Black Friday Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Valve Index, HP Reverb Deals

There are four heavy hitters in the VR headset space, each with their own unique features and selling point. If you just want to get into VR gaming, the Meta Quest 2 and Vive Cosmos headsets cost £400/$400 and are easy to set up and start experiencing VR. Beyond those two, the HP Reverb costs £600/$600 and has a better screen and sound thanks to cool speakers that sit close to your ears.

If you want to get really serious with VR, whether it’s gaming or professional work, then the Valve Index headset + controllers start at £689/$689 or there’s the full VR kit for £919 £/$919. Vive also offers more professional headsets, with the Pro 2 Kit and Focus 3 Kit costing around £1300/$1300.

The best places to buy VR headsets are directly from the manufacturer’s website, which is sometimes the only place to buy in the case of Vive headsets: Reverb and Valve Index. They are on sale though, so hopefully we’ll see some discounts throughout Black Friday. For Meta Quest shoppers, the headset is widely available at Currys, Argos and Amazon in the UK and at Best Buy and Amazon in the US, so it should get discounts too. Here’s where to buy the VR headsets:

Black Friday deals on VR games

There are plenty of great VR games out there now, with hugely popular RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout 4 now having VR versions, as well as games made for VR like Half-Life Alyx which is a borderline masterpiece. There are also VR must-haves, namely Beat Saber which is almost a right of passage for VR games. In the US and UK, Humble is a great place to get VR games for less and hopefully there will be more big discounts on VR games this Black Friday.

Do you need a console or a PC to use a VR headset?

Not anymore! Older VR headsets had to be connected to a PC or console to operate and run games, and often required base stations for easy tracking. Now though many headsets are completely wireless and don’t need to be plugged into anything. The Meta Quest 2, Steam Deck, HP Reverb and most Vive headsets do not need to be connected to a PC or console and base stations are not required, but some headsets have the option of docking basis for improving monitoring.

Will retailers be offering Oculus Black Friday deals?

Meta (formerly Facebook) has rebranded the Oculus line of headsets to Meta Quest, so you’ll be on the lookout for Meta Quest 2 deals from retailers this Black Friday. We hope a few of the retailers we listed in the article above will have Meta Quest deals this Black Friday. There weren’t any last year, instead retailers were offering £50/$50 gift cards with a Quest purchase, but now that the Meta Quest 2 price has gone up we might see discounts this Black Friday.

How much do VR headsets cost on Black Friday?

It will depend on the helmet you want to get. The Meta Quest 2 and Vive Cosmos headsets start at £400/$400, so if they see a £100/$100 discount, you could get into VR for as little as £300/$300. Otherwise, you could be paying close to £1,400/$1,400 for a pro-grade VR headset with additional base stations and accessories. Last year the Vive pro Full kit dropped to $900, so some good Black Friday deals could bring similar options down to around £1000/$1000.
