There is a price increase coming for all the variants of the current Meta Quest 2 VR headset, and there are no significant changes or upgrades for this version of the wearable tech.

MacRumors reported a future price increase for the famous wearable technology from Meta, and the Quest 2 VR headset will be $100 more expensive for the public's purchase. The price change would come by August 1, and gamers or enthusiasts that purchase it now may still get it from its original price. 

Current prices are at their original offers for the 128GB variant at $299 starting price and $399 for the 256GB variant from Meta. 

However, all that would change in the coming week, especially as August would take place on the coming Monday the following week.

Meta Quest 2 VR: No Updates But Sees New Prices

The new prices would reflect next week and bring the world the updated list, but no significant changes to the device. 

Meta Quest 2 and its VR Headset Venture

The Oculus Quest 2, better known by its new name as the Meta Quest 2, is one of the most prominent virtual reality headsets available today, and it gives the world a chance to experience the online world right through one's eyes. 

It also recently achieved a milestone regarding the device being the top selling VR headset in the world in 2021, and it is a significant recognition for the company's technology. 

There are many offers available for the Meta Quest 2, and it offers the chance to share screen the VR content on one's television or other larger displays to help in its viewing. There are many features available on Meta's Quest 2 VR headset, and it helps the world complete their virtual needs, offering an excellent deal for all wanting the experience.

However, this new price increase is unprecedented and something that the public disagrees with Meta, especially as there are no significant hardware changes for new releases. Moreover, it is still the same Meta Quest 2 VR headset, not a new release from the company. There may be developments in its software and features, and these may be the reason for the device's new prices now.
