The Meta Quest 2 is unique, not just because it's the only good standalone VR headset that you can buy, but because after almost a year and a half since it's release, it's still getting better.

While most devices like phones, laptops and TVs rarely get better after their initial release, the Quest 2's list of features just keeps growing.

Meta continually releases major updates, expanding the capabilities of both its hardware and software.

The full list of improvements is too long to include here, but compared to at launch, the Quest 2 supports 120 Hertz refresh rate in some games, delivering smoother visuals than before.

It can also natively connect to PC's wirelessly, making it possible to play games like "Half-Life Alyx" that aren't available on the Quest Store.

And if you're on iOS, you'll soon be able to export your VR fitness stats from the Oculus Move app over to the Apple Health app.

As an owner of one of these headsets, all of that change makes me happy that I bought one, and as someone who works for The Verge, that long-lasting support makes it easier for me to recommend to people, except for the part where you still need a Facebook account to set up one of these headsets.

Mark Zuckerberg said in late 2021 that there may be some changes to that requirement at some point, but it's still murky on when or if it will arrive.

The good news is that we don't expect this headset to be replaced anytime soon, so even though it's a year and a half old, it's still a worthwhile purchase.

Whether you're interested in getting a Quest 2 or you already have one, but need a few pointers, I'm gonna highlight some of the headset's most useful features and some accessories that might make your VR experience a little better.
