Meta Quest 3 just got more expensive. The Steam Frame VR headset has been delayed. And the reasons behind both of these things are connected (and bigger than most people realise.)
In this video I'm breaking down why VR hardware is getting more expensive and delayed, what's happening with the Steam Frame release date, what the Quest 3 price increase means for Quest 4, and why the future of VR hardware innovation might be stalling. And what that actually means for Meta Quest, Steam Frame, PSVR2, and the entire VR ecosystem.
