Meta raises Quest VR prices
The price of the 512GB Quest 3 will rise to $599, while the Quest 3S models will see a $50 increase starting April 19.
The move follows similar price adjustments across the tech industry as manufacturers grapple with supply chain disruptions.
Meta's decision comes as it continues to invest heavily in its 'metaverse' vision despite broader economic headwinds.
Analysts suggest the higher prices could impact consumer adoption of VR technology during a period of tightened household budgets.
