It’s lighter, faster, and considerably cheaper than its predecessor.
The Quest was a big deal as a virtual reality headset, but it had its drawbacks. Atit was expensive when you consider the relatively limited pool of content from which players had to choose. Its front-heavy design could make it uncomfortable during long sessions. And the displays were good, but not mind-blowing.
I’ve been playing with the Oculus Quest 2 Virtual Reality VR Headset for more than a week and it has impressed me in a number of ways. With the virtual reality goggles, each eye gets its own 1,832 x 1920 display. At launch, the displays will only run at a 72 Hz refresh rate, but they’re capable of 90 Hz, which doesn’t sound like a big jump, but makes a critical difference when it comes to smooth motion.
Even without tethering to a PC, however, the Oculus Quest 2 Virtual Reality VR Headset really does feel powerful. Playing through Beat Saber—a game in which you use laser swords to cut through flying blocks to the tune of popular songs—the game and controllers were responsive enough that I never felt cheated out of my performance. I lost because I sucked at the game, not because it lagged or lost sight of the joysticks.
