Meta has officially stopped selling the Quest Pro, just over two months after it was discontinued.
The $999 high-end VR headset’s product page now states that it is “no longer available” and directs users to consider the Meta Quest 3 instead.
Despite being marketed as a premium device with improved internals and new features over the Quest 2, the Quest Pro struggled to make an impact.
It was criticized for being heavy, expensive, and not offering significantly better displays, making it a hard sell in the VR market.
While Meta has pulled the Quest Pro from shelves, it is still selling the Quest Pro’s Touch Pro controllers, which are compatible with the Quest 2 and Quest 3 (but not the Quest 3S).
The Quest Pro’s failure highlights the challenges in getting high-end VR devices to resonate with consumers, as even Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro has faced a lukewarm reception.
