VR is getting more and more popular every year in both the gaming and mainstream spaces. A lot more VR-exclusive games are coming out, they're getting easier to set up, and most importantly, they're becoming way more affordable.

The HTC VIVE Cosmos may not be the most budget-friendly VR headset out there — that title belongs to the Oculus Quest 2 — but at least it won't require you to make a Facebook account to use it, and it still serves as a great starting point for VR newbies. Also, it's on sale for $100 off at Amazon for a limited time.
