Meta has increased prices across its Quest headset lineup, citing rising costs of memory chips that are critical to powering high-performance, AI-enabled devices. The Meta Quest 3 will increase by $100 to $599.99, while the Meta Quest 3S models will rise by $50, reaching $349.99 and $449.99 depending on storage configuration.
The company indicated that global increases in RAM pricing are affecting consumer electronics broadly, including systems that rely on advanced processing for immersive and AI-supported experiences. Updated pricing will also apply to refurbished units, while accessories remain unchanged.
Meta joins other major manufacturers, including Samsung, Microsoft, and Sony, in adjusting hardware pricing amid ongoing component cost pressures.
