Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2 standalone virtual reality headset will arrive October 13. And Facebook and its VR developer partners have made sure that a bunch of new games will arrive at the same time, making a bunch of announcements today at Facebook Connect.

With the $80 Oculus Link cable, the Quest 2 can run games that would normally require a Rift headset with a PC. This means Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond will work on the Quest 2. This strategy will enable Facebook to give players a wider library at launch. On top of that, there are already hundreds of titles available on the Oculus Quest, and Quest 2 will play those games as well.
