All The Oculus Quest 2 Games Confirmed Today: Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, And More
During Facebook's Oculus Quest 2 reveal event, the company showed off a lot of different VR games that will work on both versions of the Quest.
Alongside the Oculus Quest 2, Facebook revealed a lineup of games for the new VR headset during its Oculus event on September 16. Some of the games shown are expected to launch alongside the Oculus Quest 2, though this is not an extensive list of launch content.
While Oculus will no longer sell the original Quest headset, the company plans to support it for the foreseeable future. As such, all of the following games will be available for both headsets, though, of course, the Quest 2's improved specs (including the forthcoming 90Hz refresh rate support) will take better advantage of optimized software.
The Oculus Quest 2 launches October 13, and preorders are now open. The 64GB Oculus Quest 2 is $299, while the 256GB VR headset is $399. There are also a number of Oculus Quest accessories, like carrying cases and an Elite strap, that can improve the experience in certain ways. See our full breakdown of the Oculus Quest 2 specs and accessories; plus, check out our Oculus Quest 2 review for our impressions of the new VR headset, including whether it's worth the upgrade.
