Considering the new headset will include AR experiences, it’s said to be very expensive at launch. With the Meta Quest 2 price increase earlier this year, the future of virtual reality is set to become quite expensive. While the new headset will likely be the star of the event, we’ll also likely hear about new VR games coming to the system.
