Meta announced it's opening up the Quest's operating system to third-party companies, allowing them to build headsets of their own. The Quest OS is being rebranded to Meta Horizon OS and already has two companies interested.
ASUS' Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand is working on new "performance gaming" headsets, while Lenovo's focus is on devices for "productivity, learning and entertainment." However, most intriguingly, perhaps, Meta says it's also working on a limited-edition Xbox "inspired" Quest headset. (Microsoft and Meta also worked together recently to bring Xbox cloud gaming to the Quest.) While this could just be a reskinned Quest 3, this collaboration could lead to future headsets made entirely for Microsoft's consoles. If PlayStation can have VR, then surely Xbox can too.
