Meta has been dropping hints about a new VR headset, and rumors regarding the Quest 3 suggest it will be a high-performance device that won't break the bank.
Meta last launched a low-cost VR headset, the Quest 2, in 2020. A next-gen headset has been confirmed for 2023, and it’s almost guaranteed to be called the Quest 3.
Quest 3 price and availability Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggested in a Stratechery interview that the company’s next VR headset will be priced at $300 to $500. The aging Quest 2 has been promised a long life even in 2024, which could result in three Quest headsets in the Meta store. Something all of these 2023 VR headsets have in common is a price tag of $1,000 or more. That might make a Quest 3 priced at over $400 easier to accept.
Pancake lenses are also thinner and lighter than Fresnel lenses, suggesting the Quest 3 will be less bulky than the Quest 2. The Quest Pro’s open sides provide more safety when moving around, but can detract from immersion while gaming. Meta includes partial light blockers, and a full light shield is available separately. That approach might work better for its productivity headset than as a gaming-first solution.
The Qualcomm processor used in the Quest Pro is the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 1, a slightly faster version of the Quest 2’s XR2 chip. That complicated name implies a Gen 2 is coming next, and indeed, the consensus is that the Quest 3 will be powered by a much-improved Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip based on Qualcomm’s powerful smartphone chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 architecture.
