Meta Quest 2 Gets Price Drop in Canada, Accessories Too
Meta has announced significant price reductions for its Quest 2 virtual reality (VR) headset and accessories, making it more accessible for individuals to dive into the expansive world of VR.
The Quest 2 is not just a VR headset; it serves as a gateway to new realms, a social space to connect with friends and family, a personal cinema, a fitness tool, a meditation aide, and a platform for Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on a vast virtual screen, said Meta on Thursday.
Meta says these price drops will bring VR experiences to a wider audience, now starting at $279.99 in Canada.
