2020 has been a great year for Oculus with the release of the Oculus Quest 2 and it’s wireless VR gaming freedom. But if you wanted to play Steam VR and Oculus Rift titles, one of the ways would be using Oculus Link in order to get that experience. But what if are new to VR, missed out on the newest Oculus Rift hardware and have the PC requirements to run it, or have been waiting on a deal before jumping in? Well, now you are in luck as Oculus has dropped the price of their Oculus Rift S by $100 making it now only $299.00. Remember there are no external sensors as the sensors are on the headset for inside/out tracking. Keep in mind that in 2021, the Oculus Rift S will be discontinued, but that doesn’t mean you still cannot use it and you may want to grab one now before your the opportunity to get the Rift S at this price point brand new is gone.
And if you are wondering if your system can handle PCVR gaming, the minimum specs are pretty giving with only needing an NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti or AMD Radeon RX 470 or higher, 8 gigs of Ram, Intel I3-6100, or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350, or higher, DisplayPort 1.2 or Mini DisplayPort (an adapter is included in the box) 1 USB 3.0 port and Windows 10. To see the full details, you can visit the support page for Oculus.
