Meta CTO says Quest 2 will continue receiving support for years

And then there’s the new Batman: Arkham Shadow and Alien: Rogue Incursion games. Both of which will not be released for Meta Quest 2 or Quest Pro. All of this points to the Quest 2 nearing its end, and soon new Quest 2 headsets will not be available for purchase. But Bosworth promises that new Quest 2 owners will not be left behind.

The Meta Quest 2 is a brilliant headset but the Quest 3 surpassed it in every way possible. And the recent trend of game developers releasing their games only on Quest 3 means it’s time to upgrade.

But not everyone can or is willing to shell out $500 for a VR headset. Fortunately, Meta reportedly seems to acknowledge this. There have been rumors for a few weeks now of a supposed Meta Quest 3 Lite.

If these rumors are true we could be looking at a cheaper variant of the Quest 3. It might have a lower resolution display or less software features to cut down on cost. And it would serve as an entry-level headset for the XR market.

No one can say for certain how much longer Quest 2 stock is going to last. And honestly, if you’re enthusiastic about VR, I’d advise against getting a Quest 2 in general because of dwindling support from developers.

If you’re on a tight budget you should wait to see if a Quest 3 Lite is indeed coming out. Or perhaps our list of the best VR headsets has something that catches your fancy.
