If you thought Meta was stepping away from the VR market after seemingly turning away from the Metaverse and closing 3 VR studios earlier this year, think again, buddy. It seems like the plan as of right now is to put out multiple headsets in the future, memory crisis be damned.
The news comes from the mouth of Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, who took to Instagram to answer questions (via UploadVR). When asked if Meta has given up on VR, he said, “No. We’ve talked about this a lot this year—kind of an odd comment. We’ve just updated the user interface profoundly for the first time in years. We’ve talked openly about the fact that we’re building multiple next-generation headsets.”
That’s true. In the Q4 earnings call for 2025, which was announced in January 2026, Meta CFO Susan Li said the company is still building future headsets. Bosworth also said a potential Meta Quest 4 would be on the way shortly after this earnings call. However, the closing of studios doesn’t exactly help her point. Bosworth addresses this point, saying, “We did get ourselves into a more sustainable shape, that’s true. But no. We continue to invest quite a bit there.”
Bosworth ends this answer by telling viewers to keep an eye on Meta Connect for more details. Meta Connect is Meta’s yearly conference, where it communicates plans for the company going forward to the rest of the world. This year it will happen on September 23 and 24, so we should expect an announcement or tease of at least one of the headsets by then.
