Because it’s a standalone device you don’t need an expensive gaming PC or state-of-the-art console to enjoy great VR experiences – it just works, wherever you want to dive into VR.
You may want to time this for the next Prime Day, though. It’s not expected until June or July 2023, with a fixed date yet to be revealed. If you don’t want to wait until then, we have a separate monthly round-up of best Oculus Quest 2 deals.
Best Oculus Quest Prime Day Deals
The BOBOVR M2 Pro Strap has 20% off, reducing the price to $49.99. It’s an improved head strap with battery charging and a magnetic charging dock for the system – a great addition to the Quest 2 headset itself. There’s also a $10 discount on the dual-battery BOBOVR M2 Plus for Prime members.
Without refurbished models available in the UK, the deals aren’t quite as tempting for Brits. However, there is a £10 discount on a Meta Quest 2 + Dazed V2 Carry Case Bundle, bringing the cost down to £449.95 from £459.98 during the Prime Early Access Sale. However, there are no discounts on BOBOVR straps or any of the other best best Quest 2 accessories.
If you see a tempting deal below the $399/£399 (128GB) or $499/£499 (256GB) mark, you’d better act quickly as Oculus Quest deals tend to be extremely popular so stock doesn’t hang around for long.

Is the Quest 2 better than the original Quest?
Simply put, the Quest 2 is a huge improvement on the original Quest, and even if you’ve got the original, you’ll really notice the difference – but you can read our Quest 2 review to find out why.
In a nutshell, the Quest 2 is lighter than its predecessor, which translates to a more comfortable experience, but the key upgrade is the display.
At 2K per eye, it has over 50% more pixels than the original Quest, making everything look sharper and more real. The display is bright, detailed and higher res than some PC VR headsets – and with Air Link, playing PC VR games wirelessly is a doddle. There’s also a jump from 60Hz to 90Hz, with an experimental 120Hz mode also available. It’s no wonder the Quest 2 sits at the top of our Best VR Headsets chart.
There is also a range of Quest accessories that further improve the Quest 2 experience, and there are plenty of amazing Quest games that only run on the second-gen headset.
If you do pick the headset up, be sure to take a look at our top Oculus Quest 2 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new standalone headset.
We also cover the best Oculus Quest 2 deals year-round, so you’re always getting the best deal – not just during Prime Day.
