Amazon Prime Day VR deals 2023: all the remaining deals
Amazon Prime Day VR deals have wrapped up, but you can still make a saving
Amazon Prime Day has now concluded, but even though we've hit the end of the sales period, there's still plenty of brilliant VR headset deals to shop for across both the US and UK. Some of the best VR headsets have seen a significant drop in price (and have been part of numerous sales events) since last year's Prime Day, and you've still got a short amount of time to cash out.
The best headset to shop for in the US and UK is still the Meta Quest 2. Meta's phenomenal standalone headset has now dropped back to its original retail price of $299 / £299 for the 128GB variant. That means any discounts will make the popular standalone VR headset cheaper than it's ever been.
We've also seen the launch of the Meta Quest Plus subscription service, offering two hand-picked titles per month for $7.99 / £7.99. That'll help new buyers begin to shore up a collection of the best VR games available to download and play. We'll also be pointing you in the direction of deals on the Meta Quest Pro and PSVR 2 headsets. While there's some small discounts for the former, savings on the latter will be tough to come by outside of bundles.

Amazon Prime Day VR deals: FAQs
Is Prime Day over 2023?
Amazon Prime Day begins on July 11, and ran until the midnight of July 12, so the sales even is now concluded. Even though the primary sales period has ended, we expect a few deals might still appear long after the official end date. Similarly, Meta, Valve, Pico and other VR creators may host their own sales beyond the retail giant. So it's always worth checking their official sites if Amazon doesn't deliver.
Do I need to be an Amazon Prime member for the Prime Day VR deals?
Yes, you will need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to take part in the upcoming Amazon Prime Day VR deals. Fortunately, for prospective subscribers, a 30-day free trial is available, which means you can try the service out at no additional charge.
Interested in consoles instead of VR deals following Amazon Prime Day? Have a look at our Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals guide. Or if you're after another brand entirely, we have Amazon Prime Day Xbox Series X deals and Prime Day PS5 deals guides.
