Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Just when we thought we knew Meta's plans, the script has been completely flipped! The VR news cycle has done a complete 180 after leaked memos revealed a massive shakeup to Meta's hardware roadmap. We dive deep into the news that the Quest 4 is officially BACK in development as a gaming-focused powerhouse, but it comes with a huge catch: the era of cheap, subsidized headsets is likely over.
Plus, we explore the "why" behind this chaotic reversal, from major budget cuts at Reality Labs to the bombshell hire of Apple's Head of UI Design, Alan Dye, who is now tasked with fixing Meta's software. From the incredible new tech from GravityXR that makes 100-gram headsets possible to the rollout of new Discord features and a Smart Glasses SDK, this is the VR news you can't afford to miss.
I hope you enjoy this one :D
