The Meta quest Pro is dead. Or at least that is what has been reported by tech insider magazine the information. According to them meta let its suppliers know earlier this year that they will not be ordering new components for the quest pro. And consequentially manufacturer goertek will be left only building quest pro headsets with the remaining materials they have left. 

This means the quest pro will be discontinued and probably become a one off tech product you’ll see in a museum 30 years from now. To go along with this it is reported that meta also has stopped developing for the second gen quest pro. Meta wants to concentrate more on consumer headsets like the recently announced quest 3.

If I had to guess I would bet the meta pro didn’t sell very well at all, so they dropped the price from 1500 to a thousand in just 3 months on the market and that still probably didn’t create a good enough  demand for it and then Apple comes out with its pro higher end Vision Pro that melts the quest pro into a puddle of plastic. Which makes me believe knowing all of this Meta decided to move up their time table for the quest 3 announcement and quietly begin shunning the ole quest pro.  

Just looking at the numbers you see the quest 3 will have a higher resolution than the pro, the same pancake lenses as the pro, two rgb cameras instead of one and the depth sensor which we never saw come to fruition with the pro. 

The quest pro was a good experiment and definitely pushed vr forward in some ways but the quest 3 definitely has my eye for the future. Did you pick up a quest pro? Let me know in the comments and how do you feel knowing its discontinued?
