Facebook appears to have leaked the Oculus Quest 2 headset , stating that it will be " the most advanced all-in-one VR system ."
According to several leaked videos on Facebook Blueprint, the headset will be smaller and lighter, and will come with a soft fabric strap instead of the hard plastic strap they had before. This will address the lack of comfort, one of the main issues with the first Oculus Quest.
The Oculus Quest 2 will also be much more powerful, with Qualcomm 's VR-oriented Snapdragon XR2 processor instead of the Snapdragon 835. It comes with 6GB of RAM instead of 4GB, and 256GB of storage for games and other apps, up from 128GB.
Best of all, it should be the highest- resolutionyet, at 2K — 505 more pixels than before. Facebook didn't reveal the refresh rate, though rumors have pointed to 90Hz instead of 72Hz on the previous model.
The controllers will also be new, with updated ergonomics “for an even more comfortable experience,” the company said. Plus, you can “get rid of the controllers” entirely for some games, as the Oculus Quest 2 supports hand tracking. Finally, it will offer audio to help you identify where objects are coming from during gameplay.
While it was initially released as a standalone headset, the original Quest was eventually updated to support the Oculus Rift PC via the Oculus Link cable. The Quest 2 will have this feature from the start, allowing you to play high-end PClike Stormland, according to Engadget.
The Oculus Quest 2 should also perform much better in standalone mode thanks to its more powerful specs, as the original model tended to struggle with certain games. While Oculus appears to have addressed the comfort complaint, there's no word yet on whether it's addressed the second major issue with the $499 price tag.
