Oculus Go Now Available: Our Best Optics in Our First Standalone VR Headset

The new Oculus Go, the first independent virtual reality glasses with great image quality and a truly affordable price, are launched on the market.

Today we are excited to announce that Oculus Go is now available through oculus.com in 23 countries. Now you can free yourself from the limitations of traditional 2D screens to enjoy your favorite content, improve your gameplay and have fun with your friends, no matter where they are. Oculus Go gives you all this and much more, in a convenient standalone headset with a very attractive size and price that will totally change the rules of consumer VR.

Our first standalone Oculus Go VR headset is the easiest way to get into VR. With a LCD screen with WQHD resolution 2.560 x 1.440, 538PPI and fast-switch LCD screen, we offer the best optics for any virtual reality system developed by our company and at the best price. The Oculus Go is available starting at € 219 for the 32GB storage model (or € 269 for the 64GB model) and has been designed to provide maximum user convenience.

Special built-in audio and a built-in microphone allow for maximum immersion from the first time it is used, and the weight of the visor, elastic straps and facial interface have been optimized to provide the best possible feel and fit. And since there's no need to insert a phone or use a PC, it's now easier than ever to enjoy VR with friends.

Welcome to Oculus Go

Virtual reality allows us to explore new places, get in touch with other people, and broaden our perspectives on the world around us. In addition to this, it reduces distances and broadens our horizons. When you use virtual reality, you can do the impossible. And thanks to Oculus Go, you can enjoy these experiences at home, regardless of the phone or computer you use. This is the power of virtual reality - the freedom it offers you.

As more developers and content creators begin to incorporate these capabilities across platforms to enhance their experiences, we will see a larger and more dynamic virtual reality community. We are truly fortunate to be able to collaborate with this community, with the support of all of you.
