The $500 mixed reality headset will be backward compatible with Quest 2 games and support Xbox Cloud gaming.
We finally got more information on the much-talked-about Meta Quest 3 mixed-reality headset during today’s Meta Connect Keynote. From the looks of it, Meta is going hard to bring mixed reality gaming and productivity to the masses and giving it a big performance boost over the already impressive Meta Quest 2.
Meta announced the Quest 3 in June, but aside from giving a price, it was light on details. The first bit of big news we got during today’s presentation was that Quest 3 will have Xbox Cloud Gaming support, which lets you stream Xbox Game Pass games (with a Bluetooth controller) onto a virtual screen on top of your dinner table.
The headset will support Air Link, and you can connect to your PC with a Quest Link Cable, which means you’ll be able to play SteamVR games and have backward compatibility with Quest 2 VR games and AR apps.
The Quest 3 supports 2064 x 2208 per eye resolution on pancake lenses (similar to the Quest Pro) with a refresh rate of 90Hz and a 120Hz experimental option.
