Meta has announced that, following months of layoffs of its VR workforce, it's raising the price of its VR headsets. In a statement made at the end of last week via a blog post, Meta said, "Starting April 19, 2026, we’ll be increasing the prices for our Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S headsets.
"We’re making this change because the cost of building high-performance VR hardware has risen significantly. The global surge in the price of critical components — specifically memory chips — is impacting almost every category of consumer electronics, including VR."
