This year's Black Friday deals are officially over in the US and the UK, but that doesn't mean the deals are completely gone - plenty of excellent Oculus Quest 2 deals are still live following this year's Cyber Monday deals. This Black Friday, the VR headset was down to its best-ever price in the UK and US, so if you've been looking to pick up the headset this is your best chance.
If the Oculus Quest 2 isn't quite what you're after, we'd highly recommend its successor, the Meta Quest 3 (which we gave five stars in our Meta Quest 3 review). While the best deal to be found right now doesn't include a discount, you will get a free copy of Asgard's Wrath 2 with your purchase (though the game doesn't launch until December 15).

What Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals are we seeing in 2023?
Last year for Black Friday, Meta offered a pretty good bundle deal that not only shaved money off the Quest 2 headset but gave you a fantastic VR game for free in Resident Evil 4 VR. This year we’re seeing something similar with Asgard's Wrath, though we’re not super sure what to expect across the weekend because the Quest 2 is in a very different place than it was in 2022.
Firstly the VR headset got a major price drop down to $299.99 / £299.99 for the 128GB version and $349.99 / £349.99 for the 256GB model earlier this year. This is the price it was before a major price hike in August 2022 and we’re not sure Meta will go much lower on it, because the headset is apparently already a loss leader.
Secondly, Meta now has the new Meta Quest 3. It’s only just launched and while new tech typically makes older generations go down in price Meta might not want to distract us from its shiny new gadget as we head into the all-important holiday season by offering an amazing Quest 2 deal.
So at best we expect the Quest 2 is also bundled with an accessory like the Elite Strap in some places, but won’t have a proper discount.
