Meta has recently announced a permanent price reduction for its Quest 2 virtual reality headset following the launch of the Quest 3.
The cost of the 128GB model of the Quest 2 has been lowered from $299 to $249, while the 256GB version has seen a reduction from $349 to $299. These new prices, which were initially observed during Black Friday sales, are now a permanent fixture, as reported by TechCrunch.
In a broader move to make virtual reality more accessible, Meta is also slashing prices on various Quest 2 accessories. The Quest 2 Elite Strap with a battery, originally priced at $119.99, is now available for $89.99. The standard Quest 2 Elite Strap also sees a price drop from $59.99 to $49.99.
Additionally, Meta has discounted other accessories, including the Quest 2 Carrying Case, Active Pack, and Fit Pack, now priced at $44.99, $59.99, and $39.99 respectively.
This strategic pricing adjustment comes months after the release of the Quest 3 headset. The decision to lower prices not only for the Quest 2 headset but also for its range of accessories represents Meta’s commitment to expanding the reach of its virtual reality technology.
By making these advanced VR products more affordable, Meta aims to attract a wider user base and strengthen its position in the competitive VR market.
For consumers and tech enthusiasts, this move signals an opportune moment to dive into the immersive world of virtual reality, with more accessible pricing making advanced VR technology within reach for a broader audience.
