Quest Pro VR Headset Discontinued by Meta

Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Meta Quest 3 Takes the Helm

Meta has officially discontinued its high-end VR headset, the Meta Quest Pro. The company's website now reflects its unavailability, confirming earlier announcements predicting depleted stock by early 2025.

Despite Meta's overall VR success, the Quest Pro's high price tag ($1499.99) hampered its adoption by both consumers and businesses. This contrasts sharply with the more affordable Meta Quest line (ranging from $299.99 to $499.99). Consequently, remaining units have now sold out.

Meta directs potential buyers to its successor, the Meta Quest 3, boasting it as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While some retailers might still have leftover Quest Pro units, finding one is increasingly unlikely.

The Meta Quest 3: A Worthy Successor

The Meta Quest 3 offers many Quest Pro features at a significantly lower price ($499). Like its predecessor, it prioritizes mixed reality, enabling users to overlay virtual elements onto the real world.

Interestingly, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several technical aspects. It's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more comfortable and immersive experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3. Budget-conscious users can also explore the more affordable Meta Quest 2S, starting at $299.99, albeit with slightly reduced specifications.
