## Summary

Meta plans to end major operating system updates for its Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets by March 2027, with version 213 expected to be the final release. The change marks a shift towards the Quest 3 and Quest 3S as the baseline for its VR platform, ahead of the planned launch of new VR Glasses in spring 2027.

Meta says it will continue security patches and critical bug fixes until the end of 2027, and developers can submit apps supporting the older headsets through December that year. The Quest 2 launched in 2020 and the Quest Pro in 2022; Meta discontinued both in 2024. The company says apps built for the newer headsets can carry forward to the VR Glasses, which use the same operating system and software development tools.
