Thank you to Coje_He for the tip! On December 27th, according to multiple user reports on Reddit and Meta platforms, there is a software update issue with Meta Quest 2/3/3S VR headsets that causes the devices to become bricked. This occurs when devices running on an outdated system attempt to update to the latest system, resulting in a black screen and error pop-ups. Meta has acknowledged the issue and stated that they are currently working on a solution.
It is important to note that the Meta Quest 2 was initially released in June 2020, and the Quest 3 was released in October 2023. This means that users who purchase early production unopened devices may encounter the bricking issue when upgrading the system, so those who have purchased the corresponding devices should be cautious when upgrading. Currently, the latest stable version of the Quest 2/3/3S / Pro VR headset is v72, which mainly includes faster hand tracking, easier pairing with Windows 11 PCs, and better display of keyboards in virtual reality environments.
