Meta Stops Selling Quest Pro VR Headset

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

Meta has officially discontinued the Meta Quest Pro VR headset. The company's website now reflects its unavailability, confirming earlier announcements predicting its demise by early 2025. While some remaining units might linger on retail shelves, prospective buyers should act quickly.

The Quest Pro's high price tag ($1,499.99) significantly hampered its adoption, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest line ($299.99 - $499.99). This price point proved prohibitive for most consumers and failed to attract the anticipated corporate market share.

Meta recommends the Meta Quest 3 as a superior replacement, boasting an "ultimate mixed reality experience" at a considerably lower cost.

Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Worthy Successor

The Meta Quest 3 offers many of the Quest Pro's features at a more accessible price point ($499). Both headsets emphasize mixed reality, allowing users to blend virtual and real-world interactions. However, the Quest 3 surpasses the Pro in several key areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, leading to a potentially 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 Meta Quest 3S, a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications, starting at $299.99.
