Now’s the time to pick up an Oculus Quest 2 as Meta’s Black Friday deals have gone live and they’re the best we’ve seen for the VR headset yet.
Just as the company teased, the Oculus Quest 2 128GB model is from $50 / £50 to $349.99 / £349.99 (opens in new tab)and the 256GB version is from $70 / £70 to $429.99 / £429.99 (opens in new tab). But if that wasn’t enough, you also get two free games: Resident Evil 4 VR and Beat Saber (two of the best Oculus Quest 2 games out there).
So while the discount doesn’t quite bring the headset back to its pre-price bump (which was as low as $299/£222 prior to August 2022), the added games more than make up for it, cementing this as the best Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deal ever.

The Oculus Quest 2 is one of the best VR headsets on the market, especially if you’re on a tight budget. While it’s not as impressive as the Valve Index in terms of specs, or normally as cheap as the Pico 4, Meta’s device has more than a few advantages.
First, unlike the Index, Meta’s headset is self-contained. If you want to connect it to a PC you can, but to play a VR game you don’t have to. You don’t have to set up tedious towers in the real world either, just clear a space and do a quick sketch once you put the headset on so it knows where it’s safe and you’re good to go.
Secondly, while the Pico 4 is normally slightly cheaper at £379 (it’s only available in the UK) and comes with slightly better specs, the software is definitely inferior at the moment. Overall, the Pico OS doesn’t feel as refined as the Meta’s hardware runs on, and the games on the Pico 4 aren’t as good as those on the Quest platform. Not only does it lack great titles like Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR, but the Pico 4 version of games like After the Fall and Walkabout Mini Golf lacks content available on the rival hardware.
That said, if you’re in the UK you might still want to take a look at Pico’s Black Friday 2022 deal as you can get the headset and three free games – RuinsMagus, After the Fall and Les Mills BodyCombat – for just £379.99. Keep in mind that the deal won’t go live until November 24 and will end on November 28, 2022 (like all other Cyber Monday deals).
