible with games from the SteamVR library so your selection grows even more. You will need a beefy computer to work with VR, so check out some of the best PCs for the Oculus Quest 2.
What you get with the Oculus Quest 2 is a super fast processor and a high-resolution display that improves on the previous generation by 50%. Speaking of said previous gen, the Quest 2 is also backwards compatible so you can play the entire content library, even older games. You can also view other forms of entertaainment like live concerts, exclusive events, and more. It also has 3D positional audio and the ability to cast the headset view to your TV or your Oculus app.
