Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Quest 3 Takes the Helm
Meta has officially discontinued its high-end VR headset, the Meta Quest Pro. The company's website now reflects the product's unavailability, confirming earlier announcements about its eventual phase-out. This follows a relatively short lifespan for the device, largely attributed to its high $1499.99 price tag, making it inaccessible to most consumers and failing to attract the anticipated corporate market.
With remaining stock depleted, Meta directs potential buyers towards the Meta Quest 3, touted as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While some retailers might still have leftover Quest Pro units, finding one is increasingly unlikely.
The Quest 3: A Superior, More Affordable Alternative
The Meta Quest 3 offers a compelling alternative, boasting enhanced features at a significantly lower price point of $499. Sharing the Quest Pro's focus on mixed reality, the Quest 3 surpasses its predecessor in several key areas. It features improved resolution, a faster refresh rate, and a lighter design for a more comfortable user experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are fully 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.
