With a gaming PC, yes.
Nice find!
And by that time will be a Quest 3 or Pro which would be more powerful anyway. It might even have a built in PC. Who knows for sure. Cheers
I'd personally always go down the desktop PC route, otherwise your stuck with the hardware you decide on until your next full purchase. Saying that, now isn't the time to be buying gaming gear, chip shortages mean that prices are double or more at the moment on GPU's. For example, the cheapest buy it now on a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW on ebay is currently £465, I bought the same card 3 or 4 years ago for under £300, can't remember the exact price. Prices will go back down in a year or two I reckon.
Thank you

Sorry, didn't read it all! Thanks
No, hence the first paragraph of the post ;)
I get a warning saying i haven't set up a rift headset, but this is cross buy for quest 2, yes?
Ah ok, apologies (I’m still half asleep). It is very rare for the actual headsets to be on sale, although it is possible that there maybe something in the New Years sales maybe.
Yes the actual quest 2 headset!

I dont have the Quest version, all of my mates play the Steam version (which is good fun). 1 of our friends has the quest version and while she was able to join our game, some party members couldnt see she had joined and others lost all control of their station (in game voice also broke). As soon as she left, it fixed it self, same happened again when she rejoined. Crossplay was unplayable. I agree, it has indeed been abandoned by the devs
Again as a fan of Star Trek, I like it, even if I’m just sitting on the Bridge environments, but to actually go on missions is great. It’s a shame they removed voice commands, but it’s still fun to play (for me anyway).
I'd read in a fair number of reviews that it's very buggy on Quest and none of the issues have been addressed by the Devs. Some think it's pretty much been abandoned by the Devs. What's your experience with it?
While this is cross play, it may as well not be. Its a complete mess if you mix PCVR with the native Quest version. Great game between PCVR though
the problem is that the new ship only goes up 351,210 feet with William shatner on it (cheeky)

Yikes that's a fair bit of time. I'm the same, got it a bit before xmas, bought a few titles. Only 30% codes for me. Maybe I should hold off buying anything for another while.
I've had my Oculus for around 10 months, and last week was the first time that I received £8 credit. I have bought a handful of titles from the store prior to that.
Wish they would put more rift titles on sale (skeptical)
Best deal on their store. Get it! Great game, great production value
I’m not sure to be honest, I think this is the 4th or 5th time they’ve given me one and it’s pretty much the only time I buy anything there.

Follow this guide, worked for me ;)
You purchase them on Steam, but have to have a high-ish spec PC that is VR capable in order to stream them to a headset.
These are on Steam. Oculus rift is compatible with Steam VR.
Sorry to be so dim, but how can I get these onto the Oculus, if I were to buy them for my boys? I am just the paymaster and know nothing about the workings of the VR headset. Thanks.
Nope, unfortunately not ;(

Not the cheapest it’s ever been, but 25% off is still pretty good. To be fair though, this game should be £5.99 normally, I enjoyed it (and still do when I demonstrate VR), but it is quite a simple, educational title. I find it quite relaxing :)

Not expired, nearly 8 hours left
Lies Beneath is a very good action horrorgame down to 14.99 from 22.99. Often overlooked style reminds me of the Orcs in the animated Lotr film, half animation, half live action, very creepy
Half life Alyx is probably the best game I have ever played.
For the price dead drop is a class game (y)
Woke up with a notification for £8 credit in the Oculus store. Looked at all the Festive Sale offers and wanted most of them. Managed restraint and only went for Phantom Ops, which I've wanted since I saw it on BBC Click a couple of years ago - might be another couple of years before I play it though. Hot deal! ** edit - forgot to say, Holly happydays y'ule!

Got this on the PSVR, Quest version is miles better though with the resolution. Well worth the offer price.
Thanks for the response and your helpful posts. My kid will hopefully get something out of this.
Had to look up Universe Sandbox, but I’d say that Titans of Space is more educational, but less customisable. Titans is also a standalone Quest title (Universe Sandbox is a PCVR title), so can be played anywhere without the need for a PC.
Is this worth buying if you have universe sandbox or are they very different?
No problem, happy to help :D

Yep I have. No catch, I actually ended up subscribing for 2 months as there is plenty of games there which I wanted to try, some I tried and thought yeah it's ok but nothing flash, so moved onto the next game. Id highly recommend it as some game are worth checking out, like plank challenge, but not worth buying.
A little off topic, but just bought an oculus 2. Has anyone tried viveport infinity subscription? Seems good to me but looking for catch.
Sadly yes, it's down to the developer if they want to hand out a free copy to the other platform. I find it a little sad that many haven't bothered with this and then they only discount the rift side of things. Knowing more and more people will want the quest version and have to pay full price.
I saw a thread talking about cross compatible deals between rift and quest. Are only certain games cross compatible?
Absolute joke how they have separate prices for Rift and Quest when they are exactly the same game!

One of the best AAA VR experiences I've played, with a sequel on the way. I still go back to it frequently to float around in space and skim through Saturns belt. Try to find the Extreme Drifter device and see if your stomach can handle it. If you're on the fence about this just try out the free demo for the sequel to see the quality of this. https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/2069106006465690/?locale=en_US
I might bite for this price. How does it compare to HL Alyx? Does it give you any motion sickness?
Absolutely. I'm a bit of a space nerd and have always dreamed of being in 0 gravity/piloting a spaceship so it tickled a childhood itch. Despite that, it is such an amazing, immersive experience.
For me virtual desktop is brilliant, it's pretty easy to setup too, plenty of tutorials online /on YouTube. Can always refund VD if it doesn't work out for you and you have used for less than 2 hours
Yeah, aware of that - and also that the easiest option is using Oculus Link, but would like to try the wireless approach first as I've got a capable PC and a decent home network. (y)

You just made my day (y)
Quest now has 90hz https://www.oculus.com/blog/the-first-gift-of-the-season-oculus-quest-update-adds-native-90hz-support-a-new-fitness-tracker-and-more/ their sale starts on the 20th as it says in that post - store sale ‘only a week away’. That was posted on the 13th.
thanks matt
If the title supports cross buy, you can go to the rift section on the store via app or website, buy it and then inside the quest in the store you will see that title as “free” and installable. These are the cross buy apps/games you can buy https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/section/2335732183153590/
Which title?

cheers for that ive just side loaded a pile of stuff to test out :D (y)
No problem (y)
There is no crossbuy with any Go software because FB quietly dropped everything to do with the Go just a week before the Q2 launched, so nothing that anyone bought on the Go will appear on their Q2.....sad for those that spent good money on just a 3 year old system......but it should be a warning not to invest too much of your cash on the FB VR ecosystem, if you can grab at least 90% of your vr stuff from Steam, that way when FB again drop another HMD you won't also lose all access to the stuff you paid for....and if you must spend money then at least wait for sales.
Gravity Sketch for £6.99! You are a legend.
Thank you :)

I'll be announcing some names of people who can have the Tribe XR keys shortly (I wasn't allowed to do a competition on here as it would seen as a promotion). Keep an eye out in my Spreadsheet discussion for the names... https://www.hotukdeals.com/discussions/oculus-quest-titles-information-3562701
Just a heads up for anyone looking for a free copy of the VR DJ app, TRIBE XR, I’ll be giving away a copy in my HUKD discussion about the Quest titles spreadsheet ;) Sorry, giveaway was deleted by HUKD :(
Yes, Mission: ISS is a great game/experience, but definitely not one to start with. I made that mistake and it put me off playing it for ages, tried recently and loved it (y) I just had to get my VR legs
Haha I picked up some XM3's as part of the prime deals from the warehouse. Hopefully it's not a cheeky beggar who's swapped them out for their old headphones. Ive got some of those free ones. The ISS one I think I'll give it a little while so I can get my VR legs before I try that otherwise I think my walls will end up being repainted! (lol)
If it is a dry and dull day, you can play outside ;) , but make sure the sun isn't out (or that it's not too bright out) as the cameras will magnify the light and could damage your Quest and obviously don't go out in the rain/snow XD I've played in the garden during the summer (after the sun drops the other side of the house), it's great to have all the extra space. If you're playing outside for a long time or over several nights, I would advise moving around a bit to stop the grass from dying ( (embarrassed) ). I would also advise headphones (my neighbours must have thought a zombie infested shooting range had setup next door during the summer (lol) ) Don't forget that there are a load of free titles available in the Quest store that are very good. Off the top of my head... Bait! (VR Fishing sim) MIssion: ISS (explore the International Space Station in zero gravity and space walk outside) BigScreen (VR cinema showing free to view movies and TV, plus paid to view new releases) Prime Video (another VR cinema where you can watch Amazon Prime video) Netflix (yet another VR cinema where you can watch... Netflix! (& chill? ;) )) Youtube VR (A VR cinema... you get the idea... XD ) Echo VR (Zero G sports game, like in the film Ender's Game) Jurassic World (On rails, immersive video, experience a T-Rex roaring in your face! ;) )

I see there’s a couple of new games just been released (crazy golf, a hyper dash style game & a space shuttle commander game). Seems to be a rush of new games since the Quest 2 was announced :)
I’ve not tried it yet, so not sure if you can have open rooms.
Can you play this with strangers online?
Yes, if you buy the Rift version, you get the Quest version for free too
If you buy the Rift version, you can download the Quest version for free

Some games have teleport moving which is good for motion sickness. Some have this darkened view (edges of the lens goes dark when walking) this helps reduce motion sickness. I get motion sickness in some titles. But it's all about teaching the body to get past it. Asgards wrath uses the darkened lens, and I managed 40mins before turning off from eye fatigue (was on beat saber prior to it for a while). The quality in vr from psvr to the rift is huge. The tracking is much better if you get the sensors right, the controllers feel great. The only issue is the cable on the headset. It does limit the movement, not really hit that moment where it's really in the way. But I'm always cautious off it (would love to ceiling mount the cable)
Thanks very much. Appreciate it (y) Do many of these games have a lot of motion? I could handle most PSVR games but resident evil destroyed me after a few minutes. (horror)
I added a list of the games I've ran just after you liked my comment. A few are top quality AAA to give an idea of performance.
I got a hp omen 15 with a GPU 2060, 16gb ram, i7 etc. I'm running everything at 90hz, some games on low, some medium etc. It runs it perfectly (apart from no man's sky that was odd performance) Games I've played on the laptop (all run great 90-92 FPS capped) Beat saber Box vr Saints and sinners Asgards wrath Skyrim vr Half life alyx Borderlands 2 vr No man's sky (either my power lead came out and it was in power saving mode or it just runs badly - it kept crashing on boot up from Xbox game pass at first).
Is this any better than PSVR in terms of graphics quality with a 2060 GPU or is the 2060 not good enough?

Yggtorrents all free
So you can you play Pavlov Shack without the multiplayer aspect? If so I may load it.
Bought for my quest and Rift, amazing game. Incredibly accurate.
If you want a free alternative load Sidequest and add Pavlov Shack. It has lots of very realistic guns in a shooting range and test course. Plus multiplayer live games.
Great fun this game. Although it doesnt work well with Rift S controllers. They have a big hoop over the top which messes up a lot of interactions with the weapons :(

This was on sale for what... 24 hours? Damn I just went to buy.
Thanks for the detailed update. (y) Considering RR unplugged from Quest store to get the cross play on the Rift
Robo Recall was free when you purchased Touch Controllers or a Rift with Touch controllers... Not anymore. SImarly you could also now refuse to pay for Vader Imortal which used to be free with the Quest but isn't anymore. Robo Recall is for the Rift and Rift S whereas Robo Recall Unplugged oddly is the wireless version for the Quest. If you buy one you get the other free so you will have to buy Robo Recall Unplugged on the Quest Store to get the offer now as it has expired on the Rift Store. I just bought the Unplugged version for the Quest and was able to get the Full Rift Version then for free on the store.
Robo Recall was the rift version (i.e you needed a PC to run the high end graphics) and Robo Recall Unplugged is for the quest (with reduced graphics) As for the comment about there are better shoot them ups, your probability right, however this is the best rip the arms, legs and head off the robot and make them die in imaginative ways gave I have played.
Hi, I'm a little confused about this deal. Looking on google ppl say Robo Recall is free or was free? Is this no longer free with the Oculus Rift anymore? Also there seems to be two versions Robo Recall and Robo Recall Unplugged can't find a answer what the difference is. Then to make it more confusing Epic has Robo Recall Mod Kit for free and according to above post only part game/demo?? I have a Oculus Rift, but not setup yet as I'm still building my PC to play VR. My question is should I spend money on this game while its on discount or is it free for the Oculus Rift? I'm kinda getting the impression this paid version is for the other Oculus headsets like Quest and Go maybe? Appreciate the clarification as I don't want pay a game I can get free. Thanks

Oculus is still saying notify me
I cancelled mine last week after they changed it back by 3 weeks & stock now in at Oculus.
They must have taken hundreds (someone said over 600 a couple of days ago) They are taking money on order and they have no idea when they will get stock (they and Overclockers had some yesterday but this looks like it was in the 10's). I think Oculus should look at this and stop it as they are an approved re-seller. I asked them to cancel today and was told I would get a refund but my status of "picked" it's very strange and looks very dishonest.
scan have said that may 12th is only the date they’re due to get stock in from oculus. They can’t guarantee how many they’ll receive or how many orders they can fulfil, so it’s still a bit of gamble as to whether you’ll get on even if you “preorder“ this.
Have you got it yet?

Generally speaking Nintendo are the only manufacturer who make a profit on a console sale, Sony and Microsoft take a loss. If you're going to pluck a 'fact' right out of your arse to try and belittle some at least check it's right. It itsn't complicated.
Damn, bought superhot at full price last week. Wonder if it’s possible to refund the difference
Honestly just buy Pistol Whip and Beat Saber, you wont regret either
Beat Saber was on sale last week but it was the bundle version with dlc for £29.99. Daily deals are ongoing. I got a go at launch and not long after it was every day and still is, rift has been having daily deals for ages. Quest started daily deals last week and should hopefully continue indefinitely as long as it has enough games. Daily deals update at 8am uk time.
There's no evidence it's sold at a loss, but the reason prices are high because it's a captive market with a very slim selection. The PS4 was sold at a loss for years, and may still be. There was still variance in game prices.
It's not worth the effort for this title, it's a pretty basic and short experience set to a song (not a game), it's also a few years old now and looking it.
Airlink it ;)
I saw free chocolate … (cheeky) hmmm OK (popcorn)
that's not the chocolate I was hoping for :(
I was going to post this earlier, but never got around to it, it would be much better if they made it a Quest title.
