Nothing screams 4/20 like wandering aimlessly around your room, possibly to self-induced nausea, basking in the happy vision of another world. You may be using recreational substances, or you may have a VR brain bucket strapped to your head. If this is your good time, you might want to tune in to today’s Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, where Meta is expected to showcase new games and maybe even some new metaverse details.
You can watch Meta’s Quest Gaming Showcase at the Facebook link below or on YouTube or Twitch.
Meta’s Quest Gaming Showcase will begin around 1:00 PM EST (10 AM PST) and will be streamed live in VR on Facebook, Twitch, YouTube and Horizon Venues. Meta didn’t provide many details on what viewers can expect, other than vaguely hinting that the event will include “all-new game announcements, first look at the game, and exciting updates for upcoming games next year.”
Previous reports have suggested that this year’s event may feature updates and gameplay The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2as well as all-time classic VR renditions such as between us and GTA San Andreas. The creators of Among Us VR confirmed at the end of March that they would be participating in the event. It’s also worth keeping an eye on any new changes Meta might make to its Horizon Worlds mervaverse, especially with reports that the company spent about $10 billion on its metaverse technology last year. Though less likely, VR headset enthusiasts may want to hang on to the end and see if the company will reveal more details about the Project Cambria hardware it revealed late last year.
Today’s event marks the second annual installment of Meta’s Quest Gaming Showcase.At last year’s event, the company released several high-end VR games, including Resident Evil 4, Star Wars: A Story at Galaxy’s Edge Part II, Pistol Whip, Smoke and Thunder + Concierge, and more. The event came about a year after Meta released its Oculus Quest 2 headset, and served as a touchstone to showcase new products that were racing to showcase the hardware’s capabilities.
