Oculus Quest 2

Announcing a required Facebook account for their upcoming Oculus Quest 2 got Facebook quite a bit of backlash. Now, the Quest 2 has officially been announced and this next generation of PC-free VR gaming seems very hard to pass up on, even when you don’t want to have a Facebook account. The Quest 2 is an affordable and well-timed escape to Virtual Reality.

Features

The Oculus Quest 2 looks much more family friendly than the original

The Oculus Quest 2 improves upon the original Quest with better performance and higher resolution screens (1832 x 1920) that cover your eyes. The unit now has an all-white aesthetic which makes it much more friendly on the eyes. The controllers got a redesign and a 3D integrated audio system makes everything seem even more life-like. The unit feels much lighter as well which is a welcome upgrade to the original.

There’s still no PC, extensive wiring or hanging up additional devices to mark the VR area in your room. You just need the glasses and two controllers, one for each hand. Just like the original Oculus Quest you can connect the Quest 2 to your gaming PC to be able to play more powerful VR games.

With all the improvements and building out the catalog of Quest games, it’s surprising to see that the price tag of the Quest 2 drops to $299, compared to its predecessor. This certainly makes VR approachable for non-VR enthusiasts. It seems Facebook is aiming for being the Nintendo Switch of VR gaming with their Quest 2
