![]() In the time since production ceased on the Rift S and original Quest, a number of retailers reduced the price of these older devices to clear any remaining inventory. That means the only VR headset in the range available to buy today is the Meta Quest 2. Six months before that, the company also discontinued the production of the original Oculus Quest. In April 2021, Facebook announced it would no longer manufacture the Oculus Rift S and instead focus on the wireless Quest experience. Are the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S discontinued? This is in spite of the fact that around 15 million Meta Quest 2 headsets have been sold since launch and over $1 billion has been spent on apps through the Meta Store. Basically, it's the same excuse we've heard from many other products and services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime to justify price increases. Why, though? Well, according to Meta, the this price hike was neccessary to combat increasing operational and development costs. A substaintaial increase that saw the VR headset jump up to $399 / £399 for the 128GB version and $499 / £499 for the 256GB version. At the end of July this year, Meta announced that the price of the Meta Quest 2 would go up by $100 / £100. ![]()
