When is Meta Quest 3 coming out? Release date and rumors explained

THE Meta Quest 2 is almost three years old and the VR headset needs an upgrade.

Known as the Oculus Quest before Facebook’s name change, Meta Quest headsets are among the best out there.

It’s one of the few wireless VR headsets and has one of the best screen resolutions for an immersive experience.

Here’s what we know about the next headset in the series, the Meta Quest 3.

Is Meta Quest 3 Coming Out?

Meta Quest 2 was released less than a month after its official announcement, and something similar could happen with Meta Quest 3.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed the company is working on its next VR headset.

He also confirmed that it would launch in 2023, confirming previous rumors about its launch date.

We expect Meta Quest 3 to hit the market in time for holiday buyers, likely releasing in September or October.

How much will Meta Quest 3 cost?

The Meta Quest 2 has seen its price increase throughout its lifecycle, and the cheapest is now £399 ($399).

Meta’s next headset is unlikely to drop below that price, although rumor has it it won’t cost too much more.

An internal leak from Meta suggested the price will be more than $400 (£400).

The latest VR headset release was the £530 ($550) PS VR2, and we don’t expect it to exceed that price.

What to expect from Meta Quest 3?

Meta’s internal leak suggested that the Meta Quest 3 will have more power and a slimmer design.

The resolution is believed to be increased to 2,064 x 2,208 per eye to bring it in line with the best VR headsets currently available.

We’re also expecting a RAM upgrade, and a 512GB model could be available.

Nothing has been officially announced, but it appears that Meta Quest 3 will be a general upgrade of Meta Quest 2’s specs.
