Meta’s ‘Software Update Issue’ Has Been Breaking Quest Headsets for Weeks
In recent weeks, numerous Meta Quest headset owners have reported a frustrating and potentially costly problem. According to reports, the company’s “software update issue” has resulted in a significant number of Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest 3S headsets becoming unusable.
The issue appears to be widespread, with many users taking to online forums and social media to share their experiences. The Meta Support site has been updated to acknowledge the problem, stating that a “software update issue” is affecting some of its devices.
Although the company has not provided a clear timeline for when a fix will be available, it has assured users that an update is in development. This news may come as a relief to those who have been left with unusable headsets, especially considering the potentially hefty cost of replacing them.
It’s worth noting that this issue may affect a larger number of users than initially thought, as Meta initially only acknowledged the problem affecting “some” new Quest 3S devices. However, it appears that the issue has spread to other models as well.
The company has made efforts to support those affected by the issue, with some reports suggesting that it is now offering out-of-warranty service to resolve the problem for these users. This development may be a welcome relief for those who were initially told they would need to pay for repairs or replacement themselves.
As the situation continues to unfold, we will be keeping a close eye on developments and providing updates as more information becomes available.
