Meta Cancels Quest Pro 2 Development, Quest 3 to Take Over
Meta has invested heavily in Augmented Reality (AR) devices, such as its Quest and Quest Pro devices. However, it seems like the company has received mixed feedback from the community on its AR headsets, most notably on the higher end. Meta's Quest Pro device was launched on October 25, 2022. According to The Information, Quest Pro will be manufactured as long as the supplies last at manufacturing facilities, and Meta will not order any new material for it. Additionally, Quest Pro 2, the second-generation Quest Pro, will not be released as the company has canceled its development. This is not to be confused with the regular Quest, which is still in active development.
Meta's upcoming Quest 3 will even beat the Quest Pro with its specifications, targeting lower price points and a wider audience. Quest 3 will feature a higher resolution, depth sensor, and two 4MP cameras instead of the one on Quest Pro. Logically, Quest 3 is the obvious upgrade and will cost less than $1000, unlike Quest Pro, which debuted with a $1500 price tag.
