The Meta Quest Pro is officially discontinued. Meta's website confirms its unavailability, ending speculation following earlier announcements of its impending demise. The high price point of $1499.99, significantly more than the standard Meta Quest line ($299.99-$499.99), hampered its adoption by both consumers and businesses. Remaining stock has now sold out.
Meta recommends the Meta Quest 3 as a superior alternative, boasting a "ultimate mixed reality experience" at a considerably lower price. While some remaining Meta Quest Pro units might exist in retail stores, availability is dwindling.
Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Worthy Successor
The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable functionality to the Quest Pro, but at a much more accessible $499 price point. It also features enhanced mixed reality capabilities, allowing users to blend virtual and real-world environments. Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several key areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a 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, starting at $299.99, provides a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications.
