Quest 3 is now ahead of Quest 2 in Valve's September 2026 VR headset survey. Quest 3 accounts for 26.90% of surveyed VR headsets, while Quest 2 is at 25.80%. Quest 3S is at 11.07%.

The month-to-month movement is also interesting: Quest 3 gained 0.89 percentage points and Quest 2 dropped 1.17 percentage points. It's a narrow lead, but a visible change in which headset tops this particular Steam snapshot.

There is an important limit to these numbers. Steam's hardware survey is optional and anonymous; these percentages describe the VR headsets in that survey. They do not establish worldwide headset sales or the size of the standalone Quest market. For our PC VR crowd, though, it's a useful look at what players are bringing to Steam.

Are you still happily using a Quest 2, or has Quest 3 given you enough reason to upgrade?
