Oculus' next-generation Quest and Rift S headsets will go on sale on May 21 in 22 countries.

Oculus is finally ready to deliver its next generation of VR headsets. Both the independent Oculus Quest and the PC-dependent Oculus Rift S will be available for purchase on May 21 in 22 countries, with advance orders starting today. Amazon, Best Buy, Microsoft and Walmart are among the points of sale that carry both devices. The Rift S is available in a single cut of $ 399, while the Quest starts at $ 399 for a version with 64 GB of built-in storage and $ 499 for 128 GB of space.

No matter which handset you choose, the main attraction is integrated tracking at room scale: you do not need external equipment to go through virtual spaces immersively. Things diverge after that, of course. The Quest is a completely wireless and independent handset for those who wish to exchange energy is using a mobile CPU for a lower overall cost and freedom of movement. The Rift S, meanwhile, is a kind of side step for PC-based virtual reality fans. It has higher resolution screens than the original Rift, as well as a wider field of view, but uses LCD screens instead of OLED screens and uses a lower 80Hz refresh rate. You are more likely to buy the Rift S as a newcomer to virtual reality than a veteran who upgrades from an existing handset.
