VR has had one heck of a year, with some great game releases and even a few new headset launches, and Black Friday 2020 is a good time to jump in. The Oculus Quest 2 released just last month, while the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite launched earlier this year–and let’s not forget about the highly anticipated release of Half-Life: Alyx. Black Friday doesn’t have as many deals as the sale week had last year, but there are still a number of discounts and sales that might make it easier to invest in a new VR headset.
Only a couple of VR headsets will be discounted for Black Friday 2020, but there are a number of sales that discount VR games. A number of retailers have discounted PlayStation VR games, and the latest Steam Sale slashes the prices on many different VR titles. We also expect an Oculus Store sale to go live soon, discounting a number of games for Oculus Quest and Rift S headsets.
If you’re looking for more Black Friday deals, check out the best PS5 and PS4 deals, which include a large number of great games, accessories, and more. There are also some excellent gaming monitor deals and discounts on gaming chairs.
$800 (was $900) | starts Nov. 26
The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite VR headset goes on sale starting November 26 for $800, down from its regular price of $900. It features a combined resolution of 2880×1700, a 90Hz refresh rate, and two external base stations that are used for precise tracking. You’re able to play in a space up to 160 square feet as well, so if you have the room, you can have quite the excellent VR experience.
$600 (was $700) | starts Nov. 26
The basic Vive Cosmos VR headset features inside-out tracking, which means you don’t need to set up any base stations to track your movements–though you still need to connect it to a PC to power it. Like the Elite headset, it features a combined 2880×1700 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It’s a great headset, especially if your space is more limited.
$299 for 64GB | $399 for 256GB
The Oculus Quest 2 isn’t on sale during Black Friday, but it is the best VR headset out there today, thanks to its ability to play completely wirelessly or connect to a PC for more intensive VR games. If you want to get the Oculus Quest 2 before the holidays–either for yourself or someone else–you’ll want to order soon as the 64GB version won’t ship until December. There’s also a great Black Friday sale in the Oculus Store right now–accessible via the Oculus app on your smartphone device–which will help you save some cash on a variety of games.
$20 (was $40)

$70 (was $80)
If you’re a fan of shooters, then the PSVR Aim controller and Firewall: Zero Hour are worth picking up. The Aim controller works like a real gun and helps immerse you in specific action games like Firewall and Farpoint. For Black Friday, it’s down to $70 from $80.
