About this deal

Using the headset’s external cameras, you’ll be shown a grayscale view of your surrounding environment on screen, in real-time. You’ll then use the controllers like a spray paint can, painting around the edges of your room to show the headset the safe play space you can freely walk about in without bumping into, say, your TV or sofa. We tended to oscillate between the two ends of the spectrum; at times the light seeping through was distracting, and at others we were so caught up in a game we forgot it was there. No, the new VR revolution won’t happen overnight, but Oculus Go signals that it’s coming, and fast. We have yet to find a headset that has perfected weight distribution. Of the premium headsets on the market, the HTC Vive has done the best job, so far, in minimizing it. What's more, getting a good, tight fit to ensure the screen appears as clear as possible can be claustrophobic and a little uncomfortable. These base-level issues remain unsolved; for a new generation of hardware, we’d have liked to have seen a wider array of brand-new software to go with it, too.

Regardless, the Quest 2 is as comfortable as a VR headset can feasibly be and I found that keeping it in a comfortable position was a simpler task – the reduced weight certainly helps here. The face foam is a little softer, and a little deeper too, although it will still imprint on your face over time.Then, of course, there’s the small fact that the Quest 2 supports Oculus Link, meaning you can plug it into your gaming PC via a single cable and play games from your Steam library. It’s no surprise that Oculus is retiring the Rift S: the Quest is an excellent PC VR headset in its own right. The most obvious question when comparing the Oculus Quest models is how big are the games. We’ll focus on the official Oculus store titles, which are generally a higher file size than anything found on SideQuest. The next time you launch the game, you will be able to launch your save game again! How to Uninstall Games on the Oculus Quest The first Oculus Quest made use of dual 1440 x 1600 resolution OLED displays (one for each eye), but the Quest 2 opts for a single LCD panel, split so as to display an 1832 x 1920 pixel resolution per eye. That’s about 50 percent sharper than the original, and while we’d usually prefer the richness of an OLED display, we hardly missed it here. LCD also opens up an improved refresh rate of 90Hz to developers, compared to the original Quest’s 72Hz - with an experimental feature bumping it up to 120Hz. Where supported, it will be a notably smoother experience.

Oculus Quest 2 review: The only VR headset you need | Expert

Meta Quest: *Parents:* Important guidance and safety warnings for children's use here. Meta accounts for ages 10+ on Meta Quest 2 and 3; all other Meta Quest headsets for ages 13+. Certain apps, games and experiences may be suitable for a more mature audience. Meta quest features, functionality and content notice: Features, functionality and content are subject to change or withdrawal at any time, may not be available in all areas or languages or may be restricted; may require enabled software or service activation, and additional terms, conditions and/or charges may apply. The third common type of content you can load on to your headset is video and picture media files. These could be home videos, movies, or TV shows that you want to watch in VR using a media player app.As for wearing the device, it’s important to point out two things. One is that a fair amount of light seeps through the bridge of the nose. The table has been updated to include new games Myst, Population ONE, Warhammer 40,000 and more. Game If you plan on loading media files such as movies, music, or phones on to the headset, then give the 256 GB some series consideration. Movie files in particular can be between 2-10 GB per file, which will use up your space in a hurry. This is the number one reason we would recommend the Quest 2 with more space.

Meta Quest 2: Our Most Advanced New All-in-One VR Headset

Does this mean people will suddenly start buying Oculus Go in droves, frenzied because they can finally buy a headset anyone can use? No, not by a long shot. Other than hard drive storage size, there is no difference between these three versions of the Quest 2. All other features are the exact same. Can you upgrade the Quest 2 storage later? But, the potential is there for word of mouth to spread, for individuals to try a Go on in a store (Best Buy in the US is setting up in-store Oculus Go demo stations) and think, ‘Yes, this is something I can get into’, for parents and peers to buy one as a gift for birthdays or Christmas for less than the price of other headsets. If you plan on playing strictly games on your headset, the 128 GB version is probably fine for you. Most games are under 3 GB per game so far. Even if you have the biggest known game, The Walking Dead, you can still load about 15 other titles without worry. This is more than most people will actively play at one time. We can expect that game sizes will increase in the future as developers take advantage of the extra power in the Quest 2 headset. Even so, we think that 128 GB is enough space for most.

The headset that will take VR mainstream

Note though that there's a change to the Interpupillary distance (IPD, the gap between your pupils) slider on the Quest 2. Previously, you could make fine adjustments with a slider on the underside of the original Quest. Now you have to physically shift the goggles themselves over three pre-set distances, 58mm, 63mm, and 68mm. While most won't notice any difference (the three settings cover the most common IPD ranges), it's a shame that more delicate control has been lost.
