Meta has announced its next generation virtual reality headset at its recent Meta Gaming Showcase. The Quest 3 is set to launch this Fall, and will retail for $499.99, while an additional storage option for extra space will also be offered, though its pricing details are currently unknown.

Meta Quest 3 will be fully backward compatible with the Quest 2’s library, and will boast a number of improvements when it comes to the hardware, including higher resolution displays, pancake optics, and a next generation Snapdragon chipset developed in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, which will deliver twice the graphical performance of the Quest 2 GPU.

Meta Quest 3 also features a a 40% slimmer optic profile compared to Quest 2 and has a sleeker and more comfortable form factor, while the controllers have also been redesigned for better ergonomics. The outer tracking rings will no longer be used, while the controllers will also feature haptic feedback and full hand tracking.

The headset will also make use of Meta Reality technology, with Meta looking to up its mixed reality offerings as well. That will entail high-fidelity color Passthrough and improved machine learning and spatial understanding, delivering a better MR experience.

A specific release date for the Quest 3 hasn’t been confirmed.

Starting June 4, Meta will also be introducing price decreases for the Quest 2, along with pushing out an update that’ll bring GPU and CPU performance improvements. Read more on that through here.
