Escape reality with these VR headset discounts
This month’s refresh of your guide to the best VR headset deals brings back an old friend. Temporarily, at least: attempts to shift remaining stock of theOculus Rift S, rest its bones, mean UK denizens can grab one for a lot less than its Oculus Quest 2 successor. There are also some tasty discounts on the HTC Vive CosmosElite, both here in Britland and over in the US.
As anyone who’s read ourbest VR headsetslist will attest, there aren’t actually that many kits designed with PC gaming in mind. Even so, the ones that do exist will get the savings treatment on a fairly regular basis, so don’t fret if something you want isn’t listed here – there’ll be more in time, from theHTC Vive Cosmosrange to theOculus Quest 2. Which Facebook apparently now want us to call the Meta Quest 2 but, uhhhh, let’s not. Let’s not do that.
What wewilldo is look at the finest cut-price VR wares around, and should you end up splashing the cash, be sure to consult our list of thebest VR gamesfor some playing inspiration.
The best VR headset deals (UK):
Provided you don’t mind owning the proverbial last year’s model, this clearance sale on the discontinued Oculus Rift S lets you grab a quality VR kit at a knockdown price. Katharine reckoned the Rift S was better than the Vive Cosmos when both of them were new, and in lieu of any Oculus Quest 2 deals, this could be quite the wildcard option. You will need a Facebook account to use it, though.
This isn’t part of the same sale that HTC are running in the UK, so this deal involves a smaller saving and no Viveport freebies. Nevertheless, it’s good money off one of the more technically proficient VR headsets, and comes with all the controllers and base stations you’ll need to get set up.
