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. I am a little miffed that the controllers still use AA batteries, rather than being rechargeable via USB-C, but the batteries come pre-installed and last for ages. I’ve been playing on the Quest for countless hours so far, and the controllers are showing no signs of running out of juice. We got our hands on an early press preview of the Oculus Quest with a limited number of games. But Oculus tells us that when the VR headset officially launches, you'll have 50 apps to choose from – we'll keep you updated once we've had a hands-on with them all.

The Meta Quest 2 may not be the best VR headset in terms of specs, but it strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and performance to make it a more viable option for most people than a Vive Cosmos or PlayStation VR 2 headset. Just over 2 hours feels simultaneously a little short for serious gamers, but also impressive to say the headset is standalone. (Also, don't forget VR newbies will find more than 30 minutes to be enough in a single setting to start with.) The higher price for the Oculus Quest 2 does come with one new benefit though, you'll get a copy of one of the best Oculus Quest 2 games for free: Beat Saber. Buy a new Quest 2 before the end of 2022 and you'll be eligible to get a copy of the game at no charge. All-in-one design: The Meta Quest 2 is able to function indepedently, and so doesn’t require a separate gaming PC to function. With such a big difference in hard drive size, should you buy the bigger model? Or, should you put your extra money towards an upgraded elite strap or other Oculus Quest 2 accessories?Previous Quest owners will notice there’s no physical IPD slider. Instead, you can just pull on the eye cups to toggle between three preset positions. I personally found the default setting perfectly comfortable, but it’s still good to see Meta allowing for some customisation. Controllers There are multiple types of content and which ones you plan on using determines which Quest 2 model you should get between the 64 vs vs 128 vs 256 GB. 128 GB Version Before I continue, it’s worth talking about Facebook, Oculus’ parent company. By October 2020, new Oculus users will have to log in to their device using a Facebook account, rather than an Oculus one. Existing Oculus account holders can choose to swap to Facebook (or not) until January 2023, at which point it will happen automatically.

If you have a beefy PC set up and a decent-sized budget you could try the Valve Index. This headset's more impressive specs allow it to deliver some great VR experiences, though you will miss out on the Quest 2's exclusive library of games like Resident Evil 4 VR. Offering access to both these play scenarios through one headset line is a wise move by Facebook, reducing the amount of hardware it supports. However, as mobile VR now becomes the default for Oculus (not everyone has a gaming PC, after all), we hope that that doesn’t dull the ambitions of developers. We wouldn't want to see apps focus solely on the lower-powered mobile headset and give a cold shoulder to the more powerful made-for-PC experiences that can be achieved. Oculus Quest 2: AccessoriesThe Oculus Quest 2 rings the death knell for Oculus’s tethered, PC-only headsets, such as the Oculus Rift and Oculus Rift S. It has confirmed to TechRadar that, going forward, its headsets will offer a combination of mobile and PC tethered play, rather than being solely PC-tethered hardware. However, what helps is that the Quest comes with a long, 6 metre-long cable, presumably this is so you can keep playing when it's charging. That means it's suddenly tethered again, but at least you have the option to charge and play.
