There Won’t Be an Oculus Pro in 2021
In a recent Twitter Spaces Q&A (transcribed by Upload VR), Andrew Bosworth, Oculus Vice President, said:
You can’t really get much clearer than that. For now, the focus is on the Oculus Quest 2 (and the Quest 1, to a degree). Given that Facebook has only just revealed the Air Link connectivity for Quest 2, it makes sense that the most recent iteration of the VR platform is Facebook’s focus.
Will There Ever Be an Oculus Quest 3?
This is where things get interesting. Yes, Bosworth has denied that there is a Quest 3 or Quest Pro in development for a 2021 release. However, he also said:
So, we won’t be getting a Quest 3 or Pro this year, but Facebook is constantly working on developing extra features for the platform. If you want to experience VR, though, Quest 2 is the way to go. The Oculus VP says:
We can expect the Oculus Quest 2 to be around for some time before we see any hint of an Oculus 3 or Pro model.
Will You Be Investing in the Oculus Ecosystem?
You have to admit, it is a very exciting time for VR platforms, and Oculus is no exception (especially with the recent announcement that Resident Evil 4 will be coming to the platform as a first person VR exclusive title).
If you’re considering buying into the Oculus experience, then now is the time to do so. It is an easy-access platform, which is the perfect way for anyone to experience VR for the first time.
