Adding yet another piece of gaming (or gaming-adjacent) hardware to the list of victims of the state of the market right now, Meta has announced that its popular Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets will both be getting significant price increases beginning Sunday, April 19.
The new pricing will take effect globally, with the company blaming the cost of components for the hike, a common story as the consumer electronics industry wrestles with surges and shortages of memory and other necessary parts, caused by rapid expansion of AI infrastructure and manufacturing shifts towards AI-ready technology.
Under this new pricing structure, a 512GB Meta Quest 3 will now run you USD $599.99 / AUD $969.99 / £599.99 while on the lowest end, you’ll pay USD $349.99 / AUD $569.99 / £319.99 for a 128GB Meta Quest 3S.
Here’s a look at the current and incoming pricing of the Quest and Quest 3S for major global regions:
