Meta Stops Selling Quest Pro VR Headset

Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Quest 3 Recommended as Superior Alternative

Meta has officially discontinued the Meta Quest Pro VR headset, as announced on its website. The decision follows earlier predictions that supplies would deplete by early 2025. While the Meta Quest Pro line enjoyed some success, its high price point ($1,499.99) hindered widespread adoption, both among consumers and businesses. This contrasts sharply with the more affordable Meta Quest line, ranging from $299.99 to $499.99.

Remaining Meta Quest Pro units are now sold out on the official store, which redirects potential buyers to the Meta Quest 3, described as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While some retail stores might still have stock, availability is expected to dwindle quickly.

The 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, it emphasizes mixed reality, overlaying virtual elements onto the real world for enhanced interaction. In several key areas, the Quest 3 actually surpasses the Quest Pro. It's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more immersive experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3. For budget-conscious users, the Meta Quest 2S, starting at $299.99, provides a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications.
