Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Meta Quest 3 Takes the Reins
Meta has officially discontinued its high-end VR headset, the Meta Quest Pro. The announcement, reflected on the official website, confirms the end of the product line, with remaining stock expected to be depleted soon. The decision comes as no surprise, given the Quest Pro's high price point of $1,499.99, significantly impacting its market penetration compared to the more affordable Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3.
The Quest Pro's higher price hindered widespread adoption by both consumers and businesses. While Meta's VR headsets have generally been successful, the Quest Pro failed to achieve the expected sales figures. Consequently, remaining units are now sold out on Meta's online store.
The company directs potential buyers towards the Meta Quest 3, described as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." Although some retailers might still have leftover Quest Pro units, finding one is increasingly unlikely.
Meta Quest 3: A Worthy Successor
The Meta Quest 3 offers a compelling alternative, boasting many of the Quest Pro's features at a significantly lower price ($499). Like its predecessor, the Quest 3 emphasizes mixed reality capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly blend virtual and real-world environments.
Interestingly, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several technical aspects. It's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a potentially more comfortable and immersive experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3. For budget-conscious users, the Meta Quest 2S provides a more affordable option, starting at $299.99, albeit with slightly reduced specifications.
