About Meta Quest 2
The Oculus Quest 2 was released in 2020. It was rebranded as the Meta Quest 2 when Oculus was acquired by Meta, which was formerly known as Facebook. The device allows you to enjoy a variety of VR experiences, including games that can be downloaded from the Oculus Store.
You can link the device to your PC, either with the Meta Quest Link cable or over Wi-Fi. Then you can access more processor-heavy games from stores like Steam.
About Meta Quest Pro
The Meta Quest Pro has been unveiled as the successor to the Meta Quest 2. The Meta Quest Pro focusses on mixed reality, a form of virtual reality in which digital elements are superimposed onto a real-life camera feed.
Meta believes the headset will prove to be a paradigm shifter in the realms of work, socialising, shopping and more. It takes advantage of "pancake optics" to deliver visual performance that vastly outstrips its predecessor as well as a slimmer, more ergonomic design.
The Meta Quest Pro carries a RRP of $2,499.99, a massive hike over the Meta Quest 2's starting cost of $630. You can check out our full guide with everything you need to know about the Meta Quest Pro here.
