- According to the reports, Meta has finished all software updates to Oculus Quest

- The Quest 2 goal could last up to 2028 based on Meta de Meta comments
Goal seems to have put the last nail in the coffin of the original Oculus Quest VR headset, and gives us an idea of the life expectancy of the other current headphones of the company.
Goal discontinued the original Oculus Quest, which was launched in 2019, in 2020, stopped updating it with new functions in February 2023, finished security updates in August 2024 and reduced support for new applications in the system in April 2024 .
You can continue using your search if you wish, although given the lack of security updates, we recommend being caution if you do. More significantly, this reported development would put the official useful life of the original search in six years, which in turn gives us an idea of how long could continue supporting its other missions headphones, and could be bad news for the most news Meta popular. VR Hardware, The Quest 2.
This is due to the fact that if the target follows a similar policy with the Quest 2 goal, we can expect that headset to receive software updates to the middle/finals of 2026, then the Quest 3 goal will be compatible until 2029 and the goal Quest 3s until 2030, Although MAY May chooses the end of the support for Quest 3 later or 3s previously since the headphones share the same chipset to be strange to finish the support for one and not for the other.
There is still hope for Quest 2
Meta has already taken the first steps towards Sunsetting The Quest 2. The headphones were officially suspended in September last year, although it began to disappear from retail trade in July, and the first exclusive Quest 3 targets have already arrived (titles such as Batman: Arkham Shadow) As software developers begin to abandon the aged hardware of Quest 2. Then, a 2026 -end life date would certainly make sense; However, there is good news if you expect to continue using your Quest 2 for a little more.
In an available Instagram story (which was shared with Reddit), Meta Cto Andrew Bosworth said that Quest 2 would receive support for “three years since the last sale date.” That would mean that it should last until 2027, with its incredible popularity (it has overcome the lists of use of VR headphones of vapor vapor for years) that probably helps to extend your life a little beyond that of your older brother.
In addition, if Bosworth is only talking about the security updates of the Horizon operating system, and not the updates of the application of developers, then, after the timeline, goal was taken for the original search, its Quest 2 goal could Assemble your path to eight years of support before you are stuck in stois software, which is not very badly given the useful life of another technology such as your smartphone.
If the Quest 2 survives until 2028, by then we will have a Quest 4S goal for the Quest 2 holdouts to sink its teeth as a new alternative of Asequible VR headphones, but for exact details of the finishing plans for its existing headphones, and the futures , we will have to wait for some official ads.
