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.

The Quest Pro's high price tag of $1499.99 significantly hampered its market penetration, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest line (ranging from $299.99 to $499.99). This pricing proved prohibitive for most consumers and failed to attract the anticipated corporate interest.

While a few remaining units might linger on store shelves, potential buyers are advised to act quickly. Meta directs interested parties toward its successor, the Meta Quest 3, described as the "ultimate mixed reality experience."

Meta Quest 3: A Superior Alternative

The Meta Quest 3 offers many of the Quest Pro's features at a significantly lower price point of $499. Sharing the Pro's focus on mixed reality, it allows users to overlay virtual displays onto the real world, enabling interactive experiences.

Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses its predecessor in several key areas. It boasts a lighter design, higher resolution, and a faster refresh rate, promising a more immersive and comfortable VR experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3.

Budget-conscious users can also explore the Meta Quest 3S, a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications, starting at $299.99.
