Meta Quest game sale: Resident Evil 4, Bonelab, and more

VR Version Resident Evil 4This week, you can get a lot of other great games to buy for your Meta Quest 2 headset at a significant discount. This is part of Meta’s spring sale on games, and it includes single game purchases, as well as some themed game bundles for those who may be less decisive. Note:You can buy these games for yourself or gift them to your friends and family.

There are many outstanding titles included in this lineup. In Death: Not ChainedA cool, fun way to take out foes in a game with an arrow and bow. Dark Souls), Superhot VRA trippy John Wick simulation that only moves when you move it Bonelab (one of the most immersive VR games I’ve played, with stellar gunplay and vast mod support).

This sale has been the best for me. Resident Evil 4. No, not the 2023 remake that’s coming out later this week, but the Quest-exclusive VR game developed by Armature Studio. My feelings about the game match those of my former Verge colleague Adi Robertson, who called it “a VR adaptation with a reason to exist” in her review. All you can remember from the classic 2005 game is available in VR.

You might have played Resident Evil 4 remake’s Chainsaw Demo recently and thought the village scene was pretty intense. I find that playing the game in VR gives you a more realistic sense of terror and control. As you can flip a coin to pop Ganado villagesmen in their legs, or open boxes for more ammunition, it’s possible to turn around. There are new strategies to employ that aren’t even possible in the original game. There’s even a big head mode. It’s a blast.

It is worth it to buy a Meta Quest 2 headset? It’s not, however. RE4 It’s a strong argument for buying one, along with some of the other games I listed above. It’s far easier to justify if you own a powerful gaming PC, as you can take advantage of my favorite personal use case for the Quest 2: playing Alyx Half-Life (currently 60% off). With the headset’s built-in Air Link feature, or with the optional (and superior) Virtual Desktop app for Quest, you can play graphically-enhanced desktop VR games wirelessly on the Quest 2. The Verge has a tutorial on setting this up.

If you’re thinking about buying a Quest 2 headset, you have a couple of options. You can get two free games with the 128GB base model at most stores for $399.99. Golf Plus Space Pirate Trainer DX. For people who plan to buy a bunch of games, I’d recommend spending an extra $30 to get the 256 GB version, which recently got a permanent $70 price cut.

Alternativly, you could save $50 by buying a Meta 128GB model. It’s in like-new condition and comes with a one-year warranty, just like a new model does. The difference is that I don’t think you’ll get the two complimentary games mentioned above.
