Quest 3 VR headset to launch next year according to roadmap

Recently, Meta began talking about Project Cambria, a new VR headset building off of the success of the Quest line to offer a high-end, ‘pro-grade' mixed reality experience. That headset should be coming out later this year, and it seems three other VR headsets will follow in 2023 and 2024. 

According to a new report from The Information, Meta has an internal VR hardware roadmap, showing four new headsets coming from the team formerly known as Oculus. These four VR headsets are scheduled to release by the end of 2024, and two of them are gaming-oriented headsets, indicating a Quest 3 is on the way.

If the roadmap is accurate, then the Quest 3 should launch next year, and a cheaper model will release one year later, in 2024. The other two VR headsets are likely geared towards the professional market, with one of them being Project Cambria. The fourth and final VR headset in development is currently under wraps, so not much is known at this stage.

As always, just because there is new hardware in development doesn't necessarily mean we will see a product release. While Project Cambria and a Quest 3 headset are assuredly going to release, Meta's plans could change for the other two headsets mentioned.

KitGuru Says: Current rumours point to a 2023 launch for Qualcomm's new XR3 chip, which should provide a significant boost over the XR2 found inside the Quest 2. With that in mind, expect a new Quest VR gaming headset next year.
