oculus quest 3 is in development, and despite the recent release of Quest Pro, Meta can’t help but talk about the next successor to Quest 2. Following recent talk of a possible price, Meta has officially confirmed that Quest is expected to be “next-gen” come later. next year.”
While Meta Quest Pro uses the best VR headset technology, many are wondering when we expect a consumer-facing sequel to Quest 2. During Meta’s Q3 2022 earnings report, CFO David Wehner briefed investors on the increase in production costs. This is where he mentioned Oculus Quest 3 but avoided using his digital name.
“Conversely, our revenue value growth is expected to accelerate due to infrastructure costs and, to a lesser extent, Reality Labs hardware costs driven by the launch of our upcoming Quest consumer headsets. generation by the end of next year,” Vener said. states Given Quest 2 launching in October 2020 and Quest Pro launching earlier this week, we’re guessing Quest 3 will follow in October 2023, but that’s yet to be confirmed.
Unfortunately for Meta, this is a disappointing report as the company posted a massive $9.4 billion loss while Reality Labs posted a $3.7 billion operating loss. Promising that there will be “an increased focus on all areas of operating expenses,” Wehner confirmed, “we expect Reality Labs operating losses in 2023 to be up significantly from last year.”
Since the official announcement of the Meta Quest Pro, we’ve had an idea of what to expect from the so-called Quest 3. In a recent interview, CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that the Oculus Quest 3 could cost five times cheaper than the Quest Pro, as it will cost you around $300-500.
We also got our first look at the headset’s specs thanks to the recent Oculus Quest 3 leak. Based on CAD video footage, the Quest 3 lacks face and eye tracking like the Quest Pro, but will be powered by a Qualcomm XR2 Gen 2 chip. However, this always changes during development, so until confirmed by Meta, there is no guarantee that this will be the final design.
