Cyber Monday deals for the Oculus Quest 2 are rare, and shoppers are content to simply confirm that the VR headset is in stock at their retailer of choice. So while we continue to help with that task by checking regularly, we have good news regarding availability.

Being the best VR headset for most people, it's no surprise that the Quest 2 is incredibly popular among those looking for gaming Cyber Monday deals. This standalone device is a console in its own right, offering 6-DOF tracking and environment mapping without the need for a gaming PC or console.

Availability varies primarily by storage: the $299 64GB Oculus Quest 2 is not in stock at some stores, but those retailers often have the more expensive $399 256GB model. The virtual reality headset can be purchased directly from the Oculus website, where both 64GB and 256GB models can almost certainly be found.

If you already have a gaming PC, you can connect Quest 2 to it to play a wider range of more demanding games. For more deals on top titles, check out our Cyber Monday PC Game Deals Guide. One of these games, Asgard's Wrath (regularly $39.99), will be added to your library for free when you connect Quest to your gaming PC through January 2021.

Considering it was just released in October, Oculus Quest 2 will be available for sale a bit early. In addition to getting "Asgard's Wrath" for free, the closest thing to a sale so far is a free $15 promotional gift card with the purchase of Quest 2 on Newegg. But even if you don't find this device among this year's Cyber Monday deals, you'll still get a great headset for your money if you buy it.

How much would you pay for the Oculus Quest 2 on Cyber Monday? Wherever you buy it, the 64GB model is $299 and the 256GB model is $399. Each VR headset comes with a touch controller, USB-C charging cable, and power adapter. Many retailers also offer 6- or 12-month payment plans.

The Oculus Quest 2 is the best VR headset you can buy and has won Tom's Guide's Editor's Choice award. In our review of the Oculus Quest 2, we liked its sleek and intuitive design, as well as its faster performance and better resolution than its predecessor; at $299, it is the least expensive offering six degrees of freedom (meaning hand and head tracking in 3D space) in a standalone VR headset.

For casual gamers, the 64GB model is probably sufficient. However, hardcore gamers may want to spend a little extra for the 256GB model to avoid constantly downloading and reinstalling applications. More demanding games will consume more space. Unfortunately, you cannot expand the storage capacity of your headset, so choose wisely.
