Just three months ago, in December, the Meta Quest 2 had a $75 discount from its then $300 list price. Amazon then started selling Meta Quest 2 bundles starting at $218, which is still pretty impressive. And now, most retailers are selling the Quest 2 for $199.99. After looking at price-checking tools, this is the cheapest the Meta Quest 2 has ever been since its 2020 release.
While you can shop for the Meta Quest 2 on Amazon, the best deal is from Walmart, which is including a $50 Meta Quest Store credit at that same $199 sale price. You can claim the $50 credit on your browser or through the Meta app by following these instructions.
The Meta Quest 2 is the most popular and the cheapest VR headset on the market, making it the best option for those who want to try a virtual reality headset but aren’t ready to shell out big bucks for the new Meta Quest 3, let alone the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro.
VR products to consider:
There are many VR headsets to choose from. You can buy the Meta Quest 2, 3, or Pro on Amazon. If you’re not sure which one is the best for you, we break it down for you here:
The Meta Quest 2 is an affordable entry into the VR space
Though the Meta Quest 2 has been eclipsed by the Quest 3, most Meta Quest games are still compatible with it—there’s a large library of older games to choose from, and most recently, even Steam Link PC VR games are now available. But you can do more than just play games; you can lounge around watching your favorite streaming movies and shows in a virtual screening room, hang out with your family or friends, or even use it to watch porn. Whatever your plans, the Meta Quest 2 is by far the cheapest and most user-friendly way to dip your toes in the world of VR.
The Quest 2 is currently less than half the price of its successor headset, but that’s not to say it’s half as good. At its current sale price, the Quest 2 is a great way for families or VR-curious people to jump in without a big initial investment. The Meta Quest 2 got an “outstanding” score in its PCMag review, which praised its minimalistic design, great display, powerful processor, accurate motion tracking, and optional compatibility with PCs.
