Need some reassurance? Earlier today, Meta also revealed a new price drop for the Quest 2, likely to clear some excess units ahead of a gradual changing of the guard. But it also echoed a commitment to protecting the current VR headset’s relevancy by announcing an over-the-air performance upgrade.
Meta Quest 2 owners will enjoy CPU and GPU performance boosts of 26% and 19%, respectively. We assume part of Meta’s motive for the push is to help the handset better handle ports of games designed for the much more powerful and sharp Quest 3, but the company also demoed improvements in existing titles. The added power helps achieve decent resolution upticks in games like “Red Matter 2” and “The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners.” The update also promises improved fluidity for the Meta Quest 2’s user interface, plus faster framerates in some games.
Should you buy a Meta Quest 2 at this point? That’ll largely depend on your budget. The Meta Quest 2 now starts at $299 for the 128 GB model, while the Meta Quest 3 comes in at $499. If you’re all-in on mixed reality and want to future-proof for the newest games, go with the Quest 3. But if you can’t make it work financially, it sounds like ample life will flow through the Quest 2 for at least the next year, and there’s still a hefty backlog of VR games to enjoy.
