HoloLens 2 cancellation could mean we'll finally see the Meta and Xbox VR headset, and I'm excited

This past month has given rise to a suite of new VR headsets – the Pico 4 Ultra, Vive Focus Vision, and Meta Quest 3S – but also the discontinuation of some of the best VR headsets out there: the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3 128GB model. Now it’s time to add another to the list of dead headsets with the announcement that Microsoft HoloLens2 has been discontinued, which means production has ended and once it’s gone it’s gone. However, this cloud could have a silver lining.

For the full breakdown of what the announcement means for business using HoloLens products (which were mainly aimed at professionals, rather than gamers) check out our story over on TechRadar Pro. Basically, it’ll still get software updates through to the end of 2027, with software support for the original model ending in December 2024.
