The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are still fully supported, even though both consoles were released in 2013 \u2014 making them 9 years old. The Quest is based on hardware developed for Android smartphones, most of which don\u2019t receive major OS updates after 5 years, but many devices continue working beyond that point. Limiting new features to the newer headsets is understandable, but removing existing social features is more frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>The Quest 2 is still Meta\u2019s mainstream self-contained VR headset, though the Quest Pro was introduced last year as a new premium option. Both devices have newer and more powerful hardware than the original Quest.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve reached out to Meta for more information about software support, and we will update this post when we hear back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
