Meta plans to end operating-system updates for Quest 2 and Quest Pro after March 2027, while continuing security updates through the end of that year. Existing compatible games and PC VR are expected to remain available, though future game support may decline.

Both headsets are scheduled to stop receiving OS updates after March 2027, with security updates continuing through the end of 2027.
Meta says compatible games, multiplayer cross-play and PC VR through Quest Link will continue to work, provided games do not rely on newer OS features.
Developers ending support for a game must give players six months’ notice, but coverage expects support for older headsets to diminish over time.
