Meta dominates VR market with Quest 3 amid emerging alternatives

Meta holds a significant 54% share of the virtual reality market as of the second quarter of 2026. While the Meta Quest 3 is a leading high-end device priced at approximately $600, several alternatives exist across various price points.

The PlayStation VR2 is noted as a popular alternative, priced around $550. It offers a bright, vivid view and features haptic feedback in both the Sense controllers and the headset itself to enhance immersion. However, users require a PlayStation 5 or a gaming PC to operate the device, and its audio and microphone capabilities are considered less robust.
