Meta is ending support for the Quest 2 and Quest 2 Pro VR headsets
Meta says it will end support for its Quest 2 and Quest 2 Pro VR headsets at the end of 2027.
Meta has announced it will stop supporting the popular Quest 2 and Quest 2 Pro virtual reality headsets at the end of 2027. This means creators of apps and services will no longer receive updates or security patches for these devices. The announcement was made on Meta's developer blog, which explained how the end of support will affect VR applications.
New app submissions for the Quest 2 and Quest 2 Pro will cease in December 2027, and the final operating system version (2.13) will arrive in March 2027. Meta reassured developers that users can still access their apps, but users may face issues due to the lack of critical bug fixes beyond 2027. The company also mentioned that cross-play with the upcoming Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets will continue.
Meta's VR Glasses, which it claims are the next step in VR technology, will likely render the Quest 2 and Quest 2 Pro obsolete. Developers are advised to consider their audience and split releases accordingly.
