A:AnswerOculus is owned entirely by Facebook so it requires you to use your Facebook account in order to access the Oculus Store and the other services. You can't use the device without signing in and connecting it to your Facebook account.
A:AnswerYou use you’re phone to download the games. Search in the App Store oculus, make a account, setup your oculus when you get it, most of the games are $29 each and some are free
A:AnswerMy friend says he has about 12 games there so far and isn’t to 50% yet. Most games are 1gb or so according to google. But that depends if and when they come out with some triple A games. On PS most games are only a few GB. When you DL a game like Call of Duty that jumps to about 60gb. I’d say 128 hits the spot for 1 actively played game or 2 that’s bigger, and a bunch of indie games. You can always re-download later.
A:AnswerYou can use it wired using a USB-C to USB-C cable connected to your PC, Oculus sells one themselves or you can get alternatives as they are cheaper.
You can also use it wirelessly using Virtual Desktop or Oculus Airlink, both available in the Oculus Store, although you might notice slight latency issues.
A:AnswerHeyyyy! Welcome to the club. I myself just worked and scraped together enough money to get one. A few key points of this over the production version that was recently dismissed. The 64GB version is replaced with the 128GB version for no additional consumer cost. It also will come with a silicone cover now. Previously no cover shipped, and the facial interface is known to have caused facial irritation and rashing and things to a few people. I highly suggest spending money to get a new facial interface from VRCover if you get the headset. I also suggest getting a new strap for the headset. The Oculus Elite Strap could do but has a record to snap after use, so I personally am gonna mod mine out once I get it with a more expensive HTC deluxe audio strap. Also, I suggest getting something with that strap as a counterweight. I would say a battery bank would be worth it since the Quest 2 only lasts 2 hours of play-time before needing charging, which gets progressively worse as it is a Lithium-Ion battery that degrades over time. Although when starting to use the device for the first time it is suggested to play only 15 minutes the first day, 30 the next, and work yourself up until comfortable. Play simple, and probably free games as you get used to the device and gain your "VR Legs" as people call it.
For the ORIGINAL QUESTION. It is said that it will release August 24th. Although it is noted that the BestBuy site currently is saying the 23rd of August.
Happy Questing!
A:AnswerThe previous release of the quest 2 came with the foam insert that you had, since then they have issued a voluntary recall or an option to get a free silicone face piece. This new release will have only a silicone piece.
A:AnswerUnfortunately no, there is no way to expand storage besides the internal memory as external drives will not work with the device. However, most VR games available are quite small (around 2-3gb) so you'll not need to upgrade storage unless you are a content creator and have to record a lot of gameplay.
A:AnswerThis is a standalone headset, meaning you CAN use a PC but you can also 100% go without. You only need a PC if you want to buy and play SteamVR games like Blade & Sorcery and other such games.
TL;DR, no you don't need a PC.
A:AnswerThe Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone device, meaning it doesn't require you to use your phone or PC after you set it up. You will need to use your phone or PC when you use it for the first time to set it up correctly with the Oculus app. You can continue to use the Oculus app on your phone later to buy and install games or even cast your view to your phone screen if you want to share what you can see from the headset.
A:AnswerThere is a wide variety of cost between games depending on the genre. Typically games range from $10-$25. There are some games that are free and some that are even cheaper then $10. However they also have a couple games in the $30-$60 range but they tend to be multiple games bundled together. The best part about it is if you purchase a game and decide it’s terrible and awful, if you play less than 2 hours they will refund your purchase for the game. They also delete the game away from your downloaded games library. It does take a few days for the refund to go through.
A:AnswerI talked with oculus support and they said that oculus hasn’t confirmed that there will be a pre-order yet so I recommend to go on oculus.com for future updates just in case.
A:AnswerIt has a built in battery pack that you will need to recharge periodically using the included charger and cable. To increase battery storage you can also buy the elite strap with battery. This greatly increases the amount of time you can use the headset before recharging.
