It's definitely seemed in recent months like Meta might be pulling back from the affordable end of the VR market. There have been layoffs and studio closures within its Reality Labs division, controversies around Horizon Worlds support, and all the while, the Steam Frame is eagerly waiting in the wings to steal the attention of gamers looking for the best VR headsets.
Now, rumors are swirling around Meta's next VR headset using micro-OLED displays that would put it in the same league as the Apple Vision Pro, Samsung Galaxy XR, and upcoming Pico Project Swan headset. All of those headsets cost a substantially larger sum than the brand's existing Meta Quest 3S and even Meta Quest 3 devices, with price tags well over the $1,000 and even $3,000 mark.
