Oculus Quest 2 Black Friday deal: Get a free $50 present card along with your headset

The Oculus Quest 2 isn’t just a great virtual reality headset – it’s also one of our most popular gaming platforms overall, and it’s also great for breaking a sweat. If you’ve been wondering what the hype is about, the Quest 2 is currently on sale for $ 50 and comes with a free $ 50 gift card.

Amazon and Best Buy both offer a free $ 50 gift card with the purchase of an Oculus Quest 2, although Amazon goes the extra mile and offers $ 50 off at checkout as long as you check the coupon box on the shop page. Amazon buyers must also use the code OCULUS50 at checkout to receive the free credit. The deal runs through November 29 and applies to both the $ 299 Quest 2 with 128 GB of storage and the $ 399 model with 256 GB of free space.

That extra $ 50 can help you expand your Quest 2 with useful accessories like extra handles for the headset’s touch controllers or a carrying case to take your glasses with you on the go. Or you can use it to get a head start on holiday shopping or to buy something completely random. We will not judge.

Our favorite VR headset

Access tons of immersive games, training experiences, and entertainment apps with the Oculus Quest 2, and you can get them now with a free $ 50 gift card.

Aside from the bonus money, the Oculus Quest 2 is just a great tech buy for both serious gamers and people who are just looking for a fun new way to entertain. This headset is completely wireless and self-contained, so you can use it in pretty much any room and not have to set up pesky sensors or trackers to get started. It has a fantastic and diverse library of games – you can cut blocks to music in Beat Saber, take part in lightsaber fights in Vader Immortal, and experience the horrors of Resident Evil 4 in the first person, to name a few highlights. And if you take an Oculus Link cable, you can plug the Quest 2 into your PC to play high-end VR games like Half Life: Alyx and Star Wars: Squadrons.

But Quest 2 isn’t just a great gateway to virtual reality gaming – it can help keep you active too. The Oculus headset has a number of great fitness apps like FitXR and Supernatural, the latter of which I have personally used for almost a year. As someone who usually hates exercising, the Quest 2 got me to actively enjoy exercising and even has a built-in app that lets you keep track of your calories burned and exercise time. And when it’s time to cool off, there are plenty of entertainment apps that you can use to have your own personal Netflix movie or experience a roller coaster from the comfort of your couch.

Plus, at a time when the PS5 and Xbox Series X are still very hard to find, Quest 2 is a great alternative if you want to give someone (or yourself) a gadget that can play a ton of great games. It can also be your gateway to the metaverse, for better or for worse. No matter how you choose to use it, we would recommend this versatile headset to anyone – especially at this rare discount.
