Meta stops selling the Quest Pro

Meta has stopped selling the Quest Pro, UploadVR spotted. The news comes just over two months since the company discontinued the high-end VR headset. Meta wrote then that it would keep selling the headset until year’s end or until it ran out of stock, whichever came first. I guess it didn’t sell out.

The $999 headset’s product page now says the “Meta Quest Pro is no longer available” and encourages users to consider the Meta Quest 3 instead, which we liked more than its upscale sibling. UploadVR notes that the company is still selling the Quest Pro’s Touch Pro controllers, which work with the Quest 2 and up.

VR headsets have struggled to go mainstream, especially at the high end. The $3,500 Vision Pro has improved since we gave it a relatively lackluster review but still hasn’t caught on in a big way. Apple reportedly cut back on manufacturing it in October. The Quest Pro started at a cheap-by-comparison $1,499, but it made a far worse impression at launch — packed better internals than the Quest 2 and some fancy new features the older headset lacked, but it was also heavy, expensive, and didn’t have much better displays.
