New Delhi : The Quest 2 mixed reality (MR) headset and its accessories will now be less expensive, according to a Meta announcement.
The reduction in price occurred following the release of Meta Quest 3, which was priced at $499.99 for the 128GB version, nearly three months prior.
“We were aware that there was more we could do to lower the cost of VR and increase the number of community members. As a result, starting on January 1, we’re permanently cutting the price of Quest 2 and its accessories,” the company said in a statement.
Customers can now purchase the 256GB Quest 2 for $299.99, while the 128GB Quest 2 will cost $249.99.
“Our refurbished units will also drop in price, down to $229.99 and $269.99 for the refurbished 128GB and 256GB Quest 2 SKUs, respectively,” said the company.
Meta has also lowered prices on Quest 2 accessories.
“Much like Quest 3 made waves as the first mass-market mixed reality headset to hit shelves, Quest 2 paved the way by ushering VR into the mainstream,” said Meta.
Meta’s content ecosystem offers more than 500 titles, including the recent hit Asgard’s Wrath 2.
The company in September launched a new MR headset called Quest 3 with a 30 per cent enhancement in visual resolution and 40 per cent louder audio range than Quest 2.
