The new Oculus Quest 2

Oculus Quest 2 was released recently. The device is an improved version of the first helmets, which allow you to enjoy virtual reality without cables or a computer. It has its own digital store, through which you can buy applications and games specifically designed for the platform. However, it is also possible to enjoy the titles purchased in the Steam library if you connect the device with the PC through Oculus Link, a cable that is sold separately and that enables this option.

It should be noted that all players who purchase Oculus Quest 2 must use their Facebook on a mandatory basis.
