![]() ![]() Based on our hands-on time with the Meta Quest Pro, its mixed reality experiences felt more real than anything we had experienced in pure VR. But Meta’s latest device is a mixed reality headset, not a virtual reality one. It’s strapped to your face, with a display that covers your eyes, and it can play many of the best VR games – everything that the Oculus Quest 2 can in fact. The Meta Quest Pro shares a lot of similarities with your typical VR headset. Though, if you factor in the need for a relatively good PC, it’s about what you could expect to pay for a VR setup using the Valve Index (which costs $999 / £919 / about AU$1,425).īut the thing is, the Meta Quest Pro is not a VR headset. Coming in at $1,500 / £1,500 (around AU$2,630) the Meta Quest Pro is not cheap – it’s roughly four times the price of the Oculus Quest 2, and while you are getting some notable performance upgrades, you’re also getting the downgrades mentioned above. However the Quest 2 is set to have 120HZ as its default setting in the near future, so it’ll be a shame if the upgraded Quest Pro doesn’t follow suit.Īnd then there’s the price. Higher refresh rates help to make VR experiences less motion sickness-inducing 90Hz is the recommended minimum and is currently the default setting on the Quest 2. ![]() Meta also told us in a briefing ahead of the announcement that the Meta Quest Pro is “optimized for 90Hz”, but refused to give a straight answer as to whether a 120Hz refresh rate will be available on the hardware. Meta told us it’ll last somewhere between one and a half and two hours by comparison, the Oculus Quest 2 will last between two and three hours, and can go for longer if you use the official Elite Strap with battery add-on. First off, the device’s battery life is pretty disappointing.
