The Oculus quest 2 VR headset was preordered more than five times as much as last year’s original model. Mark Zuckerberg described the launch as the company taking’major steps forward in building the next computing platform’.

Zuckerberg:’ I think that the new quest 2 product is extraordinary. And I’m really proud of the work that we’ve done there’.

The quest 2 is shipping with a starting price of $ 299 – that’s $ 100 less than the previous model. Facebook is going all-out to make this as mainstream and as accessible a device as it can be.
