Meta Quest 2 the popular virtual reality (VR) headset has seen the price of the device fall below $200.<\/p>\n

The device has not seen a price dive since the holiday season when the Meta Quest 2 outperformed<\/a> Sony\u2019s Playstation VR headset in sales by thirty to one. During this festive period, Meta\u2019s portable headset was $250.<\/p>\n

Why has Meta Quest 2 dropped in price?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 have received favorable reviews in contrast to the expensive Apple Vision Pro equivalent, which was released last month at a $3,499 price point.<\/p>\n

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to Instagram to break down the Vision Pro<\/a>, saying \u201cQuest (2&3) I think is just a lot more comfortable. We designed it to be 120 grams lighter, which makes a really big difference on your face. There are no wires that get in the way when you move around. Our field of view is wider and I found our screen to be brighter also.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Quest 3 is still a lofty $300 more than the older version, but Quest 2 boasts PC connectivity, hand-tracking, and a whole host of games that can be accessed. The lower price point appeals to users who will want to dip their toes into the augmented reality world without a substantial monetary investment and are looking for solid specs on their first VR device.<\/p>\n

The price dip also sparks rumors of a possible new version of the Quest 3 around the corner, the Quest 3 Lite. Although information is scarce and Meta has not officially said anything about a possible lighter and cheaper option to the Quest 3, the decline in the Quest 2 in such a short space of time could be a sign of a new device entering the VR headset fray.<\/p>\n

Those hoping to pick up the popular headset can do so from major brands like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The larger 256 GB version of the headset has seen a limited stock since launch and with the Quest 3 being updated substantially it would be a very slim chance to see a restock hit stores brand new.<\/p>\n

The Quest 3 headset received a substantial update, as we reported<\/a> last month, version .62. New features like being able to record spatial video, and the three-dimensional capture of the environment around you, were an attempt by Meta to get ahead of the Vision Pro release.<\/p>\n

Users can upload straight from their iPhone to the Meta Quest app to view their recorded content without contesting Apple\u2019s divide in price points between the two brands.<\/p>\n

The Quest 3 also has controller support for those who like to use a physical device to take on adventures, but stream content through the headset as an alternative to the motion controllers or hand-tracking.<\/p>\n

Meta has a few alternatives to the Vision Pro without matching the Apple device\u2019s price point, but news of a more portable Lite version of the Quest 3 remains a rumor, unlike the deal for the 2020 Quest 2.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
