Meta Discontinues Quest Pro VR Headset

The Meta Quest Pro has been officially discontinued. Meta's website now reflects its unavailability. This follows earlier announcements predicting the end of production, with stock expected to deplete by early 2025. The high price point of $1499.99, significantly more expensive than the standard Meta Quest line ($299.99-$499.99), hindered its adoption by both consumers and businesses.

While some remaining units might be found in retail stores, availability is dwindling rapidly. Meta recommends the Meta Quest 3 as a superior alternative, offering a compelling "ultimate mixed reality experience" at a significantly lower price.

Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Worthy Successor

The Meta Quest 3 boasts many of the Quest Pro's features, including mixed reality capabilities (overlaying virtual elements onto the real world), but at a more accessible $499 price point. In fact, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several key specifications: it's lighter, offers 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, offers a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications.
