Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro: When will support for them end, and will your games still work?

Owners of the Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest Pro, the support timeline for your virtual reality headsets has now been clarified. Meta Horizon OS Developers officially announced on November 2, 2026 the steps for phasing out software support for these two devices. While the end of their hardware life is approaching, that doesn’t mean your devices will become unusable overnight.

According to the schedule announced by the manufacturer, the last major operating system update will roll out by March 2027. After that date, the two headsets will no longer receive new software features. Meta has nevertheless pledged to continue providing security updates, with critical patches through the end of 2027.

• Your library remains intact: All games and apps you’ve already purchased remain playable on Quest 2 and Quest Pro.
• PC VR compatibility: Using the headset connected to a computer (via a Link cable or Air Link) remains possible.

This announcement gives current users and secondhand buyers clear visibility ahead of the holiday season. While upcoming big-budget titles may be exclusive to the Meta Quest 3 and its successors, previous-generation headsets will retain all their core features for the months ahead.
