    Alright, Chyll had covered the games aspect of vr news, and he has done a wonderful job. Please go check out his post, it is the pinned post on this group.

    Now we get into the other aspects of vr

    The Quest 3 will most launch date of 2023, have a price between $300 – $500, have pancake lenses, have an usb-c port, most likely contain lcd displays, have an ipd slider, built in volume, most likely having a fan, have the Snap Dragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, most likely have a resolution of 2064×2208 per eye, 12gb of ram, up to 512gb of storage, have a 120Hz refresh rate, and more (more in these videos:

    And speaking of new stuff coming in 2023, roblox vr may come to the stand-alone meta headsets later 2023, although this isn’t confirmed.

    Now onto sad news, the quest 1 is getting discontinued.

    There will be no new features shipping to it, social features are being cut, and the software will stop being maintained come 2024.

    Here what meta said when this was addressed by them.

    “We launched Quest 1 over four years ago and we are grateful to the Quest 1 community for pushing VR forward. As we look to the future, we remain committed to supporting the community of Quest 1 users and will continue to support the headset with a few changes:

    You will still be able to use your Quest 1 headset and available apps.

    We won’t be shipping new features to Quest 1.

    We plan to continue maintaining the system software with critical bug fixes and security patches until 2024.

    Quest 1 users will no longer be able to create or join a party.

    Quest 1 users who currently have access to Meta Horizon Home social features will lose access to these features on March ‌5, ‌2023. You won’t be able to invite others to your Home or visit someone else’s Home”

    Moving onto less sad news, Pavlov VR (not to be confused with Pavlov shack, the quest port) was confirmed to be a launch title for the PSVR 2, and it will support cross play! This is great news as not only does this bring a new wave of users to Pavlov, meaning this game will get more revenue, which means more money to maintain and update the game, it means more accessibility to this great, fun vr shooter. And since it is cross play, you’ll be able to play with your PSVR 2 friend while you are on pcvr and vice versa.

    Onto other fantastic news, Windlands 2, a combat platformer game, is coming to the Quest 2. However, it will not support Crossplay or Cross buy.

    And lastly, v49 for the Meta Quest is coming out shortly, which would contain new home environments and more parental control features.

    Anyways, that is all, goodnight!
