New to Prime Day? We’ve prepared a comprehensive guide for you, covering everything you need to know . Discount information is current at the time of publication, but prices and availability are subject to change.
Real life is overrated; virtual reality, on the other hand, is vastly underrated. Whether you’re a professional looking to upgrade your VR setup or just taking your first steps into the virtual world, take advantage of Prime Day’s VR gear sales. I’ve rounded up the most notable Prime Day discounts on everything VR-related, from entry-level models to high-precision motion tracking gear for VR professionals.
This Meta Quest 3S headset costs under $300.
The Quest 3S is Meta’s more affordable standalone VR headset, currently discounted for under $300. While the graphics aren’t as sharp as the Quest 3, the 3S uses the same processor as its bigger brother, so both systems can run the same software. The bundle, currently discounted, includes the popular game Gorilla Tag and a three-month trial subscription to Meta Horizon+.
High-quality Pimax virtual reality headset is on sale at 15% off.
The Pimax Crystal Super VR headset isn’t an entry-level VR headset. It’s designed for simulations, whether racing or flying, and provides virtual pilots and drivers with a massive 3840×3840 native resolution for each eyepiece panel to make simulations as realistic as possible. It’s not cheap—$1,529.15—and it requires a powerful computer, but if you’re serious about VR, this is the one for you.
This essential cable for Quest headsets is on sale for 32%.
If you’re considering purchasing an additional accessory for your Quest headset, I’d recommend a long USB-C cable, such as this 16-foot Syntech Link cable . It allows you to connect your VR devices to your gaming PC and charger, and its extra length allows for freedom of movement. It also works with any other USB-C device.
Battery and strap for Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S with a 22% discount.
If you decide to purchase the Quest 3S or Quest 3, you’ll likely find that the battery life is insufficient and the device quickly becomes uncomfortable. The BOBOVR S3 Pro Battery Strap solves both problems. It attaches a powerful 10,000 mAh battery directly to the back of the cradle, extending the device’s battery life by approximately two to four hours. Its weight relieves forward pressure, making the headset more balanced and comfortable. The BOBOVR S3 Pro Battery Strap also features cooling fans to prevent fogging.
There are various add-on modules for virtual reality controllers available for sale.
It may seem silly, but controller accessories can actually make VR games a little more immersive by adding weight to your controller. Here are a few accessories that will enhance certain types of VR games.
-
Long Arms Controller Attachments : These attachments can be used in three different ways: dual stick mode for games like Beat Saber or Gorilla Tag , golf club mode, and long handle mode for activities like paddleboarding. Versatile!
-
The AMVR Weighted VR Gun Stock Attachment offers shooters a significantly more comfortable feel for the weight and grip of their firearm. These pistol grips will enhance immersion in virtual FPS games and make aiming more intuitive.
-
YOGES VR Golf Club : If you’re into golf, this add-on will give you a club handle and a much more realistic weight for hitting the ball.
-
Conductor’s Baton : This isn’t even a VR accessory, but my favorite VR game is Maestro , where you conduct an orchestra, and the game actually plays better if you’re holding a baton.
