Oculus Quest 2 vs Rift S - Which is best?

Written By The Provoked Prawn on Wednesday, Sep 23, 2020 | 01:15 PM

 
This is a video to compare the Oculus Quest 2 with the Oculus Rift S. The Rift S was my favourite VR headset for a long time and is still a great bit of kit thanks to inside out tracking, great visuals and sound and plenty of convenience. The Oculus Quest 2 though, is set to be the successor.

You now NEED a Facebook account in order ot use it.

But the Rift S is still a great headset. Big thanks to my super awesome YouTube members: Meatykeyboard!
