Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Quest 3 Takes the Reigns

Meta has officially discontinued its high-end VR headset, the Meta Quest Pro. The company's website now reflects its unavailability, confirming earlier announcements about the product's impending end-of-life. Supplies were expected to dwindle by early 2025, and it seems that time has arrived.

The Quest Pro's high price tag of $1499.99 proved to be a major hurdle, significantly impacting its market penetration compared to the more affordable Meta Quest series (ranging from $299.99 to $499.99). This pricing hindered both consumer and corporate adoption, ultimately leading to its discontinuation.

While a few remaining units might still be found in retail stores, Meta directs potential buyers towards its successor, the Meta Quest 3, described as the "ultimate mixed reality experience."

Meta Quest 3: A Worthy Successor

The Meta Quest 3 offers a compelling alternative, boasting several improvements over its predecessor at a considerably lower price point of $499. Like the Quest Pro, it emphasizes mixed reality capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly blend virtual and real-world environments.

Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several key areas. It's lighter, features higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more immersive and comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers remain compatible with the Quest 3. For budget-conscious consumers, the Meta Quest 3S provides a more affordable entry point at $299.99, albeit with slightly reduced specifications.
