It’s time to buy the Oculus Quest 2 as the Meta Black Friday deals have gone live and are the best we’ve ever seen for a VR headset.
As the company has teased, the Oculus Quest 2 128GB model is down $50/£50 to $349.99/£349.99 (opens in a new tab)and the 256 GB version is from $70 / £70 to $429.99 / £429.99 (opens in a new tab). But if that’s not enough, you’ll also get two free games: Resident Evil 4 VR and Beat Saber (two of Oculus Quest 2’s best games).
So while the discount doesn’t bring the headset back to the cost of the pre-raise price increase (which was just $299/£299 before August 2022), the added games more than make up for it, cementing it as the best Oculus Quest 2 deal in Black Friday in history.

The Oculus Quest 2 is one of the best VR headsets out there, especially if you’re on a budget. While not as impressive as the Valve Index in terms of specs or usually as cheap as the Pico 4, the Meta device does more than a few things.
First, unlike the Index, the Meta headset is self-contained. If you want to connect it to your PC you can, but to play a VR game you don’t have to. You also don’t need to set up any annoying towers in the real world, just free up space and draw a quick outline after putting on your headset so it knows where it’s safe and you’re ready to go.
Second, while the Pico 4 is usually a bit cheaper at £379 (it’s only available in the UK) and has slightly better specs, its software is definitely worse now. Overall, Pico OS doesn’t feel as polished as Meta hardware, and Pico 4 games aren’t as good as those on the Quest platform. Not only are great titles like Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR missing, but Pico 4 versions of games like After the Fall and Walkabout Mini Golf lack content available on competing 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 grab a headset and three free games – RuinsMagus, After the Fall and Les Mills BodyCombat – for just £379.99. Just remember that the deal won’t run until November 24 and will end on November 28, 2022 (just like all other Cyber Monday deals).
