Meta Stops Selling Quest Pro VR Headset

Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Quest 3 Takes the Reins

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 its demise by early 2025. While some remaining units might still be found in retail stores, availability is dwindling rapidly.

The Quest Pro's high price tag ($1499.99) proved a significant barrier to widespread adoption, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest series (ranging from $299.99 to $499.99). This lack of market penetration led to the product's discontinuation.

Meta recommends the Meta Quest 3 as a superior alternative. Boasting a compelling mixed reality experience, the Quest 3 offers higher resolution, a faster refresh rate, and a more powerful processor, all at a significantly lower price point of $499.

Why Choose the Quest 3 Over the Discontinued Pro?

The Quest 3 shares many of the Quest Pro's features, including mixed reality capabilities allowing users to blend virtual and real-world environments. However, it surpasses its predecessor in several key areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, creating a potentially more immersive and comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3.

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