That’s a $100 (33%) discount over what you’d normally pay ($50 off the headset and $50 worth of games).

If you’d rather get that $50 of store credit elsewhere, you can find the same deal with a $50 gift card to the respective retailer at Target and Newegg.

If you plug the headset into a computer, you’ll have access to everything in the Oculus PC and SteamVR libraries as well. That means that Quest 2 is compatible with the vast majority of top VR content out there, as long as you’ve got a powerful gaming PC to plug the headset into.

    Great price for those who just want to experience its firsthand, but dont want to splash cash.

  • Jonathan Winters III

    “Isn’t worth full price” lol. It’s a fantastic headset, and well worth the price – it’s even subsidized by Meta ffs. What an entitled headline!!!

    • Rabid67

      Could be because the 3 is out now which is supposed to be better
      So why would you want to pay the full price for 2

    • It’s because Quest 2 is quite aged hardware at this point (2020, three years ago) with essentially a hardware refresh reportedly coming early next year with likely similar specs but with the XR2 Gen 2, giving this reported “Quest 3 Lite” similar longevity as a standalone device to Quest 3 (in VR performance). So most people shouldn’t buy Quest 2 at its regular $299 price.

        ever heard of switch?

        consoles go on for a long while, especially successful ones – I have a feeling Q2 will still be on shelves after Q4 succeeds underperforming Q3…

  • eadVrim

    We are in 2024, We need new optimized games for the Quest 3.

    • namekuseijin

      why? one of the biggest VR games ever was just released, with graphics previously impossible in mobile VR and crazy resolution higher than Q3 display and already whiners are complaining of minor stutter… better go back to Superhot graphics and minigaming…

      • eadVrim

        AC is developed for the Q2, and there isn’t much difference compared to Q3 version. It’s a great game for the Q2, but it doesn’t fully exploit the potential of the Q3. I believe they should stop selling the old Q2 to allow developers to concentrate on creating native games for the newly released Q3.

        • ViRGiN

          I think Valve should buy all the Quest 2, put Linux on it, install displayport and sell it as high end steam deckard

        • namekuseijin

          sit tight and wait 2-3 years. But you’ll probably play better on Q4 anyway

          • eadVrim

            Whatever
