Black Friday Meta Quest deals are still ongoing, but as more and more of them become Cyber Monday offers, you are technically running out of time for specific Black Friday discounts. Today, we've updated this page to show which deals have survived the night, but a few of the best accessories offers are already starting to flicker and fade. Not all Black Friday discounts transfer to Cyber Monday, so get what you can while it's discounted.

Some of our go-to recommendations are back down to their lowest-ever prices, which might mean even more discounts as we ride out the rest of the Black Friday sale. We hope we'll see companies continue to treat us with record-low price tags since 2024 was a great year for VR. The Apple Vision Pro launched, and the PSVR 2 has been all the rave despite the lack of exclusive first-party games announced for it. In the UK, the Pico 4 Ultra has arrived, so there are some great alternatives to the Meta Quest if you're still on the fence about which you would prefer. Still, the Meta Quest devices are some of the most approachable VR headsets on the shelves today.

With all the Black Friday gaming deals on offer and the best VR headsets discounted, it's best to plan long-term so you know how much to save throughout the year. If you find yourself running out of luck with the discounts we've listed below, check out our Cyber Monday Meta Quest deals coverage, as we're rounding up all the biggest discounts over the next few days over on that page.

Black Friday Meta Quest deals: FAQ

What to expect from Black Friday Meta Quest deals in 2024

Meta Quest 3's front cameras up close

The Meta Quest 3S is now here, and it has definitely caused some shifts in the landscape of VR prices. The 128GB Meta Quest 3 has now been retired, meaning that it'll get harder and harder to find stock soon. Meanwhile, as we feared, the Quest 2 has also been discontinued to make room for the Quest 3S's lower price. The Quest Pro is now out of the picture, too, but that's not necessarily a tragedy.

The 512GB Quest 3 remains an enthusiast-level option, and its price has just dropped to $499 as a result. The Quest 3S starts at 128GB and has a price of $299 but has a higher capacity 256GB model for $399. At present, any Quest headset bought will benefit from the pre-order bundle that's available for the 3S. You'll get Batman Arkham Shadow at no extra cost. If this is anything like the Asgard's Wrath 2 launch bundle last year, this could extend well into 2025.

For the final hours of Black Friday, then, we could very well see a cheeky price drop of the 512GB Quest 3, potentially to keep it competitive with the new HTC Vive Focus Vision or the Pico 4 Ultra. Since it's brand new, it's unlikely the Quest 3S will get any cheaper this year, so I wouldn't wait around to find out.

What's more certain is that some of the best Meta Quest accessories will continue to see big discounts. These always make up the majority of the deals we find, and they're a fantastic way to improve your headset's quality of life. Will you go for a new head strap that extends your battery life? Will you grab a charging stand so your controllers don't constantly run out of life? Or will you get yourself a carrying case so you can take some spatial computing power on the go? These types of things are always discounted during Black Friday, so if nothing else, prepare for those.

When will Black Friday Meta Quest deals start?

Black Friday Meta Quest 2 deals officially kicked off on November 29, 2024. However, every year, the deals seem to continue into December. We'd recommend keeping an eye on Cyber Monday events and preparing for the best offers to hit the shelves when the holiday season starts.

Is the Meta Quest 2 still worth it?

Meta Quest 3S

(Image credit: Meta)

The Quest 2, in my opinion, is still worth buying for first-time VR gamers - if you can find it below the cost of the new Quest 3S. Annoyingly, it's been very tricky to find it of late, and that'll only continue since Meta has officially discontinued it to make room for the Quest 3S.

If you can find one, or you're a collector looking for one to put on display and cherish forever, we'll do our best to find some, but we'd be cautious. Prices of retired devices like this can go up through the roof, so be careful you don't pay too much for one.

If you're a first-time VR headset buyer, maybe look at the Meta Quest 3S instead, seeing as it's going for the same price as the Quest 2 used to sit at.

Hardware Editor

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
