The Meta Quest Pro has officially been discontinued. Meta's website confirms its unavailability, following earlier announcements of its impending end-of-life. Limited stock may remain at select retailers, but availability is dwindling.
The high price point of $1499.99 significantly hampered the Quest Pro's market penetration, unlike the more affordable standard Meta Quest line ($299.99 - $499.99). This lack of consumer and corporate adoption led to its discontinuation.
Meta recommends the Meta Quest 3 as a superior alternative, boasting a "ultimate mixed reality experience" at a significantly lower price.
Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Worthy Successor:
The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable functionality to the Quest Pro, but at a more accessible $499 price point. It shares the focus on mixed reality, allowing users to blend virtual and real-world environments. Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several areas: it's lighter, features higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more immersive 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 at $299.99, albeit with slightly reduced specifications.
