As we enter the second year of the Oculus Quest 2's life, you'll find some seriously great deals for the hardware and accompanying accessories this Black Friday. Many companies have already begun to offer sales and discounts on their accessories, and newly refined designs ensure that the accessories you buy today will be a better experience than the ones you purchased this time last year. Here are the best Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals to enhance your gaming experience.

Unlike some other consoles, Meta has been able to keep the Oculus Quest 2 in stock at most retailers without issue over the past year — even despite record-breaking sales for the headset. The new Quest 2 128GB SKU is the best value you'll find, as it's the same price as last year's 64GB SKU but with double the storage. Couple that with the upcoming cloud save system that'll make it easier to uninstall games without losing your save progress, and you've got a winning combination.

Where to find the best Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals

We're entering the second year of Oculus Quest 2 availability, which means we are actually seeing good sales and bundle deals this time around. Many retailers are now bundling a free $50 gift card with the purchase of a Quest 2, so pick your favorite retailer and be sure they're offering the deal before you check out. Amazon and Best Buy are participants, so check them first.

You can also find the larger 256GB version at these stores: Amazon | Walmart | Best Buy | Target | GameStop | Newegg

Thanks to the Meta rebrand and the fact that you soon won't need to use a Facebook account on a Meta Quest 2, these Black Friday deals are even sweeter than they would have been this time last year.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Cases

The Oculus Quest 2 was built to take and play anywhere, so it makes sense to get a case to keep it protected while traveling. There are many different types of cases you can get, but my personal favorite is the cross-strap backpack-style one from Relohas. This one is super comfortable and will fit your Oculus Quest 2 and its controllers inside, even if you've got an elite strap replacement on your headset.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Controller grips

There are many different controller grips for the Oculus Quest 2, but none are quite as comfortable or easy to remove as the ones from VR Cover. The hard plastic shell makes changing out batteries easy and sports a great grip design. The adjustable straps are simple to use and are the more comfortable ones I've ever used, thanks to the generous padding that's also removable and washable. If you'd prefer a silicone-style grip or one of the many others, several are also on sale.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Facial interface replacements

Since the Oculus Quest 2 launched, we've seen a significant number of different types of facial interface replacement designs. It might have taken nearly a year to perfect it, but KIWI Design's facial interface replacement is the absolute best one on the market. It's not just more comfortable than the original strap, but it's easy to clean and, best yet, will keep your lenses from getting fogged up no matter what season you're playing in. That's because KIWI Design figured out exactly how to get air flowing across the lenses with passive vents that are just better designed than other ones we've reviewed.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Head straps

Much like the facial interface, KIWI Design took about a year to develop the perfect head strap design. This one takes design cues from the official Elite Strap from Oculus but adds in much stronger plastic and, most importantly, a hinge to help alleviate stress on the strap and make it more comfortable in the long run. Plenty of padding helps better distribute weight, and the wheel on the back makes adjusting the size effortless.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Cables, batteries, and docks

Charging your Oculus Quest 2 isn't any fun (or useful) when it's tethered to a wall. It's also easy to forget to charge it when you've got to plug it in. So whether you're looking for a battery pack that keeps the Quest 2 charged during play, a long cable you can hook up to a PC for wired Oculus Link play, or a great dock you can effortlessly drop the Quest 2 into after play, we've got some great suggestions.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Headphones

The Oculus Quest 2 has some pretty impressive speakers built into the device, but headphones will deliver higher-quality sound and keep things more private. That's especially important for when you're playing multiplayer games with little ears in the room or if you're trying to get immersed in a great horror game.

Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals: Games

We all know you're really here for the games and, don't worry, there are plenty on sale for Black Friday! We've picked out some of our favorites that are on sale, but Meta has over 80 titles on sale for Black Friday on the official Quest store. These are our favorites, but be sure to hit up the Quest store for even more!

When do the Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals begin?

Black Friday used to just be a single day of the year but, these days, things are extending further and further into November. Many accessory manufacturers have been discounting their products for much of November, and now the official Black Friday Quest 2 sale has begun!

When you purchase a Meta Quest 2 from now until November 29, you'll receive a $50 gift card from one of the participating retailers below. You can, of course, use that gift card on anything from the best Meta Quest 2 accessories or just on another gift, entirely. The choice is up to you, but it's a free $50 either way you use it!
