Oculus Quest 2 is Officially More Popular than Original Quest

In a look back at 2020, Facebook Reality Lab’s head Andrew Bosworth revealed that Quest 2 quietly celebrated a few new milestones shortly after its October 13th launch. In the blogpost, Bosworth says that despite the need for social distancing in 2020, it has actually been a pretty great year for the company in terms of growing virtual reality. “VR had a tremendous year. Oculus Quest 2 is our fastest-growing VR headset, thanks to the convergence of leading VR form factors and the content built by our developer community.” Bosworth did not mention any hard figures, but he said that Quest 2 “surpassed the original Quest’s monthly active people in less than 7 weeks,” which is an impressive achievement for these VR goggles – a VR headset that VR Bangers highly recommend for VR porn movies. According to editors from Road to VR, a Facebook spokesperson said that this is based on concurrent measurements between the two headsets – however Quest 2 has also since surpassed Quest 1’s record-high number of monthly active users, the company said. Considering the original Quest managed to generate $150 million of revenue in apps and games sales – calculated after its 2019 launch until shortly before Quest 2 was released – there is no telling what Quest 2 will be able to accomplish in the same time frame. Additionally, Bosworth said there are now more women using Quest 2 than any of their previous headsets – which Facebook says is based on overall percentage, not simply a raw number.

Granted, it has been a captured market, with stay-at-home orders affecting many people, however, Bosworth says the company is also focusing on providing work-from-home solutions to help fill in the obvious gaps. “This is the year we take steps to make immersive experiences more social with Facebook Horizon,” he said, referring to the company’s still in-beta social VR platform. “And as the office concept evolves, we’re building out our capacity for meaningful social presence in virtual workspaces.” What does 2021 hold for Facebook? Outside of eventually releasing Horizon for regular users – it is hard to tell. We know the company is gearing up to one day deliver AR glasses thanks to its research done via Project Aria, a sensor-rich pair of glasses that the company will use to train its AR perception systems and assess public perception of the technology. That is not likely happening any time soon though, so we are interested to see just where the company goes in the meantime. If you are not using Oculus Quest 2 to watch VR Bangers' VR porn movies, we highly recommend giving them a try, as these standalone VR goggles are really great (we told you more about them over here).
