Meta, formerly known as Facebook Technologies, is making a significant move in the world of virtual reality with the announcement of price cuts for its flagship virtual reality headset, the Quest 2. These price reductions are part of Meta’s mission to make virtual reality more accessible to a wider audience.
Starting June 4th, the 128GB version of the Quest 2 will be available for $299.99, while the 256GB version will be priced at $349.99.
Transitioning from Facebook Technologies to Meta
As Meta takes the lead in shaping the future of the metaverse & virtual reality, the company has also undergone a transition from its previous identity as Facebook Technologies to the new Meta brand. This rebranding reflects Meta’s commitment to advancing virtual reality technology and its broader vision for the future.
Enhancing Performance with Software Update
In addition to the price cuts, Meta has exciting plans to improve the performance of the Quest 2 through an upcoming software update. This update will enhance both the CPU and GPU performance of the Quest 2 and the Quest Pro, Meta’s professional-focused virtual reality headset.
With these improvements, users can expect smoother gameplay, a more responsive user interface, and access to richer content.
Dynamic Resolution Scaling: A Visual Treat
