Meta Discontinues Sales of Quest Pro

Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Meta Quest 3 Recommended

Meta has officially discontinued the Meta Quest Pro VR headset. The company's website now reflects its unavailability, confirming earlier announcements of its impending end-of-life. Supplies were expected to dwindle by early 2025, and now the headset is completely sold out.

The high price point of $1,499.99 significantly hampered the Quest Pro's adoption, both among consumers and businesses. This contrasts sharply with the more affordable Meta Quest line, ranging from $299.99 to $499.99.

Meta directs potential buyers to the Meta Quest 3, touted as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While a few remaining Quest Pro units might exist in retail stores, finding one is increasingly unlikely.

Meta Quest 3: A Superior Alternative

The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable functionality to the Quest Pro but at a significantly lower price of $499. It shares the focus on mixed reality, allowing users to overlay virtual content onto the real world.

Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several areas: 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, offers a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications.
