The Meta Quest Pro is officially discontinued. Meta's website confirms its unavailability, following earlier announcements predicting depleted stock by early 2025. High pricing ($1499.99) hindered its adoption, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest line ($299.99-$499.99). Consequently, remaining units are sold out.
Meta recommends the Meta Quest 3 as a superior alternative, boasting a "ultimate mixed reality experience" at a significantly lower price point. While some retail stores might still have leftover Quest Pro units, availability is dwindling rapidly.
Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Worthy Successor
The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable features to the Quest Pro, but at a much more accessible $499 price tag. It shares the focus on mixed reality, allowing users to blend virtual and real-world environments. Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Pro in several key areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3. For budget-conscious consumers, the lower-spec, more affordable Meta Quest 3S ($299.99) is also available.
