The '''Meta Quest 2''' (Also known as Oculus Quest 2) is a [[virtual reality headset]] created by [[Oculus VR]]. It is a mass-market VR device that is a successor to the original [[Oculus Quest]]. Compared to the Quest 1, the Quest 2 has 50% more pixels, better battery life, faster processing, and more memory. The headset is 10% lighter, though the controllers are slightly larger. Add-ons like the [[Elite Strap]] and [[Fit Pack]] are intended to improve ergonomics for players with differently-sized facial features.<ref name=”one”>https://about.fb.com/news/2020/09/introducing-oculus-quest-2-the-next-generation-of-all-in-one-vr/</ref> | |||

The Oculus Quest 2 is the first of the [[Oculus]] [[headsets]] to experiment with multi-user support and app sharing. You can share your apps with 3 accounts beyond your own. Each user must log in to their own [[Facebook]] account to play. App sharing is not automatically possible for all games made before this feature was deployed.<ref name=”two”>https://about.fb.com/news/2021/02/share-your-oculus-quest/</ref> | |||

The Oculus Quest 2 started shipping in October 2020. It is available worldwide through global and regional companies. For the first time, you can purchase a Quest product from Japan, too. This will soon be the only Oculus headset available for purchase; Facebook announced they will focus on stand-alone VR headsets moving forward. Facebook will stop selling the Oculus Rift S as well as Quest in 2021 but will continue to support their platforms.<ref name=”one”></ref> | The Oculus Quest 2 started shipping in October 2020.

It's been noted that the distrust of Facebook's data practices could negatively impact the sale of Quest 2, now that you must log in with a Facebook account and as it becomes the sole headset available from Oculus.<ref name="four">https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2020/9/16/21437762/oculus-quest-2-review-virtual-reality-vr-facebook-oculus-power-resolution-tracking</ref> | It's been noted that the distrust of Facebook's data practices could negatively impact the sale of Quest 2, now that you must log in with a Facebook account and as it becomes the sole headset available from Oculus.<ref name="four">https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2020/9/16/21437762/oculus-quest-2-review-virtual-reality-vr-facebook-oculus-power-resolution-tracking</ref> | ||
In October of 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta, and in March of 2022, starting in Japan, Oculus Quest 2s were silently rebranded as Meta Quest 2s in their box branding along with branding on the hardware itself. Oculus branded Quests have no difference to Meta branded Quests other than the branding itself. | |||

Facebook partnered with Logitech to make headphones better suited for VR, an alternative to the Oculus Quest 2's built-in speakers. Logitech produced two models with shorter auxiliary cables for a less clunky play, compared to standard headsets. One model is Logitech G333 VR In-Ear Headphones, and the other is Logitech G PRO VR, over-ear headphones.<ref name="five"></ref> | Facebook partnered with Logitech to make headphones better suited for VR, an alternative to the Oculus Quest 2's built-in speakers.
