With the Meta Quest 3 release date on the horizon, we’re summarising the key differences between the two headsets.
Here are the key differences between the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2, including price, availability, specs, design, and games.
With the Meta Quest 3 release date finally being confirmed at the recent Meta Connect 2023 event, many gamers are likely wondering whether it’s time to retire their Meta Quest 2 and upgrade. You’re able to pre-order the Meta Quest 3 right now, but whether or not it’s worth forking out the £479.99 / $499.99 / AU$799.99 it costs is another question altogether.
The Meta Quest 3 brings a whole new level of augmented reality which just isn’t available to gamers who plan to continue to sport the Meta Quest 2. Paired with this is a specs boost which allows for much more intensive titles to be played, as well as a thinner headset overall to make for a more comfortable fit.
The price difference between the two headsets is quite significant and will likely be the major factor in whether or not you choose to upgrade to the Meta Quest 3. You can pick up two different versions of the Meta Quest 3, coming in at different price points. The Meta Quest 3 128GB price is £479.99 / $499.99 / AU$799.99 and the Meta Quest 3 512GB price is £619.99 / $649.99 / AU$1,049.99.
