Standalone vs. PCVR: Which Fanatical VR Bundle is Right For You?

Merry Christmas! If you just unwrapped a new VR headset today, you’re probably looking for games to fill your library. I’ve found two incredible “Build Your Own” bundles at Fanatical, but they are very different in terms of the hardware you need.

The Big Difference: Hardware Matters

Before you buy, you need to know which “type” of VR gamer you are:

  • Quest VR Bundle (Standalone): These keys are for the Meta Quest Store. You redeem them on your headset or phone. No PC is required. This is the “plug and play” option.
  • Hyper VR Bundle (PCVR): These are Steam keys. To play these, you must have a VR-ready Gaming PC connected to your headset (via Link Cable, Air Link, or Steam Link).

Price & Savings Comparison

I’ve crunched the numbers to show you the value vs. buying these games individually on Steam during the Winter Sale.

Option A: The Quest VR Winter Bundle (Standalone)

Best for: New Quest 3/3S owners who want total portability.

Game TitleSteam Sale PriceFanatical Price (7-Tier)Your Savings
Hellsweeper VR$11.89$8.50$3.39
7th Guest VR$11.99$8.50$3.49
Contractors Showdown$13.99$8.50$5.49
TOTAL$37.87$25.50$12.37

Option B: The Hyper VR Bundle (PCVR/Steam)

Best for: PC gamers who want the highest possible graphics.

Game TitleSteam Sale PriceFanatical Price (7-Tier)Your Savings
The Light Brigade$14.99$2.85$12.14
Wolfenstein & Doom Pack$11.98$2.85$9.13
After the Fall (Deluxe)$10.49$2.85$7.64
TOTAL$37.46$8.55$28.91

My Recommendation

If you have a Gaming PC, the Hyper VR Bundle is a historical steal at under $3 per game. However, if you want the convenience of playing anywhere without wires, the Quest VR Bundle is the way to go.

Why not both? If you buy the top tier of each, you could walk away with 14 top-tier VR games for less than the price of one new AAA release!
