Which headset do you plan on buying and is there a release date for 7th guest already? Also, if you buy a quest, will you play standalone or via link?

I'll probably get a Quest 2 (unless maybe Valve releases the Index 2 in time? lol), playing with link cable (RTX 2080).

Although I might speedrun the game (I did speedrun the original T7G) so I might end up playing both with and without the link cable

T7G VR doesn't have a release date yet, maybe October?

I don’t know about an Index 2, but Quest 3 will likely come out sometime in October. It’s probably worth waiting for that, to either get the Q2 cheaper or a more comfortable and more capable Q3.

does the Quest 3 offer much improvement when linked to PC? I thought it was quite a bit more expensive but the screen isn't much better just the SoC

definitely waiting anyways though

It’s all still rumors obvsl, but from what I‘ve heard, I think these would be relevant even for link:

  • 30% higher resolution
  • color passthrough (not for games but for looking around without taking it off)
  • 40% slimmer (same weight but still a lot more comfortable due to it being a lot closer to your head, Q2 can be quite wobbly when you turn)
  • better IPD adjustment (eye distance)
  • controllers without a tracking ring (can be annoying)
  • Wifi 6e (which could depending on your setup help with playing PCVR wirelessly)

But yes, it’s supposed to be more expensive and a Q2 will be just fine
