What was the original name of Meta Quest 2 when it launched in 2020?

The headset now called Meta Quest 2 originally launched in 2020 as the Oculus Quest 2.

Facebook introduced Oculus Quest 2 in September 2020 as the successor to the original Oculus Quest. It was a standalone headset, meaning it could run many VR experiences without being connected to a computer, while also supporting PC VR through a compatible connection.

The product’s branding changed after Facebook rebranded its corporate identity as Meta in 2021. The hardware is therefore commonly described by both names: Oculus Quest 2 for its launch-era identity and Meta Quest 2 for its later branding.

It should not be confused with Oculus Rift, which was primarily a PC-based headset, or Oculus Go, an earlier standalone device with more limited interaction. The name change did not create a wholly new second-generation product; it was a rebranding of the same headset.
