- Meta is Pulling the Plug on Quest 1 Security Patches Next Month
Meta announced that security patches for Quest 1 are officially coming to an end next month, marking the final phase-out of the now five-year-old headset.
Meta sent an email to Quest 1 owners on Friday stating the 2019-era Quest will no longer receive any security updates or bug fixes starting August 31st, 2024.
While users will still be able to download and play supported apps, the company notes that “if any security vulnerabilities are discovered in the future, private data that is directly stored on the device or accessible from it would be at risk of compromise.
- Is the Quest 3 really such a big improvement over the Quest 2?
Im asking because I've been thinking about buying a headset but keep seeing that the Quest 3 is a much better experience than the Quest 2, even at a higher price. So is the 3 actually that much better that, even with a price of 550 Euros, it's worth it?
Never tried VR so can't compare it.
