According to a recently leaked information, the next Meta Quest VR headset may be released in 2026 with excellent upgrades. The leaks also reported details about the sequel of Meta Quest Pro.
Over the years, the Meta Quest headsets have performed significantly well among other VR headsets. Although the original Meta Quest wasn’t as powerful for gamers, there have been excellent upgrades — resulting in better VR experiences. The Meta Quest 3 being the latest release, features a high resolution of 2,064 x 2,208 pixels per eye.
Here are the specifications of Meta Quest 3:
Type | Standalone |
Resolution | 2,064 by 2,208 (per eye) |
Refresh Rate | 120 Hz |
Motion Detection | 6DOF |
Controls | Meta Quest Touch Controllers |
Hardware Platform | Standalone |
Software Platform | Meta |
At $499, Meta Quest 3 is amazing as compared to its competitors. However, according to the leaks, Meta Quest 4 is something more extraordinary than its prequel. Let’s find out more about it.
This leak about Meta Quest 4 comes from The Information, which has spoken to three individuals who have supposedly worked on the headset. According to the leaked information, the Meta Quest will come in two different version — a standard and a premium model. The “standard” model is codenamed Pismo Low, while the “premium” is codenamed Pismo High.
However, no information has been shared regarding the specifications yet.
The follow-up of the Meta Quest Pro is codenamed La Jolla which will allegedly be released in 2027. Leaks suggest that this sequel to Quest Pro will focus on increasing the resolution and comfort for users.
Conclusion
While all these leaks are exciting to know about, VR enthusiasts should take them with a grain of salt. In recent times, Meta’s priorities have shifted to AI which may also lead to these projects being scrapped or their release windows being changed. So, it’s better not to rely on these leaks until Meta announces something official.
