The news source revealed that Meta has informed employees about the cancellation of the high-end Mixed Reality headset development project, which was expected to compete with Apple’s Vision Pro. The main reason cited was the inability to lower the price as intended.
Meta’s high-end headset development project, known as La Jolla since last year, may be the Quest Pro 2 set to be released in 2027. However, Meta’s plan is to sell this headset for less than $1,000, but they are facing challenges due to the high hardware costs, particularly the display screen (Vision Pro starting at $3,499).
Despite this setback, Meta is still progressing with the development of other headsets such as Quest 4 in 2026, and a lower-priced model scheduled for release in 2026 as well.
TLDR: Meta cancels high-end Mixed Reality headset project, facing challenges with pricing; continues development on other headsets.
