What changed
Meta plans to release the final major OS update for its Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets by March 2027. That update, v213, will be followed by security patches and critical bug fixes through December 2027, while compatible apps can still be submitted until the end of that year.
Why it matters
This creates a clear two-stage retirement for both headsets. They will stop receiving major platform improvements in 2027, but they will remain supported for security, urgent fixes and app compatibility for several more months.
For VR app developers, the practical deadline is December 2027. Existing Quest 2 and Quest Pro users can still receive compatible software during that period, but developers will need to plan around a platform that is no longer gaining major OS features after v213. The hardware is not being switched off; its role is shifting from an actively evolving platform to a maintained legacy one.
