If you’re at all interested in VR, the Meta Quest 2 is the only standalone VR headset we recommend buying, and it’s discounted for Black Friday for the first time since its 2020 release, making now the right time to buy one. Plus, you’ll get two popular Quest 2 games with your purchase.
If you already own the Quest 2, or you want a gift for the VR lover in your life, don’t worry: there are a ton of games and accessories discounted right now as well. We’ve tested all of the most popular Quest 2 accessories, and can help you sift through the junk and find the tech that’ll make your virtual experience even better — and then find the best games to immerse yourself in beautiful worlds or terrifying experiences.
But first, here is the main Quest 2 deal you need to know about: the Quest 2 is $50-$70 (opens in new tab) off depending on how much storage you need, and comes with both Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR, two of the best Quest 2 games that normally cost $70 in total. All that saved money can go right into buying more games and accessories!
With that out of the way, here are the rest of the great Quest 2 Black Friday deals you need to know about.
Quest 2 Black Friday deals: Accessories
By default, the Quest 2 comes with an uncomfortable strap that puts too much weight on the front of your face, plus a relatively short battery life. You can solve both of these problems with an official Elite Strap with Battery, but it’s expensive and not currently on sale. Thankfully, there are some great Elite Strap alternatives that we love that do have Black Friday discounts.
The Quest 2 rests firmly on your face and forehead, which can cause sweat and skin irritation. That, in turn, causes lens fogging due to how heat rises inside the headset. What you need is a replacement face cover that offers better padding and air circulation.
You’ll also find a wide range of other Quest 2 accessories on sale, from chargers to headphones, that’ll normally retail for far more.
