Meta Quest Price Drop: Up to $900 Off in Canada; March 2023 Games [LIST]

Meta has slashed pricing for its Quest VR headsets in Canada, with the newly released Quest Pro now available for as low as $1,399.99 after a steep $900 discount.

Take a look at the new pricing for Meta Quest headsets below:

  • Meta Quest 2 (128 GB): $529.99
  • Meta Quest 2 (256 GB): $589.99 (was $659.99; 10% off)
  • Meta Quest Pro: $1,399.99 (was $2,299.99; 39% off)

This massive drop in the Quest Pro’s price comes just five months after Meta unveiled its highest-end headset to date.

According to Meta, the Quest Pro has high-resolution sensors for “robust” mixed-reality experiences, along with a sleeker, lighter design and LCD displays that offer crisp visuals. The Quest Pro also features eye-tracking functionality and Natural Facial Expressions to make your avatar appear more natural in VR.

From now until June 3, 2023, Meta is also offering two bonus games — GOLF+ by Golf Scope Inc. and Space Pirate Trainer DX by I-Illusions — with the purchase of every 128GB or 256GB Quest 2 headset. You can order a Quest Pro or Quest 2 in Canada today from the Meta Quest store.
