The social media giant has also announced a price reduction for the Quest 2, making it more accessible to enthusiasts. The Quest 2’s value has been lowered by $100, with the 128GB version priced at $299.99, and the 256GB version now available for $349.99. 

The company shared plans to release the Quest 3 during the third quarter of 2022 earnings announcement, highlighting an expected increase in cost of revenue. The rise was attributed, in part, to the expenses associated with Reality Labs hardware, specifically due to the forthcoming launch of the next iteration of the consumer-focused Quest headset.
