Virtual Reality

Reports across Reddit and Meta's own forums suggest some older headsets which haven't been updated in a while are bricking after its users are told to update the headset to the latest firmware. Reports indicate both Quest 2 and 3 headsets may be affected, though Quest 2 is more prevalent in the postings. "A theme running through a lot of the posts is that the headset hadn't been used in a while and it needed an update," explains one of the first comments on Meta's official forums. "I'm just guessing here, that headsets will update from a fairly recent firmware version to the latest without issue, BUT headsets on a much older firmware can not update to the latest version without becoming unresponsive. A meta software update has effectively killed your well looked after headset. Perhaps a class action or small claims court is a course of action to those affected."
