After signaling the Rift'south retirement last year, Oculus have now ended sales for the headset on their website. New Oculus users will now exist looking at the cheaper, more than versatile Quest ii headset. Corpo parent Facebook does require an business relationship to use the Quest two, simply RPS notwithstanding reckons it's the all-time depression-toll VR headset y'all can grab right at present and a worthy successor to what used to be one of the the best VR headsets.

With the Rift officially severed, the Oculus Quest 2 will exist 1 of the all-time ways frontward for those getting into VR for the offset time.

"It's a shame the Rift Southward has to die every bit a result, but it likewise makes perfect sense. Later on all, why take a solely PC-based headset when y'all connect a wireless one via Oculus Link and exercise both for less?"

The requirement makes it tough to recommend the Oculus Quest ii as wholeheartedly every bit she otherwise would given how proficient a headset it is compared to the contest.
