The next Meta Quest Gaming Showcase is happening in June, but don’t expect the Oculus Quest 3 to make an appearance.
Meta has announced that its next Quest Gaming Showcase will take place on June 1, and it promises to reveal twice as many games, apps, and updates as it did during the 2022 showcase.
As we’ve seen in previous years, these showcases give Meta a chance to reveal the VR software that it and its partners have been working on for its VR headsets – the Oculus Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. We’ve seen some pretty big announcements these past couple of years, with some of the best Oculus Quest 2 games being featured in the 2021 and 2022 showcases. So expect many exciting announcements for this year’s event, too.
One announcement we aren’t expecting however is an Oculus Quest 3 reveal – or any VR hardware for that matter. Meta may take the opportunity to tease its upcoming headset but a full-on reveal is most likely being reserved for its Meta Connect 2023 showcase due in October based on how it usually runs its events. Its June Showcase is typically software-centric, while its October Connect is more hardware-focused.
If you want to tune into the upcoming showcase, it’ll happen on June 1, 2023, at 10am PT / 6pm BST / June 2 at 3am ACT. Meta hasn’t revealed where and how you can tune in but we imagine it’ll provide Facebook and YouTube livestream links soon.What we expect from the Meta showcase
But let’s not dwell on what won’t be on show, instead let’s try and guess what we might see instead of the Quest 3 at the upcoming Meta event.
As we mentioned above, Meta has teased that this year’s event will have “double the news” of its 2022 showcase.
