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 expensive than the standard Meta Quest line ($299.99 - $499.99), hindered its adoption by both consumers and businesses.
Remaining stock has now sold out, leaving the Meta Quest 3 as the recommended alternative. Meta promotes the Quest 3 as the "ultimate mixed reality experience," offering superior specs at a lower price. While some units might still exist in retail stores, availability is dwindling.
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, allowing users to overlay virtual displays onto the real world. However, it surpasses the Pro in several key areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, resulting in a potentially more comfortable and immersive experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3.
Budget-conscious users can also consider the Meta Quest 2S, a more affordable option with slightly reduced specs.
