Meta has increased the price of the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets starting today, April 19, 2026.
The price of the Quest 3 has gone up by $100, while the Quest 3S has gone up by $50.
Here is the new pricing for each Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S bundle:
- Quest 3S (128GB): $300 → $350
- Quest 3S (256GB): $400 → $450
- Quest 3 (512GB): $500 → $600
Meta says the reason for the price increase is that “the cost of building high-performance VR hardware has risen significantly”.
“The global surge in the price of critical components — specifically memory chips — is impacting almost every category of consumer electronics, including VR.”
The good news is that official accessory prices are not changing. While the price increase seems large, it’s still a decent deal. When the 512GB Meta Quest 3 was originally released, it was $650 in 2023. Technically, this is still a solid deal.
Meta isn’t alone when it comes to the rise of hardware costs. Sony increased the price of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro now which is now $900. Microsoft also raised its console prices over the last year, and the same goes for a lot of other companies around the world.
The prices of the Meta Quest 3 headsets are still at a great deal for the moment. If you are hesitant about purchasing one, now might be the time.
