With the release of Half-Life: Alyx, VR headsets have been hard to find, but if you’re still looking for one, then you’ll be happy to hear the Oculus Quest is back in stock on the company’s website. You can place an order for a 64GB model right now, and it’ll ship on May 19. Unfortunately, the 128GB model is sold out, but you can sign up to be notified of when it gets restocked–though as a die-hard VR fan, I’ve found the 64GB model to have more than enough storage space. Alternatively, Canadians can snag either model of the Oculus Quest at Best Buy.

The all-in-one Oculus Quest is a completely wireless device, giving you the freedom to experience and play VR games anywhere you want. However, it’s also compatible with Half-Life: Alyx if you plug it into your PC. This is possible through Oculus Link, a technology that lets you plug your Quest into a PC with a high-speed USB-C cable and play Steam and Rift games as if it was a PC VR headset. Of course, you’ll need a high-quality cable to do this. We recommend Anker’s Powerline+ USB-C to USB 3.0 cable, which is what I use with Half-Life: Alyx.
The Oculus Quest is one of the best VR headsets out there, thanks to that versatility. In addition to Half-Life: Alyx, it’s capable of playing pretty much every VR game out there–except for PlayStation VR exclusives. If you’re looking for something to keep you busy while you’re stuck inside, the Quest VR headset is a great way to escape reality.
While you kill time until your VR headset arrives, be sure to check out all of the free games you can claim right now and the best TV, movies, and games for social distancing.
