We like: More affordable for an all-in-one headset 

Watch out for: Lower resolution than Meta Quest 3

The Meta Quest 3S is a mixed-reality headset that runs on the same processor as the Quest 3 but with a lower-resolution display, so visuals aren’t quite as sharp. 

It supports hand tracking but is mainly designed to be used with its Touch Plus controllers. With 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, it offers similar performance to the Quest 3 at a lower price, making it one of the more affordable ways to try virtual reality.

We like: Comes with pair of earpieces 

Watch out for: It works only with a PlayStation 5 console

The PlayStation VR2 is Sony’s virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 5. It connects with a single USB-C cable and has an OLED display with 4K resolution for detailed visuals. 

Built-in cameras track movement and eye position, while the Sense controllers include vibration feedback. The headset doesn’t have its own storage, as games and data run directly from the PS5.  

Apple Vision Pro

*Average price in the past six months: £3,199. Cheapest price in the past six months: £3,199 

Buy directly from Apple.

• 256GB, 512GB or 1TB storage

• 600g

We like: Hands-free control 

Watch out for: Very expensive compared to other options

The Apple Vision Pro is a mixed-reality headset built around what Apple calls spatial computing, designed more for work and media than gaming. 

It runs on Apple’s M2 and R1 chips and comes with 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage. The headset tracks your eyes and hands, so you control it by looking, tapping or gesturing rather than using controllers. It works on its own but can connect wirelessly to a Mac for extra functionality.

The Pico 4 Ultra is a standalone VR headset that runs without a PC or console. 

It offers clear visuals and built-in cameras so you can move between virtual and mixed-reality experiences. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, it is designed for everyday VR use. 

However, Pico isn’t as well-known as Meta or Sony, and its app store is smaller, so you’ll find fewer games and updates.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday 2025 falls on Friday 28 November.

It’s when many UK retailers launch some of their biggest discounts of the year, with sales often starting early and continuing through the weekend to Cyber Monday on 1 December.

If you’re planning to buy a VR headset, start tracking prices in early November so you’ll know when a deal is genuine. For more shopping advice and the latest offers, visit our Black Friday deals hub.

How do I find the best VR deal this Black Friday?

Finding a genuine VR headset deal can take a bit of research, but a few quick checks can help you avoid overpaying or ending up with old stock.

• Compare prices early: start tracking prices in early November so you know what a good deal looks like once Black Friday begins. Use price-tracking sites such as PriceSpy or CamelCamelCamel to see if the discount is real or just inflated for the sale.
• Buy from trusted retailers: stick to well-known retailers such as Amazon, Argos, Currys or John Lewis. Be wary of third-party sellers with no reviews or vague listings, especially on marketplaces. Check that the headset is new, not refurbished, and comes with a valid warranty.
• Look for bundles: some retailers offer VR headsets with free accessories, gift cards or games — these can sometimes be better value than a standalone discount.
• Check compatibility: before buying, make sure the headset works with your setup. For example, the PlayStation VR2 only works with a PS5, while Meta’s Quest 3 is a standalone device.
• Watch for older models: you might see cheaper prices on older headsets like the Meta Quest 2 or original PSVR, but these are being phased out. Check how long they’ll continue to get software and security updates.
