Where to buy Oculus Quest 2 on Black Friday – and are there any Black Friday deals?
Looking for a decent Black Friday deal on the Oculus Quest 2? Well, it’s a case of good news and bad news this year.
First, the good news – for now, stock on the all-in-one VR headset is in okay health in the US and UK, even though some places (including Amazon US, based on the delayed delivery times) are starting to run low on the cheaper £299 / $299 / AU$479 64GB model. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for the best Oculus Quest 2 prices in your region)
Now let’s tackle the bad news: we’re seeing very little in the way of Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals right now, in terms of bundles or price cuts. While that might change before the year is out, we’re not counting on it, since demand for the VR headset (not to mention anything gaming-related right now) is enormous, and it’s still relatively new hardware. This makes drops less likely, because it’s already selling well.
If your preferred retailer is running low on Oculus Quest 2 stock this Black Friday, the Oculus direct store also has stock at the time of writing in the US.
No matter where you are, you can find more Oculus Quest 2 deals below with our price comparison chart. The 256GB Quest 2, which is a better choice if you really want to load the headset up with games, retails for £399 / $399 / AU$639. Do not pay more than that for an Oculus Quest 2 by itself this Black Friday.

Oculus Rift S
If stock of the Oculus Quest 2 dries up, then it’s worth considering picking up an Oculus Rift S instead, which comes in at the same price as the Oculus Quest 2 (256GB). While the Oculus Rift S is a wired headset, which means it doesn’t come with the freedom of the Oculus Quest 2, it isn’t as confined by storage the way the Quest 2 is.
However, it’s worth noting that the Rift S is a PC-powered VR gaming headset and you’ll need at least a mid-tier PC for the headset to work properly.
Oculus Rift S: $399 at Lenovo
There’s not a discount on the Oculus Rift S at Lenovo but it’s a great alternative if the Oculus Quest 2 is out of stock – and comes in at the same price as the Oculus Quest 2 (256 GB). You’ll still get access to the same game library, though the Rift S is wired and allows for less movement – plus you’ll need at least a mid-tier PC for optimal performance. View Deal

This comfortable headset has a couple of drawbacks: you need a Facebook account to use it, and VR isn’t necessarily for everyone, so it’s best to know whether you’re likely to be hit by motion sickness before dropping all that money on a headset.
Still, if you look at our best VR games list, you’ll find there’s no better time to get an Oculus Quest 2. This headset plugs directly into your PC with the right cable, too, should you have a powerful gaming PC, letting you access games on Steam with some tinkering. It’s a dimension of gaming everyone should check out.
