Meta has officially discontinued Quest Pro, the company’s first mixed reality headset.

Meta announced back in September that it was winding down Quest 2 and Quest Pro sales. At the time, the company said remaining stock would be sold through the end of the year or until they ran out, whichever came first.

Now, in place of the Quest Pro order page, Meta is suggesting users to buy Quest 3 “for the ultimate mixed reality experience and premium comfort.” You can still buy Quest Pro’s ‘Touch Pro’ controllers however, as they support Quest 2 and above.

Released in 2022 at the eye-water price of $1,500, Meta hoped to use the headset to kickstart its mixed reality ambitions among consumers, as it was the first to offer color-passthrough, pancake lenses, and both face and eye-tracking—coming in strong contrast to the company’s other offering at the time, Quest 2.

    The quest pro could have been so much more if they just worked with all it’s strength more. What a waste. It’s still a great headset but it feels like they broke both of it’s knees to make sure it never stands. Like they didn’t want it to succeed.

      The Quest Pro is my current headset. With their software updates the thing has been broken on and off from day 1. They will make the controllers so they over heat then fix it and then break it again. The headset will start crashing when you use pass through or you will get sparkles in your pcvr stream. It has been a mess. Even with all that nothing in it’s price range comes close to how good it looks in PCVR. I am so ready for a new headset. I hope this is the year.

        I remember you saying it and it’s also my main pcvr headset lol i was just thinking that when the deckard comes out i might still use the quest pro as my main work monitor replacement and sell my quest 2 and maybe my legion go as well since it might do everything that i have these devices for.

          I really wish Valve would show up to CES and rock the place, but I really have no idea if they will even release the Deckard.
