While the lenses and displays aren’t quite as sharp as the Quest 3 , the underlying chipset is the same, and this is a much more reasonable price for casual VR gaming and movies. In other words, it’s a big upgrade over the Quest 2. You’ll also get three months of Horizon Plus , which gives you access to a huge library of games.
