Meta has fundamentally changed their VR strategy. In a major blog post, they announced that Horizon Worlds is pivoting to "Mobile First," effectively separating the "Metaverse" from the Quest headset. We break down why this is a huge win for gamers.
Plus, we look at the confusing rebrand of v85 to "Meta Horizon OS 2.1," the massive "Project Swan" headset reveal from Pico coming to GDC, Apple's plans for screen-less smart glasses, and Foveated Streaming coming to Vision Pro.
