A closer look.
Up close.
The original review included our Quest 2 unboxing film. Watch it here for a closer look at the hardware and accessories.
02 / The experience
The experience.
Core features.
The review focused on the step from the original Quest to Quest 2: a revised design, higher display resolution and more processing capability.
Standalone flexibility
Compatible Quest applications run directly on the headset. A separate gaming computer is not needed for standalone experiences.
Movement & interaction
Inside-out tracking follows the headset and controllers through the configured play area. This allows more movement than an orientation-only headset such as Oculus Go.
A wider set of uses
Our original review explored gaming alongside meetings, social experiences, fitness and business applications. Check whether each chosen app still supports Quest 2.

04 / The physical design
Fit. Adjust.
Explore.
The headset has an adjustable strap and three lens-spacing positions. Fit is personal: take time to find a comfortable position and a clear view before starting an experience.
05 / Before you use it
The setup
matters too.
Match the headset to the experience you want to run.
Check your content
Confirm that your chosen game, training build or media application supports Quest 2. A title being available on a newer Quest does not automatically mean it works on this headset.
Plan PC-connected experiences
Standalone content runs on the headset. PC VR requires a compatible computer and a suitable wired or wireless connection. The computer, network and application all affect the result.
Include shared viewing
For events or demonstrations, discuss a TV and a compatible casting setup. The receiving device, application and venue network need to work together.
Confirm the complete kit
For a used headset or a rental, confirm storage capacity, controllers, charging equipment and accessories. Current account and app requirements can differ from those shown in the original film.
