Amazon Black Friday deals are heating up and the retailer just announced a can't-miss deal for anyone on the hunt for the Oculus Quest 2.
For a limited time, Amazon is offering a free $50 Amazon gift card with the purchase of any Oculus Quest 2. That's one of the best Black Friday deals we've seen this year. (Best Buy offers the same deal).
In our Oculus Quest 2 review, we were full of praise for its lightweight design and build, which is comfortable enough for extended wear. Version two of the Oculus Quest got upgraded controllers, and we found them to be supremely comfortable and intuitive to use. There's a solid haptic engine in there, which adds enormously to the immersion. In one game we played, it felt as if we were truly yielding a lightsaber.
The Oculus Quest 2 is an all-in-one VR system, which means you don't need to set up any external sensors or cameras. Just charge it up, pop it on your head and you'll be exploring virtual worlds in minutes.
But if you want even more in-depth experiences, you can buy the Oculus Link cable and hook it up to your gaming PC. That way, previously PC-only experiences like Half-Life Alyx become available, too, assuming you've got the graphical grunt to run it.
Bottom line: Oculus Quest 2 makes for an immersive virtual reality adventure and is one of the best VR headsets available today. Make sure to follow our where to buy Oculus Quest 2 coverage for updates on the headset's inventory. And be sure to check out our best VR games list, which include titles like Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR. Actually, the latter game will get an update in 2022, adding The Mercenaries mode back in.
