Meta Ends Feature Development for Quest 2 and Quest Pro

Meta announced this week that it is sunsetting the Quest 2 and Quest Pro virtual reality headsets. The devices will receive their final operating system updates in March 2027, while security patches and bugfixes continue through the end of 2027. Millions of people still use the headsets, which were released in 2020 and 2022, according to Meta's blog post.

Update timeline

The Quest 2 and Quest Pro will get their final operating system updates in March 2027. Meta is committing to security patches and bugfixes through the end of 2027. December 2027 will be the last chance for developers to submit new apps for those devices.

Apps and cross-play

Existing apps can still receive updates after Meta ends support. Apps will still be available to buy, and cross-play with the Quest 3 and Quest 3S will continue after the "end of feature development." The app stores will stay open for both devices after support ends next year.

Looking ahead

Millions of people are still using the Quest 2 and Quest Pro even though they were released in 2020 and 2022. However, Meta appears to be looking forward, particularly with the addition of Meta VR Glasses to its wearables lineup.
