  • Meta has reportedly ended all software updates to the Oculus Quest
  • This sets the shelf-life for Quest headsets at just under six years, which suggests the Quest 2 would lose all support in 2026
  • The Meta Quest 2 might last until 2028 based on Meta’s CTO’s comments

Meta looks to have put the final nail in the coffin of the original Oculus Quest VR headset – and it gives us some idea of the life expectancy for the company’s other current headsets.

Meta discontinued the original Oculus Quest, which was released in 2019, in 2020, stopped updating it with new features in February 2023, ended security updates in August 2024, and cut support for new apps on the system in April 2024. Now it’s being reported (via UploadVR) that the system can no longer receive updates for older games from developers either, effectively meaning the headset has reached the end of its life.
