Oculus Quest 3 and Pro: everything we know about Meta's next VR headsets

Oculus Quest 3 is believed to be on the way, which is great news for fans of VR gaming. Even if things may have gone a bit quiet of late, Meta has confirmed that it's working on the next generation – or generations – of its VR headset. They just won't be called Oculus Quest 3 since the company seems determined to stick to its Meta Quest rebrand despite fans' horror. (It's been confirmed that the device will launch under the Meta branding: see our guide to the Meta Quest 3 for all the latest details).

But before Oculus Quest 3 (sorry, we're going to continue calling it that for now), we're expected to see another, more advanced device hit the market – let's call it Oculus Quest Pro (or Meta Quest Pro). Also dubbed Meta Cambria, the enhanced version of the VR headset may be part of the reason that the Oculus Quest 3 is apparently delayed. It's expected to introduce the VR technology expected to power Meta's ambitious metaverse project, and, according to Mark Zuckerberg, will eventually replace laptops (we'll wait and see about that).
