Quest 2 vs Quest 3: Is it REALLY time to upgrade?

The Quest 3 is nearly here but is it really worth buying over the Quest 2, or upgrading to it if you already have one! Quest 3 is an absolute beast when it comes to specs, it's a clear and assertive upgrade over the Quest 2 for sure but not everyone will need the power and features it's offering, for newcomers and those curious about VR the Quest 2 still offers an incredible quality experience and the best value proposition on the market; 299.99 for a VR headset with a robust back catalogue that includes almost every single highly rated VR game is actually really incredible. Today I'm weighing up the Quest 2 vs Quest 3 debate and talking about whether or not it's worth buying the Quest 3 at this point in time. Ultimately it all boils down to who you are and what you're looking for when it comes to a new VR, or perhaps your first VR, headset.

I just bought the Quest 3 and my daughter owns the Quest 2 but I also had a Quest 2 myself for years. If your wondering which to get I'll just say go with the 2 for now. It's super cheap right now and really at the end of the day the differences aren't that great. The thing I cares about is the graphics leap of the 3 and as of now that leap isn't big enough to justify the price tag. Maybe that will change a year down the road but today it's not. Also the color passthrough is nice but unless your lighting is just right it's very grainy. Mixed reality is really cool but it feels sort of like a gimmick to me. I did find motion sickness is lower on the three for me although I do have my VR legs. Visually speaking the lenses on the 3 are the biggest reason to upgrade also the bump in resolution but to be honest once your in game it's something you forget about. At the end of the day I feel like the 2 being only $250.00 is just such a bargain especially considering the VR library available. In truth the biggest problem with VR is having a great game come out, playing it for a while and then the quest collecting dust until the next game. Money to value the quest 2 wins for me hands down.

[@gobo2093]

A fantastic and well thought out video/overview. I love how you not automatically push everyone towards the new and better but instead list pros and cons for each. Well done! I got the Quest 2 as soon as it was available (upgraded from a Rift CV1) and loved it, both for its standalone capabilities and for wirelessly connecting to my PC (nothing is quite like flight simulators in VR). Unfortunately I lost it in a fire back in March and have contemplated buying a new one but never really gotten as far as actually doing so... And then the Meta Connect revealed the Quest 3 and I instantly prepurchased it. Hopefully it'll arrive soon as I know it will be a perfect fit for me. Also looking forward to PianoVision. ^_^

[@SeanLumly]

I would purchase a Quest 3 IF: 1) I could install what I want, when I want without having to go through the store or jumping through hoops 2) It had a larger support/focus on non-gaming applications (see point 1). I think I'm just going to wait for Valve to make a move, or a critical-mass of must-have titles on the platform. Until then, I'm holding off. And based on the reported reduction in shipments, I'm not alone.

Your first point is possibly the dumbest thing I have read in a while. What the fuck 3rd option for installing games are you talking about? Literally any option that isn't through the store is going to defacto require jumping through hoops. What kind of nonsense are you spewing? And for the record, the Quest 3 does allow you to install whatever you want. Some people even pirate games by downloading the APKs and installing them manually. You are literally clueless with how technology works.

You are going to kick yourself when you get it and realise what you have been missing out on all these years

[@PoGGiE06]

Definitely try population one: not everybody loves it, but plenty do, and it's free. Besides Team Beef's VR conversions, it's *the* VR experience/game that I keep coming back to (and I have quite a few games ...). Obviously try PCVR, too, if you can ... my personal experience was that virtual desktop works much better for me than the native airlink solution, even with a USB3 C cable, so bear that in mind: different people have different experiences, and that topic has been discussed to death all over the internet, and note that quite a bit of 'tinkering' can be required for some people, which can be tedious (that's true of most 2d games nowadays anyway? pages of graphics settings, card configuration, Windows system settings etc. and this adds another layer on top). You also need a more powerful PC for this than 2-d games, particularly graphics card. Enjoy!

Especially once more developers double down on making big awesome, full game sized experiences like RE7, REVillage, Skyrim etc. It’s so mind boggling the very first time you experience it. Like turning your head around in game and actually seeing the world around you. Lol first time I played it was so immersive even with the limited tech that I went to lean on a table in game and almost fell over. Laughed so hard. Couldn’t believe I even did that without thinking 😂 Can’t even begin to imagine 10-15 more years from now 😌

Long time OG fan of the channel and Vr in general, and thanks again! Personally (*and I don't know if others) I'm wondering about Quest 3 vs Pico 4. I am in Canada and had to order a Pico 4 via Amazon UK and I love it, and when I look at the specs/reviews of Quest 3, I'm just not super excited. But, admittedly part of that is I'm all in for PCVR, not standalone hardware/processors. But would love to see a roundup of those thoughts.

[@user-ni9vo1cd3g]

Love your videos man! just wanted to know what benefits you would expect from a youtube thumbnail.

[@epiclight858]

I kind of already know the experience or AR/MR with the 3DS which really kickstarted more of the interest in the technology. What they need to create now is how you can visit someone elses MR anywhere in the world with just a few sensors and cameras. I believe this will be where we are headed with a Quest 4

[@FromDesertTown]

Now that we've been using Quest 3 for a while, have you found much use for AR/MR on this headset? I haven't. Hopefully Quest 4 (or Quest Pro 2) will use MUCH better passthrough cameras. Looking forward to when we won't need passthrough cameras at all.

[@CosmicVRS]

I've had the Valve Index since early 2020, but I feels very heavy and I'm kinda sick of the wire, but no one ever compares the index and the quest 3 with things like black levels and FOV. Is Quest 3 an upgrade or no??

i have a quest 1 currently and heard about the quest 3 coming out so i did a lot of research about it and i was so stunned with all of the features i knew it would be worth the somewhat hefty price. I can not wait to get it to see how much of a difference it makes to the quest 1 im sure it will be night and day

[@Hypernova-ug4ob]

nice video Beardo, keep doin what you do for us :)

[@SjaakSchulteis]

You said it right! I agree to the fullest. Besides, I think that the fabric strap of the Quest3, though not the most comfortable and the smaller controllers, make it a compact set. If you want to bring it along on your holiday, it is less cumbersome than the Quest2. I love the thought of color passthrough in 3D. In quality it might even be better than that of my Pico4. I use the passthrough where it is possible: fitness games, just simply walking with my headset to where I play, watching movies or being in the home environment. And since I have been putting some extra money away since I heard about it last year, it is an easy purchase for me and I'll be buying the 512 gb version (my Quest2 has 64gb only).

[@markrearden1547]

Great video, do have one question though. If I get a Quest 3 do all my quest 2 purchases appear on both headsets? Or do you have to unregistered the Quest 2?

[@TheTechnobear]

great video.... Ive been considering Q3 (have a PSVR2) for the MR aspect., but watching this video, and also thinking some more... Im going to wait, next year will be 'defining' for both platforms. I could possibly see a Q3 Pro (or whatever its called) being not so far off, with (relative) limited processing power on the Q3, PSVR2 has already shown what can be done with foveated rendering... and eye tracking in MR would be generally great. if so, another reason to wait 'if you can' ;)

[@zarrok9857]

Finally bought a PSVR2 yesterday. Eagerly awaiting for it to show up so I can finally play REvillage VR. Seems perfect for October. Also those haptic controllers seem very awesome. So glad to never see those godawful move controllers ever again lol.

Yooo my Quest 3 arrives in 2 days. First VR anything but made sure I bought a VR ready PC last time around. Been inching to get involved and almost got a Quest 2 a few months ago but glad I waited for the 3 as I feel now is a good time jump in. The passthrough is going to be really useful as I have limited space so will be good to check my environment. I fly freestyle FPV so motion problems shouldn't be a thing for me. Thanks for your review.

​​@@Thatoneguy-bn2ti I worried about the same thing 2 years ago (owning also 2 oled TVs so i'm really embracing the black levels) but trust me, the higher refresh rate alone justifies it even to upgrade to the quest 2.

[@casualgamingauraous2345]

Hello my Quest 1 Brethren..I can’t wait for mine to come in, skipped the Quest 2 as it felt that VR needed to progress a bit more and then with the quest 3 having Pancake lenses and the overall picture quality increase feels worthwhile.

Don't suppose you know if the Quest 3 works with (or has an equivalent of) Oculus Mirror? I know there are other ways to record from your headset, but Oculus Mirror is the only one I've found that has reliable image stabilization. 🙏

[@mateuszfelisiak480]

This is exactly the kind of video I asked for! Great job, thank you Ben :D Im a Quest 2 user with a decent PCVR ready rig, so I will probably take my time with a decision. Last 2 years with Q2 only taught me, that my interest in VR gaming has its highs and lows, and in heights I could play for max 2.5h a day (charging the headset once midway) and in lows I wouldnt touch it at all or for very short sessions for as long as 2-3 months (central-eastern Europe here, hate the climate change, boiling me in my AC-less flat through the summer). In other words, I spent 400$ on something that I use kinda rarely + I bought a lot of accessories to make it as comfortable as it gets. Im not saying I havent got my money's worth, but it's mainly because I havent got any headset before, so obviously going from none headset to cool versatile headset for such a price is a nice upgrade. Next 6 months will be critical I guess. There are new games coming, but nothing really that exciting and revolutionary. Pancake lenses are the biggest thing for me, because they will improve the experience overall. Im waiting to see if mixed reality gets something interesting or at least something interesting gets announced. And as we have seen from Quest Pro, Meta doesnt hesitate to drop a price a bit if the sales arent going as great as they would like, so it depends on how many people get lured by vision of the upgrade. On the other hand, it's good that Quest 2 stands viable for the coming years, because for me it means I can take my share of second-hand market and probably sell my Quest 2 + accessories locally for something between 150-200€, which I can reinvest into Quest 3, basically making it a price of Quest 2 back in the day. Im just waiting for the sweet spot - Quest 2 doesnt get cut on updates yet, but something exciting is coming to VR and I need a Quest 3 to run it (or I get ulitmately irritated with how awful those rings on Q2 lenses are, try a Quest 3 somewhere myself and decide that I cant go back :D )

[@IrishShea]

Nice, seems a decent upgrade, will likely keep me Rift S a little longer, however my Brother will pick up ones of these so it'll be fun to test it out compared to my own headset.

NGL, i almost teared up. Had my finger over the pre order button. 😩🤣 Very well done though, you can definitely tell the work that went into it. Ill be getting one, im hoping it makes a difference with PCVR as well 🤗🤗

[@Dynomite98]

I'm never a day one buyer, but ill probably upgrade to the Q3.I think its biggest pluses are the lenses and pass thru. Just from an everyday use I think it makes a big difference. My biggest disappointment with the Q3 is not having a 256gb model. Memory is so cheap now, I'm having a hard time paying an extra $100 for less space than the top Q2. Then the 512 is almost double in price and I'm really not sold on idea that potential AAA standalone titles are going to be bigger that say 50 to 60gb. I think 20gb will be a stretch for 99% of newer titles.

[@epiclight858]

Really though, my favorite game on the quest 2 is 2.5GB LOL

[@Beam3178]

The first thing i said when i put on my new quest 2 a year and a half ago was "why is everything so blurry?" I chalk it to frenel lenses with tiny sweet spot and the limited ipd adjustment settings.

Someone without a lot of money and some interest in VR can often grab a 64GB Quest 2 for under $150 used, often with some extra accessories. 64GB is pretty limiting, but as long as you’re fine with only having a few games on the headset at a time, it’s perfectly manageable.

I mainly want to know if it's worth the upgrade if your only using the headsets for pcvr? I have a 6800xt pc.

[@technogov2]

I pre-ordered the Quest 3. I play mostly PCVR using a Quest 2 and before that, the original Quest. If it's not worth it, I'll just return it to Best Buy and wait for the Bigscreen Beyond.

[@Min4617_]

Was it worth it?

[@technogov2]

@Min4617_ Totally.

[@vidarCRC]

I just want it to ship so I'm confident it arrives when it says on the Amazon page. International shipping in just 1 day? I'm skeptical but hopeful...crossing fingers.

[@MatadorMedia]

i'm still using my rift s so i preordered a quest 3. definitely gonna be worth the upgrade.

[@NokutoVR]

As a first VR headset, Quest 3 was an easy choice for me, because I will most likely not upgrade to Quest 4 if meta doesn't add eye tracking, so I would like to be future proof for as long as possible with my purchase.

[@SausageVillan]

Really tempted here ... one thing you didn't touch on, or if you did i missed it, and i imagine it's probably the same as quest 2 but the quest 3 can be used for pcvr right?

[@ashleybarnes9343]

Yes just like the quest 2 the quest 3 can be used for pc either through air link or a cable

[@iwantalot]

Makes sense to wait if have a quest 2. With no exclusives its the same old mobile type games just clearer. Vr needs AAA games like the consoles and standalone just not powerful enough.

[@cbz21]

I had a rift s sold it awhile back. Is the meta 3 a huge difference from the rift s? I want to be able to plug in the pc, too. If anyone has any suggestions on cables or headsets to look at, please let me know.

[@luisfreitas4724]

I am somewhat New to vr. I owned a rift s that I couldnt use much because of the eye distance thing. I am looking forward to get the quest 3, though. The sliders should help, the better balance as well. But Im not even buying this because of games, I am more interested in the MR side

[@DuranMediaSolutions]

I love your channel, but can't agree with this one, mate. First timers will gain tremendously from the Lenses alone!(of the Q3) Being able to looking around with your eyes balls (and not your neck to make sure your in the center sweet spot of rhe Q2) is Game changing, IMO. I hold presentations in VR using the old Q2s and the #1 thing I have to tell people after setting them up is "now, use your Head to look around. Not your eyes"(which I believe has a lot to do with neck fatigue in the long run for daily users) Love ya man, but I think you may have missed that point.

[@davidzizza]

Has anyone done an audio comparison between Quest versions and some 3rd party solutions?

[@PinkVitamin]

Does the better card and resolution not help with motion sickness in some ways?

[@ashleybarnes9343]

No, you get motion sick cos your not use to it, normally playing it every day for half an hour to an hour a day for about a week makes motion sickness go away for most people

[@PinkVitamin]

@ashleybarnes9343 oh okay I figured being in the world with pixelated and not smooth gameplay would be a symptom of it in a way I guess

[@technogov2]

I'm wondering if I'll be able to play wireless PCVR using the Legion Go with the Quest 3!!!

[@Jimneous]

Is Resident Evil 4 VR compatible with the new headset?

[@RedAce-RTI]

im pretty justified to getting it as my quest 2 is on its last legs, got it on drop and its been through a lot, honestly surprised its lived this long

[@epiclight858]

It's pretty beefy. I've only had to restart it a couple times with passthrough sound bugs

[@RedAce-RTI]

@@epiclight858 i know right, for something so flimsy feeling its durable both physically and digitally

[@moistpeanut5986]

I preordered mine last week. Giving my 2 to a friend so we can play together.

[@DerekRuggia]

i have a rift s and am really craving higher res and refresh rate, but i like to play in long sessions and that battery life is roughhh

[@HoshPak]

Uhm... if you buy new you have a solid 14-30 days (depending on where you buy) to test and return the headset if you end up not liking it. Nothing is causing buyer's remorse more quickly than buying an older model used and realizing you want more. This especially applies if you buy it for yourself.

[@thecaptainFR]

I personnaly wait for acccessories to be release by Kiwi or other companies for straps ...etc before buying, but I will upgrade for sure.

[@geoffowen7627]

I was pretty much resolute in staying on the Q2, I have no interest in AR/MR, I caved though, pre-ordered as I'm curious about - a) the new controllers. b) how Devs will use the extra power for vr games/experiences. c) Pancake lenses I love the quest 2, and to be honest I don't mind the lower graphics as long as the gameplay is great, the clincher for me is the lenses though most definitely, My main worry is I fear on release things will be buggy for a while, well time will tell. Let's hope they don't block mods or side quest titles, on the q3, that would really, really piddle me off.

[@Actualchristianity]

Tried it at Best Buy and that confirmed it for me. Def getting one.

[@patrickhentschke6542]

Do you already own a q2 or was it your first vr experience?

[@Actualchristianity]

@@patrickhentschke6542 Owned a Q2. Recently sold to put towards a Q3!

[@bonniefnaf6797]

i currently have the oculus rift s, it is going to be a HUGE upgrade for me

[@DiscoMachine-78]

Think I'll stick to my Quest 2 for now. I use it only for PCVR lately, and I'm really only in the Quest menu for as long as it takes me to press the Virtual Desktop icon.

[@naocam1]

Pretty much same

[@spidermonkeynr1]

I'm going straight to link cable.

[@Thezuule1]

MR experiences like Demeo with shared spatial anchors are probably where this thing shines the most. Finding some friends who also have a Quest 3 to bring over for a game night is harder for some than others but would likely be one of the best use cases for the MR features currently.

[@michaelfalsetti6740]

I use my headset for PCVR. I'm using a pico 4, which has color passthrough, works with virtual desktop and has a higher resolution than the quest 2. Does anyone know why I should get a quest 3? I'm thinking of getting one, but I don't want to if it's no better.
