At today’s Meta Connect 2023 event, the tech giant unveiled the. With enhanced mixed-reality features, a sleeker form factor, and a more powerful processor than the Quest 2, the headset represents a substantial upgrade from its predecessor. Meta promises that the Quest 3 will have over 50 brand-new games available before the end of the year. However, players hoping for exclusive titles will have to wait until at least 2024.
Set to launch on October 10 with a starting price of $499.99 for the 128GB model, the high-end headset represents the company’s biggest push yet to get consumers to embrace VR and mixed-reality gaming. As reported by Road to VR, at Meta Connect 2023 the company promised that “over 100 new and upgraded titles” are headed to the headset before the end of the year, with over 50 of those being brand-new games. This robust launch window lineup should ensure that there’s plenty to play on the Quest 3 throughout 2023, but that content won’t be limited to the new headset.
While upcoming Quest 2 titles like Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord will work on the new headset — and potentially run better than on its predecessor — the Quest 3 won’t have any titles exclusive to the headset until at least 2024. According to a Meta representative who was questioned by UploadVR, the company currently doesn’t have “any specific Quest 3 exclusives” at this time and any game launching on the new headset until the end of 2023 will also come to the Quest 2.
With no exclusive titles currently announced for the new headset — which also features backwards compatibility with existing games — Quest 2 owners may not see much incentive to upgrade any time soon.
The lack of exclusives this early in the lifecycle isn’t unprecedented for Meta. While the Meta Quest 2 launched in October 2020 the first exclusive title for the headset — Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 VR — didn’t release until October of the following year.
