It also anticipates two versions of the Meta Quest 4\u2014a standard model and a premium version.\n<\/p>\n<p> Lifewire\u2019s Release Date Estimate<\/p>\n<p>Despite interest in a 2025 launch, Lifewire estimates a 2026 release date due to the lack of official word from Meta as 2025 nears its end.<\/p>\n<p>  Meta Quest 4 Price Rumors  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Pricing is tricky to pin down, but Meta will likely aim to keep the Quest 4&#8217;s price near the $499.99 MSRP of the Meta Quest 3, especially if both standard and premium versions are planned.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The standard version is expected to be around $500, similar to the Quest 3, while the premium model may cost $50 to $100 more. Speculation suggests the rumored cancellation of the Quest Pro 2, possibly addressed by Meta&#8217;s CTO, Andrew Bosworth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@boztank\/post\/C_BS8BuPfQZ?xmt=AQGzzqJ5951iwMFcuvjvdOOLZJu7dmErjUuOK-bgtLgwbQ\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a Threads post<\/a>, is related to this premium version.<\/p>\n<p>The two-model rumor suggests a significant difference between Quest 4 models, with the premium edition potentially featuring technologies from the rumored Quest Pro 2. We&#8217;ll only know once Meta makes an official announcement.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Pre-Order Information  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Since Meta hasn&#8217;t announced details about Meta Quest 4, there&#8217;s no information on pre-orders. Like previous Meta Quest headsets, pre-orders will likely become available on the official website, potentially coinciding with the official announcement.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Meta Quest 4 Features  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Meta Quest 4 features will likely mirror and slightly improve upon Meta Quest 3. It&#8217;s unlikely Meta will restrict access to the 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.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Meta Quest 4 Specs and Hardware  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The planned features for either potential Meta Quest 4 model are speculative, but the standard model will likely have slight improvements over Quest 3.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> There will likely be 128GB and 512GB versions, with the larger storage option priced higher (possibly $649.99 like the 512GB Quest 3). Spatial audio from built-in stereo speakers is also expected. Additionally, we may see:\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li>At least 8 GB of DRAM, though improvements between Quest 2 and Quest 3 suggest Quest 4 could have more. Presumably, the premium model will have over 8 GB, if such a model is indeed planned.<\/li>\n<li>Full-color mixed reality cameras with approximately 18 pixels per degree (PPD), similar to Quest 3, with potential for higher PPD in the rumored premium model.<\/li>\n<li>Continued use of the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, currently in Quest 3, appears likely. However, a new Qualcomm Snapdragon chip could be available by the release time.<\/li>\n<li>Continued support for refresh rates of 72 Hz, 80 Hz, 90 Hz, and 120 Hz is likely.<\/li>\n<li>Eye tracking, absent in Meta Quest 3, could potentially be included in the supposed premium version of Quest 4.<\/li>\n<li>Operates on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/meta-horizon-os-8637028\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta Horizon OS<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  The Latest VR News  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/virtual-augmented-and-mixed-reality-news-8677549\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find more news about virtual, augmented, and mixed reality at Lifewire<\/a>.
