Meta has announced that the price of its Meta Quest 2 VR headset is going up by $100. In addition, the price of Meta Quest 2 accessories and refurbished units will also increase.
We’ve been all-in on VR since the early days of PC and mobile, all the way through to today’s premium standalone 6DOF headsets—and we’ve invested billions of dollars to help nurture a thriving VR ecosystem. Now, we’re making a change that will help us continue to invest for the long term and keep driving the VR industry forward with best-in-class hardware, action-packed games, and cutting-edge research on the path to truly next-gen devices. Starting in August, Meta Quest 2 will cost $399.99 USD and $499.99 USD for the 128GB and 256GB versions respectively. And for a limited time, every new headset purchase will include an offer to download the popular VR rhythm game Beat Saber at no additional cost. Alongside these changes, we’ll also increase the prices for Meta Quest 2 accessories and refurbished units.
The price increase is due to rising costs to make and ship the headset. If you were planning to purchase one, you should do so now. You may still be able to grab the 128GB version for $299.99 or the 256GB version for $399.99.
Apple is rumored to be release its own mixed reality headset shortly. That device is expected to be a game changer for the industry; however, it could cost upwards of $2000.
