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), hindered its adoption by both consumers and businesses.
Remaining units have sold out, leaving the Meta Quest 3 as the suggested alternative. The website promotes the Quest 3 as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While some retailers might still have leftover stock, finding a Quest Pro is increasingly unlikely.
Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Worthy Successor
The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable features to the Quest Pro, but at a significantly lower price ($499). Like its predecessor, it emphasizes mixed reality, allowing users to overlay virtual displays onto the real world.
In several aspects, the Quest 3 boasts superior specifications. It's lighter, features higher resolution and refresh rate, potentially leading to a more comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3. For budget-conscious users, the Meta Quest 3S offers a more affordable option ($299.99) with slightly reduced specifications.
