Oculus Quest 2 Advanced All-in-One Virtual Reality Headset, 128GB

Product Overview

The Oculus Quest 2 128GB is a standalone virtual reality headset developed by Facebook Technologies and later sold under the Meta Quest brand. This configuration combines the Quest 2 headset with 128GB of internal storage and wireless motion controllers. It can run compatible virtual reality applications directly on the headset without requiring a gaming computer for normal standalone operation.

The headset uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 platform with 6GB of system memory. Its fast-switch LCD provides a resolution of 1832 × 1920 pixels per eye. Four exterior tracking cameras support inside-out positional tracking, allowing the headset and controllers to determine their positions without external tracking stations.

The 128GB configuration became available in August 2021 and replaced the original 64GB entry-level Quest 2. The hardware supports room-scale and stationary virtual reality experiences, controller tracking, hand tracking, spatial audio, and optional connection to compatible computers for PC-based VR software.

Quest 2 was originally marketed under the Oculus name before Meta transitioned its VR hardware branding to Meta Quest. The product has since been succeeded by newer Quest hardware, but the 128GB Quest 2 remains identifiable as a distinct storage configuration of the second-generation Quest headset.
