What makes the Oculus Quest 2 so good?
Check out our Oculus Quest 2 review and you'll see why it's so important to find the best Oculus Quest 2 deals. It's arguably done more than any other device to push virtual reality towards the mainstream, and a big part of that is to do with its affordable starting price.
The headset isn't exactly cheap, but it is in relation to other VR headsets on the market. At the same time, it's also well built – it feels like a quality bit of kit when you put it on, and you'll find you can get through several hours of VR gaming without any real discomfort.
It's also easy to set up, without any need for a PC or external trackers, and that's before we get to the selection of games and apps: there's now more than enough content on the Oculus platform to justify the cost of the headset against many hours of enjoyment.
Do you need a PC for Oculus Quest 2?
Part of the appeal of the Oculus Quest 2 is that you don't need anything else to run it besides what you get in the box. Once the headset has been charged up, with the smartphone app and a Wi-Fi connection you can be exploring VR in just a few minutes.
However, you can connect your Oculus Quest 2 to a Windows computer if you want to – using the Oculus Link Cable or another high-quality USB-C cable. This enables you to play higher-end titles originally developed for the more powerful Oculus Rift and Rift S.
Thanks to the sensors and trackers built into the Oculus Quest 2, you don't need to set up any external trackers around your room, and you get the controllers included too. These controllers are essential when it comes to marking out a space for using your headset.
A playing space of around two square metres is recommended, though you can play certain games standing still or even sitting down (this will be explained on each game listing). Generally speaking, the more space you've got to play around with, the better.
