Facebook leaks Oculus Quest 2, reveals first tech details

Facebook has just leaked the first tutorial videos for Oculus Quest 2. Yeap, a new Oculus VR headset is currently under the way, and below you can find its first tech details.

Oculus Quest 2 will be based on the Qualcomm snapdragon xr2 platform. Moreover, this standalone VR headset promises to offer “nearly 2K per eye”. That’s a significant upgrade over the first version of Oculus Quest. Additionally, it will come with 6GB of RAM.

Unfortunately, we don’t know how much Oculus Quest 2 will cost, or when it will come out. Facebook aims to officially reveal this new VR headset at Facebook Connect is on September 16th.

  1. VR is the next-gen people have been yearning and waiting for but even entry level VR headsets are far too expensive for the average user such as yours truly

  2. The new nvidia chips will be perfect for VR. I really want an index but honestly a oled with 144hz would be much better for vr. Having the space to use the thing is a bit of a pain too

  3. It’s complicated.

    Entry level headsets I would recommend to you are the WMR headsets prior to 2020, and I will still recommend them at a price range range of a 100 to 150 used. 200 quid range recommendation is the CV1 if you can get 3 cameras and want to use facebook, and the vive sits around 300 to 400 bucks used.

    Avoid the cosmos at all cost though.

  4. There is a cheaper Valve Index. It’s called the HP Reverb G2 and launches within weeks.

    It trades the increased FoV and 144Hz refresh rate for a 2160×2160 per eye display for each eye at 90Hz and has the Index speakers built in for best in class audio – at $600.

    1. Lower FOV is a big blow though. That higher FOV is one of the most important things in VR for me and pretty much why I gave up on VR, well that and a lack of good quality games.

  5. so weird to even think VR is a thing. Sure we had Half-Life Alyx… but what else is coming out? Haven’t seen or heard of any game announcements. I feel like VR is never going to take off. It’s a very niche platform. Even me… I had a Playstation VR… It was amazing to experience but after 3 months of use… I just had my fill and just went back to standard monitor gaming. I prefer it way more

        1. Blunt Force
          Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond
          The Walking Dead Onslaught
          Star Wars Squadrons
          Firmament
          Undead Citadel
          Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife
          Low-Fi
          LONN
          After The Fall
          N1NE: The Splintered Mind

      1. that game doesn’t even look that great tbh. I just don’t think companys are willing to spend money or resources trying anymore. there was a small window a few years ago yeah… but probably nothing else till valve makes something. we aren’t even really seeing half assed ports either. It just feels so dead

    1. Isn’t Ubisoft working on some VR space game that they announced on Ubi Forward recently? And yeah Lost Echo 2. Looking forward to that one.

  6. “The Oculus Quest 2 looks set to be the first headset Facebook will release following its controversial decision to require Oculus users to have a Facebook account.”

    Bahahahahahahahaha! Facebook account required. Jesus…..

    VR is still niche and mostly garbage. Requiring an account to one of the worst spying and data collection agencies of the modern world, should be an absolute deal breaker, for anyone who doesn’t have the IQ of a brick.
