Is the hardware enough to justify the price and make it a tempting option for fans of VR? Well…ĭespite sharing the same Quest brand, the Quest 2 and Quest Pro are entirely different beasts, and that’s evident from the look and feel of Meta’s new high-end headset. The problem is, surprisingly for Meta, a lack of apps to take advantage of the tech, even several months after its initial launch. There’s also face and eye-tracking tech that should be a real boon to social interactions in virtual worlds. It’s also an entirely different beast to the Quest 2 in that it focuses as much on AR as it does VR, complete with colour passthrough and improved hand-tracking capabilities to power the augmented experience on offer. It’s still an expensive headset then, but one that’s now slightly more tempting than it was at launch. In fact, the Meta Quest Pro launched at an eye-watering £1499/$1499 back in October 2022, though following what I can only assume were underwhelming sales, the company permanently reduced the price to £999/$999 in March 2023. The Meta Quest Pro represents the pinnacle of Meta’s VR collection, offering better performance and more advanced capabilities than the popular Quest 2 – though it’s also much pricier than the relatively affordable standalone headset.
