TheMeta Quest 3has just been announced , revealing a headset starting at a price of £ 499/$499 . Those averse to costly VR headset may be disappointed but theMeta Quest 2is , gratefully , acquire a price cut , with a carrying into action boost on top too .
InJuly of last year , Meta slapped £ 100/$100 onto the cost of the Quest 2 headset . What was once the best value offering in VR had been ruin by a higher toll tag . Well , alongside the launch of the Quest 3 , Meta may win some devotee back .
The Meta Quest 2 is returning to a start price of £ 299/$299 from June 4th , so keep your eyes peeled for the more sympathetic Leontyne Price bring back to the popular headset .
That ’s not all though . Meta is touting a big boost in performance for the Quest 2 andQuest professional , all via a software update . you could expect an up to 26 % C.P.U. operation boost for both headsets , then an up to 19 % GPU execution boost for the Quest 2 and up to 11 % for the Pro .
What does it think in practice ? I ’ll permit Meta explain , “ As developers take advantage of these changes , you could require quiet gameplay , a more responsive UI , and rich content on both headsets . And we ’re enabling Dynamic Resolution Scaling for both Quest 2 and Quest Pro , so game and apps can take advantage of increased pixel density without dropping frames . ”
With the Meta Quest 2 return to its original Mary Leontyne Price , three years after its launching , and a new Venus’s curse of performance , the appeal of the value - focused headset could peak once again , specially with the £ 499/$499 price of the new Meta Quest 3 likely to count a shade too rich in the eyes of some .
Though , we do n’t yet get laid the full Meta Quest 3 inside information , beyond much - improved carrying out , a slimmer and more comfortable design and a capital focusing on AR passthrough . For that , Meta says we ’ll have to wait until September 27th for Meta Connect . There is also aMeta Gaming Showcasetoday ( June 1st ) where you may see upcoming game for your futurity ( or about to be performance - supercharge ) VR headset .
