# Get Ready for the Meta Quest 3: A New Era in VR Gaming

Written on

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Meta Quest 3

In my previous articles, I've explored various fascinating aspects of VR and AR headsets. You can find those links at the end of this piece.

Today, let's dig into the exciting features of the upcoming Meta Quest 3, which is poised to be twice as powerful as the Quest 2! The much-anticipated Meta Connect Keynote has just unveiled details about this innovative mixed-reality headset. Meta is committed to elevating mixed-reality gaming and productivity, building on the impressive foundation laid by the Quest 2.

Remember back in June when Meta first teased the Quest 3? They revealed the price but kept us guessing about the specifics. Today's presentation has finally provided some thrilling updates. Get ready, because the Quest 3 will support Xbox Cloud Gaming!

Imagine relaxing with your Bluetooth controller, streaming Xbox Game Pass games on a virtual screen right in front of you. Picture enjoying a slice of pizza while you tackle virtual dragons—it's a gamer's paradise!

But there’s more. The Quest 3 enhances connectivity options. With Air Link, you'll effortlessly connect to your PC, and using a Quest Link Cable, you can dive into SteamVR games. Plus, don’t worry; your Quest 2 VR games and AR applications will remain compatible with the Quest 3.

Now, let's discuss visuals. The Quest 3 features pancake lenses that deliver a remarkable resolution of 2064 x 2208 per eye, similar to the Quest Pro. If smooth gameplay is a priority for you, you'll appreciate the 90Hz refresh rate, with an experimental 120Hz option to elevate the experience.

Check this out: the headset is equipped with RGB color passthrough cameras and a depth projector. This means you can stay connected to the real world while immersing yourself in virtual experiences. No more fumbling for your phone or risking a fall; you’ll have a virtual window to your surroundings.

The Quest 3 is powered by a Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, offering double the GPU processing power for rapid load times. A live demo at the keynote showcased the Quest 2 versus the Quest 3 in Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, with the Quest 3 outperforming the older model in draw distances and load times.

Here’s a game-changer: the passthrough camera creates a map of your environment, enabling mixed-reality games like Stranger Things to blend digital elements with your physical space. Imagine opening portals in your living room or displaying your Beat Saber achievements in a virtual trophy showcase. The opportunities are limitless.

The Quest 3 provides around 2.2 hours of gaming enjoyment. Additionally, you can purchase a charging dock for $150 that will wirelessly charge both your headset and controllers. If you prefer traditional methods, AA batteries for the controllers are still an option.

Meta is also targeting the corporate sector. Next year, they plan to launch a suite of productivity applications, aiming to attract businesses to the virtual workspace. Say goodbye to mundane offices and hello to virtual boardrooms!

Now, about pricing: pre-orders for the Quest 3 start at $500 for the 128GB model, and the 512GB version will cost $650. Shipping begins on October 10. As a bonus, each Quest 3 purchase includes a free copy of Ashard's Wrath 2, a fantasy FPS melee adventure game. Let the gaming begin!
