![]() ![]() ![]() Apple’s device is a step toward that large mainstream smart device market and so is Quest 3. Smart devices are a much larger market with more stingy customers (but due to the size of the market, there is still more money to be made, also via advertising). But this showcase is aimed at gamers and I don’t think Apple’s device is catering to them at all.Ĭore gaming is a large niche that makes good money. Lol, sure gamers will be all over this device they cannot afford and that doesn’t even have controllers.Īpple’s entry into XR is very welcome and will broaden the audience. ![]() Provided Apple indeed plans to announce its headset at WWDC, Meta could be looking to generate so called ‘strategic noise’ to better manage market reactions, and potentially offset any negative sentiment prior to Apple’s expected announcement-undoubtedly slated to be a pivotal moment for the entire XR industry. Meanwhile, previous reports maintain Apple is finally set to unveil its long rumored mixed reality headset during the company’s WWDC keynote, taking place on Monday, June 5th. Maybe Meta’s Sanzaru Games has slimmed down the Norse-inspired RPG? There could be at least one clue to what’s in store, as we get a brief glimpse at a horned helmet in the showcase’s promo video, which seems very much like Loki’s helmet from Rift exclusive Asgard’s Wrath (2019). There’s also set to be a post-show developer roundtable, which will feature conversation around upcoming games. Meta says to expect new game announcements, gameplay first-looks, updates to existing games, and more. Meta is livestreaming the Quest Gaming Showcase on June 1st, a bit unusual for the company, as it traditionally holds the annual event in late April.Ĭalling it their “biggest celebration of the depth and breadth of content across the Meta Quest Platform yet,” Meta is slated to share over 40 minutes of content, including a brand-new pre-show covering game updates and debut trailers, starting 15 minutes before the show begins. Meta announced its third annual Quest Gaming Showcase is arriving next month, coming only a few days before Apple’s rumored XR headset announcement at Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). ![]()
