Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has announced that it will hold its third annual Meta Quest Gaming showcase on June 1 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET. This event is expected to last over 40 minutes, with a new pre-show of game updates and debut trailers 15 minutes before the main show.
What to Expect
The Meta Quest Gaming showcase will be hosted by Oculus Studios executive producer Ruth Bram. Meta has not revealed much about the upcoming event, but promises a post-show developer roundtable and deep-dive conversation around upcoming games. Additionally, attendees can expect new game announcements, gameplay footage, and updates to existing games during the show.
New Pre-Show
As mentioned, the pre-show is set to feature game updates and debut trailers 15 minutes before the main show. With less than a month before the event, it will be interesting to see what Meta has in store for its upcoming and existing games.
Post-Show Developer Roundtable
Following the main show, there will be a developer roundtable in which attendees can look forward to hearing more about the inner workings of game development from industry experts.
Looking Ahead
Meta’s latest gaming event follows the company’s recent price reductions on its VR headset models, the Meta Quest 2 and the Meta Quest Pro. The 256GB model of both headsets is now more affordable than ever and could be an excellent investment for gamers looking to dive into the world of virtual reality. Additionally, some of the most popular games for the headset include Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond and Resident Evil 4 VR.
It is worth noting that the short video clip teasing the upcoming event shows a desert area with what appears to be Loki’s helmet. This could be a hint that Sanzaru Games, which made Asgard’s Wrath for the Oculus Rift, is involved in the production of new games for Meta. The studio was acquired by Meta back in 2020 and became part of Oculus Studios.
Final Thoughts
The Meta Quest Gaming showcase is set to be an exciting event for gamers looking to explore new and existing virtual reality games. Attendees will receive updates on upcoming game releases, gameplay footage, and a post-show developer roundtable. With less than a month until the event, fans are eagerly awaiting the new pre-show, which could reveal even more surprises.
