The Meta Quest 4 mixed-reality headset is rumored to be in development, expected to replace\u00a0Meta Quest 3<\/a> for those looking to upgrade, likely featuring some hardware improvements. Although Meta has not confirmed the new model, reports suggest there could be two versions planned.\n<\/p>\n When Will the Meta Quest 4 Be Released? <\/p>\n Similar to the Meta Quest Pro 2<\/a>, no official announcements have been made about the release date for Meta Quest 4. Most estimates predict a launch in either 2025 or 2026, potentially aligning with that year’s Meta Connect<\/a> event.<\/p>\n A report from The Information<\/a> suggests that a 2026 release is more likely. Additionally, it anticipates two versions of the Meta Quest 4 (a standard model and a premium version) to become available.<\/p>\n Lifewire\u2019s Release Date Estimate<\/p>\n Despite interest in a 2025 launch, Lifewire estimates a 2026 release date. This is mainly due to the lack of any official word from Meta as 2024 approaches its end.<\/p>\n Meta Quest 4 Price Rumors <\/p>\n Pricing is also challenging to determine, but it’s likely that Meta will aim to keep the Quest 4’s price near the $499.99 MSRP of the Meta Quest 3, especially if a standard and premium release is planned.<\/p>\n It can be assumed that the standard version will remain around $500, similar to the Quest 3, while the premium model may cost $50 to $100 more. There is speculation that the rumored cancellation of the Quest Pro 2 (possibly addressed by Meta’s CTO, Andrew Bosworth, in a Threads post<\/a>) is related to this premium version.<\/p>\n The two-model rumor could indicate a significant difference between Quest 4 models, with the premium edition possibly incorporating what might have been Quest Pro 2 technologies. We will only know for sure once Meta makes an official announcement.<\/p>\n Pre-Order Information <\/p>\n As Meta has not announced details about Meta Quest 4, no information on pre-orders is available at this time. However, similar to previous Meta Quest headsets, pre-orders will likely become available through the official website, potentially coinciding with the official announcement.<\/p>\n Meta Quest 4 Features <\/p>\n The features of Meta Quest 4 will likely be similar to, yet slightly improved over, Meta Quest 3. It’s unlikely that Meta would restrict access to its existing software library, so hundreds of apps and games should be usable immediately. Meta Quest 3 offers backward compatibility, and the same is expected for Quest 4. Furthermore:<\/p>\n Meta Quest 4 Specs and Hardware <\/p>\n The planned features for Meta Quest 4 (either potential model) remain speculative, but it’s likely the standard model will have slight improvements over Quest 3.<\/p>\n It’s probable that there will be 128GB and 512GB versions, with the larger storage option priced higher (perhaps $649.99 like the 512GB Quest 3?). Spatial audio from built-in stereo speakers also seems likely. Additionally, we may expect:<\/p>\n The Latest News About Meta Quest 4 <\/p>\n\n
