Ultimately, the Quest 2 doesn’t feel like a huge leap forward. It’s more like a bunch tiny steps forward in some areas, with a few tiny steps back in others. But it’s still one of the best VR headsets you can buy today, for all the same reasons the original Quest broke the mold – and at $100 cheaper to boot. Getting into VR and playing is a seamless, near-instantaneous affair, and the wireless freedom is absolutely priceless, especially when playing free-roaming games like Big Box VR’s upcoming Population: One battle royale (which I got a chance to demo during my review period). Diehard users may still prefer the top-tier hardware in the Valve Index, and it’s not a big enough leap to warrant selling your original Quest, but for just about everyone else entering the VR space, the Quest 2 is the headset I’d recommend. The Oculus Quest 2 is available for pre-order now with an MSRP of $299 for the 64GB model and $399 for 256GB of storage. Both will be available for purchase on October 13, 2020. The Quest 2 improves over its predecessor in a lot of little ways, with a few small drawbacks like the enlarged controllers and cheaper strap. But its wireless nature, ease of use, and accessible price still make it a killer VR headset.
