Varjo will stop supporting its older headsets, XR-3, VR-3, and Aero, next year.<\/p>\n

From January 1, 2026, the Varjo Base software will no longer include updates and fixes for these headsets.<\/p>\n

Varjo is a Finland-based startup that sells ultra-high-end tethered PC VR headsets with very high central angular resolution, mainly intended for enterprise and government users.<\/p>\n

Varjo XR-3 and VR-3<\/a> were only for enterprise and government, and launched in late 2020 with retinal resolution in the central 27\u00b0, while Varjo Aero arrived in 2021 for enthusiast consumers with 3K LCD displays.<\/p>\n

Both headsets were replaced by the Varjo XR-4 series<\/a>, which started shipping at the end of 2023 with 4K LCD displays. The standard Varjo XR-4 is priced at $3990, while the XR-4 Focal Edition with camera autofocus costs $9990.<\/p>\n

While primarily for enterprise and government, XR-4 is also now available for individuals, if they have the money, and Varjo Aero production ended<\/a> just a few months after XR-4 launched.<\/p>\n
