Meta is raising prices on its Quest VR headsets effective April 19th, with the Quest 3S 128GB increasing to $349.99 ($50 increase), Quest 3S 256GB to $449.99 ($50 increase), and Quest 3 to $599.99 ($100 increase). The company attributed the price hikes to surging global memory chip costs affecting consumer electronics. Smart glasses products are not expected to see near-term price increases.
