Meta kicks off 2024 with Quest 2 price cut

Ahead of the launch of the Quest 3 last year, Meta went back and raised the prices of the Quest 2 VR headset. Now as we enter 2024, Meta is dropping prices for its previous-gen system back down. 

As of the 1st of January 2024, the 128GB Quest 2 has now dropped back from £299 to £249.99, and the 256GB version is now £299. Official refurbished units have also dropped down to £229.99 and £269.99 respectively. Alongside all of this, Meta has also announced a price cut for all Quest 2 accessories, including the Elite Strap, carrying case and others.

While the Quest 3 is now available, it is more expensive than the Quest 2 was at launch, coming in at £499, just like the original Oculus Rift headset. By dropping the price of the Quest 2, Meta hopes to keep new customers jumping into VR, in hopes that they may upgrade to a newer or more expensive headset later down the line.

For now, most VR games are still shipping with support for both the Quest 2 and the Quest 3. Additionally, both headsets can be hooked up to a PC for playing PCVR titles both wired and wirelessly if you have a good home network setup.

KitGuru Says: Quest 2 prices have dropped back down to their previous levels but I do wonder if it can continue to be a big seller after several years on the market already. Would you consider picking up a Quest 2 in 2024 at its new price or would you need to see prices come down a little further first?
