Meta Quest 3 Beats PSVR2 at $499.99 as Sony Cuts Back Production

1 articles · Updated · tech-insider.org · Jun 14

$499.99 buys a complete Quest 3 setup in 2026, while PSVR2 starts at $549.99 and rises to about $1,049 for buyers who also need a PS5.
That price gap matters more as memory-chip shortages lift VR hardware costs and Sony reportedly scales back PSVR2 manufacturing, adding uncertainty around the platform’s long-term support.
Quest 3 wins on portability, color passthrough, wireless PC VR and a 500-plus game library; PSVR2 counters with OLED HDR, eye tracking, stronger haptics and PS5-powered graphics.
The comparison’s verdict is straightforward: Quest 3 is the safer default for most buyers, while PSVR2 remains the better pick for existing PS5 owners chasing premium single-player immersion.
