The Oculus Quest 2 is (almost*) better in every way than the original, provided you have no problem signing in with your Facebook account. But how does the standalone experience compare to PC VR this time around?

A couple updates since we filmed this: - Oculus has released the 90Hz update for the Quest 2 - Oculus Link is now out of beta, and also supports 90Hz on the Quest 2 - You can also now cast directly to a web browser
Can we get a new video reviewing the 90hz?
@Thomas Norman so is it live up to the rift S linus says it didnt buy that was while it was still in beta think i want the quest 2 over the rift s
Pretty sure someone told you guys already, but with the virtual desktop app, which can be found on the quest 2 store, you can wirelessly stream your pc games to your quest with minimal latency. And this with higher bitrate than the link cable. Definitely something you guys could make a video on. The only requirement is a good router/ap with preferably 4 cpu cores to handle the transmission.
Quest 2 or Rift S?
When are you guys testing the HP Reverb G2?
He tells linus the owner of the channel to go to the next game, Lol, LINUS CHOOSES WHEN HE GOES TO THE NEXT GAME
Hol up ... I need to have an ACTIVE, COMUNITY FRIENDLY facebook profile to use this .... don't tell me I can't just make a new FB account and play ? LE: Nevermind ... it's worse than I thought ... F*** Facebook
Big Zucker is gayer than Joel Derfner
Me waiting for him to drop it:
this video is collaboration with the hacksmith
I've never owned a Facebook account, guess I can't use this product... Eh, might make a bogus one, it still looks kind of cool.
Can you stream Steam VR games or only Oculus Store game though, the text seemed to imply you are locked into Oculus store only?
I like to think of this as your paying for half the price with personal data instead of money. Which I am ok with. And I am a massive online privacy advocate.
Yo thats a really cool arcade machine in the background 1:54
2:00
Facebook want to help protect your personal data by having you give them your personal data and tying it directly to a gaming peripheral that in no way shape or form has anything to do with your personal data. Hmm... OK then...
You can use virtual desktop to play pc games wirelessly without delay. im doing that now. just make sure you have a good 5GHz connection with very good speed. (im having no delay and i have 500 mbps down)
Linus, if you can connect the oculus through a link cable to pc, will it work with a MacBook Air? (That’s the only computer I have)
what link cable were you using?
would be nice if they was in stock, closest shop that has it to me is 105 miles away
the cable is actually useless, playing wireless with 5ghz connected to pc is really amazing, no input lag at all, i can't see experience any lag, the only down is the battery
I prefer the €700 HP reverb G2 over the €350 rift s or quest 2 just for not needing a stinking facebook account..
I like steam
I don’t admire the way he handled it.
When u know you could still never afford it.....the vids still fun to watch tho.......just to imagine
At least you didn’t sell me a water bottle
Tell me it’s sponsored by oculus at the start mannnnnnnnn
John Carmack has an interesting vlog about the quest 2 and it's development roones.info/news/14qdumdt07F-joo/video
Riley is so embarassing
Sandals with socks
apart the fucking shitty facebook link account, the device is an awesome VR for that price
ay you do not need the oculus quest 2 so can you give me one pls
While it is pretty amazing, I will never support facebook in this endeavor. I hate the divisiveness between the VR companies.
Oh, this looks like a good value... "Requires Facebook account" _Insert baby turning and running away GIF_
Pls do a rift s vs quest 2
his face was so red
i have to use the glasses spacer, ( not for glass ) because if I dont the lenses get foggy
hahaha linus' sandals and socks!
Don't buy Quest 2 because you need a facebook account with your real information otherwise ban, no privacy, they record everything and send all the data to third party.
@TheROUGHbread2 Sorry you can't turn that off, FB still has your real information and if your account is in bad standing or you put false information bye bye Quest 2. Data mining is real. Facebook is one of those bad companies.
You can turn that off in your facebook account settings... Stop trying to push people away from a great experience.
tbh this isn't what i expect from linus tech tips. no comparisons. no mentions of any artifacts or latency or whether it's good or bad (others say it's great after the update) no mention of whether or not link has performance penalty compared to native PCVR no mentions of display colors and quality etc
Thinking of refunding my index and grabbing a few of these for my family. VR isn't a $1K experience anymore.
MY QUEST 2 COMES IN TOMORROW IN SO HYPED
Hope you have a good time today
Does it play with Xbox
Nope.
Virtual desktop exists. It's better than the link cable and a quarter of the price. Allows you to play pcvr wirelessly.
Love seeing linus as a meme avatar in VR chat
S
Cliffs = Quest 2 is garbage
Linus: Okay, apparently, I cut him in half. Riley: YES! Linus: Where is that coming from!? Riley: YES!
The Facebook thingy killed it for me ..
You should really try Virtual Desktop on the Quest 2 with a good router. The cable-free experience in a big room is just awsome!
what link cable did he use??
wondering how to run side quest for mac?... here is the video for you: roones.info/news/3H2F14Bps8-vmaA/video ....if ur not interested please don’t send hate on the video. it’s an upcoming channel so likes would be most appreciated 👍🏽 have a good day!!
Some people have already succeeded in hacking the Quest 2 to remove the Facebook bs. It's probably gonna be an arms race situation, but it provides some options.
4:14 *ALERT IMPORTANT* If you haven’t bought one yet this is the part you don’t want to skip. Short version? As Facebook starts the purge you may want to ensure you have a non political account because it’s mandatory to have a FB account in “good standing “!!
I got one, and I have 2 complaints. It’s uncomfortable, and has worse sound quality
crab rave 7:28
here is what I don't get. If you link it to your computer you get a performance bump. But does that size of the improvement correspond to how good the computer is? Or will any computer at min specs or above look exactly the same?
The facebook inside out tracking is not by mistake...... I think they want to make an algorythm that would make ads more "relevant" to you by using those cameraes. Lets say the quest 3/4 comes out, and they have managed to make it reccognize that your computer monitor was released 7-9 years ago..... Then boooom, loads of adds for great new computer monitors that should be in the range for someone with your budget. Calculated by how expensive the stuff around you is, or just what job you have listed at your facebook account. Pheeeeww.... That is enough Alex Jones`ing for me today.
Wait so i cant play a oculus quest 2 on mobile?????
No judgment just curious. Is Riley wearing lipstick?
Can you make a video on Virtual Desktop
Next up is getting VR Desktop for tether free Quest 2 PC gaming....
Riley is defi it's my favourite
mark zuckerberg being who is, not only doesn't warrant being capitalized but also keeps anyone who's aware of the current state of the world from buying this. We all know what he's done & have a rough idea why. Yeah if he owned it & admitted publicly to all the terrible things he endorses it might make everything a little easier to swallow. Although even if he did I still wouldn't buy one, I don't need VR, I just need him to stop trying to change RL.
Linus’s fart stinks at 5:54
Does Oculus Link work with the 3000 series gpus?
Yes!
Damn Trump can't play with us anymore daddy Zuck?
Great job not mentioning how awful the lenses are. I bought one of these and I'm going to return it. I can't get the blurry spots to go away no matter how much I change the settings.
Do I need a Facebook account to use this?
Just make a burner account and crank the privacy settings to max, problem solved. Use a fake name if you have to. Idc if mark sees that i’m a degenerate as long as nobody I actually know can see what i’m doing.
I was going to buy one of these until I found out you have to log in with facebook, I don't have an account and that wont be changing, bad move on there side
I know this a stupid question but.. this is compatible with different VR stuff right? e.g VRchat? I only ask cos the trailer made it seem like it came with built in games implying those were all you could access.
Ok why is Facebook a bad place because I ordered my quest a while back and I don’t know why people aren’t getting it because of Facebook
Who still has the glasses spacer sitting in the box unused? Also... *Who kept the box??? Is it just me?*
Yes n yes i got mine sitting up proudly idrc ab the Facebook thing it seems to be the only thing holding people back from buying it, suck it up or miss out !
0:42 Careful jesus

Why do people care about their data?
I'm very looking forward to trying HOLOFIT on 7th January when it will be released on the official Oculus Store! Quest 2 seems to be the best present I could choose for my husband and me this Christmas :)
I was ready to buy one today until I saw the Facebook requirement...it’s a hard pass.
TO ANYBODY THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BUY THIS, I'm just letting you know that it's not as shaky as it seems in this video as I have one and know what it's really like. BTW (it's worth so much more than 300 dollars go get it)
Thx
I just got it and I absolutely love it
I bought 2 a month ago directly from oculus for my kids for Christmas. I have yet to recive them and their customer service is impossible and horrible. Wish I would of know that before ordering directly from them.
Everyone are so scared of facebook for some reason. But why? i don't get it. Any platform you play on can ban you. If you have a smartphone your data is basically sold at this point. So please tell me why.
@avrona indeed! Very strange.
Don't get it either. People are saying they don't want to buy one of the best budget VR systems around just because of you needing a Facebook profile, what a strange world we live in.
299 bucks. Yeah I wish. In Lithuania it's over 600€ for some reason.
Only if it wasn't owned by Facebook, I'd even rather have Apple own it
People don’t realise that everything you sign up for saves your personal data google etc 😂
Facts people are just dumb 🤣
Honestly, everythig collects your data all the time anyway... your phone, your car, your washing machine... but this is a problem? You are praying at the wrong church, if you dont want to buy it because of that you are really out of touch.
Facebook is mainly interested in your data for targeted ads. They sell marketing info to agencies. All this talk about Facebook, when you really should be worried about Google. Google collects much more insidious information about you, than whether you like sour cream and onion, or cheddar potato chips or whether you like 1st person shooters or RPGs. Google has your search history, location data, has access to anything you upload to their cloud, etc. But keep complaining about Facebook lol.
Nerd lizards can’t make cool toys, you need someone with a soul to do that..
I recommend not getting it, it has serious fan issues rn and I have no clue when it will be fixed, save your money and wait.
@Invasious mine were too, but after owning it for a few days it happend
That might be a manufacturing error for your own system, my quests fans are absolutely fine
Remember, the US and Germany are currently suing Facebook. So they might even not be usable in those countries soon.
I tried it and found the tracking of the controllers to have too much latency to be useful for beat saber (unless you’re a beginner)
@60FPS Gamer it must be in part due to their low powered camera-based tracking. It’s someone els’s headset and they won’t notice the issues anyway since they aren’t doing anything too crazy. I play beatsaber on expert plus and at that speed the sabers feel like they are noodles
@keco185 Wow im sorry to hear that man, i wonder if this is a common issue or just the way the headset was made?
@60FPS Gamer I have it all running on the headset. No computer. I don’t know where the latency comes from. But the headset itself seems to be very low latency. Just the controllers lag some. And it’s not a lot. Perfectly fine for slower paced content. And the screen looks pretty good too
too much latency in VD or Link?
Riley is the nicest
Human's now have "evolved" to flailing their hands around while wearing goggles.... 😞 Mankind is doomed lol
Omg please stop throwing it around lmao.
The oculus quest 2 is NOT a great deal. Nothing could be worth the price of your freedom and privacy. If you would sell your soul for a 100$ discount, I'm sure you'd probably sell your own mother for a ps5. Which, admittedly, sounds about right for most of you.
And I just bought the Oculus quest 2
I shoved a thicc portable phone charger in my pocket and doubled the battery life
I don't get the issue. Yeah My personal FB is a no go ( not like I use it anyways) but I plan on just creating a new account specifically for the quest 2.
Can you play steam vr games on it?
He loves watching us
They share a headset, controllers, room, etc etc for hours and hours. Thank goodness they stayed 6 feet apart and wore masks.
ANYTHING? --> 0:08
Wait was that a usbc too usbc cabel
So sad, really wanted to get it, actually saved up for it, then they pulled the FB BS.
