Meta Quest 2 - Advanced All-In-One VR Headset - 256 GB

Product Information

A built-in battery lets you explore further for longer as you discover a growing library of over 350 titles across gaming, social/multiplayer, fitness and entertainment. Incredible social spaces and multiplayer arenas let you meet, play and build communities with people from all over the world. The previous Quest segued into a great little game which demo’ed the systems capabilities after the setup. It’s a shame that the Quest 2 didn’t do similar, though they may do that in the future.

As an amazing headset as it is, it is still cheap in comparison to the rest, and this should be noted. Come together in incredible social spaces and multiplayer arenas as you take in live events with friends and family, find your new workout crew or join quests with fellow adventurersThis is just for link, with air link you may have a better experience using a RTX card as they have better encoders than my 1080ti however, I’ve found I can hardly run 72fps on virtual desktop half the time, I use a 5ghz 1gbps router that is almost always unclogged, granted I’m over wifi and not using ethernet, your experience may be better than mine. Be truly free to roam in VR with a wireless headset, intuitive controls, a built-in battery, easy setup and no PC or console needed For boneworks and such there is no issue, adaptive resolution can help there but, for games like vrchat it struggles heavily on maximum resolution.

One prominent feature of the Quest 2 is its ability to be hooked to a PC. My only intention is to play independently though I would have tested for the sake of my review, though I’m strictly a Mac user at present due to work.

The minimum spec I found to run these games smoothly at 72/80fps was a 1660 and 12GB of DDR4 2400/2666 ram on a recent 4 core cpu (I5 8th/9th Gen or a Ryzen 5)

There are going to be two distinct people with regards to how image will be judged. First there are those who will compare against the Quest and those who will just be amazed as a first time VR user.At this point, I feel it was at least half of the ‘moment of truth’. Immediately I was judging the graphics at this point (explained below), but wasn’t overly impressed. If you’re curious of the video I’m talking about, you can find it on YouTube: “Thrillseeker quest 2 extreme torture test” My Oculus Quest 2 256gb arrived a few hours ago. I swore to myself I do my work, though I found myself opening it within half an hour or so and there I was again experiencing the virtual world ironically within a world which is currently in chaos.

Take VR anywhere - With no additional equipment needed, you can take your lightweight and portable Quest 2 wherever you go in the real world You can alternatively up the refresh rate to 120hz and make use of the 60fps space warp but in my experience it does not warp correctly, as 60fps is perceived as relatively smooth by the eye anyway the space warp creates issues. If you bought the 64GB Oculus Quest 2 that launched in 2020 and want to trade it in for a model with more storage, we’d recommend going with the 256GB version. You’ll be getting four times the free space rather than just double the storage, and will enjoy all of the future-proofed benefits outlined above. The controllers thankfully still take an AA battery in each one and they come installed with one. Simply slide out the plastic tabs and the batteries make their connection and the controllers are ready to use. Apparently greater attention was given to ensure that the battery compartment slider doesn’t slide off during frantic gameplay as it supposedly did with the Quest, though this never did happen to me. An amazing VR headset capable of running VR games standalone using it’s modded Snapdragon 865/Qualcomm XR2 chip or playing them linked to a computer, wirelessly and with a wire.

The colour of the headset (and controllers) isn’t white as I initially assumed - rather a very light grey. The surround looks white when remove from the box, but this is in fact a paper covering which is removed. Come together, wherever you are - Enter incredible social spaces and multiplayer arenas to take in live events with friends and family, find your new workout crew or join quests with fellow adventurers
