RAM crunch pushes Meta to hike Quest prices

Meta is hiking Quest headset prices due to a memory-chip shortage: starting April 19, the 128GB Quest 3S is $349.99, the 256GB Quest 3S is $449.99, and the Quest 3 is $599.99—up $50 on the 3S models and $100 on the base Quest 3. Refurbished units rise as well: 128GB refurb 3S $319.99, 256GB refurb 3S $409.99, and refurb Quest 3 $549.99 (+$170); accessories stay the same. Meta says memory costs are driving the change, and smart glasses aren’t seeing a price hike for now.

Steam Link Brings PC Gaming to Apple Vision Pro in Bold Beta

Valve has released an early beta of Steam Link for Apple Vision Pro, enabling PC gaming streaming directly to the headset via Big Picture with 120Hz refresh, eye-tracking, and pinch gestures; while visuals are crisp, there’s noticeable input latency and UI flicker, and performance depends on a fast home network and a capable PC. This beta signals Vision Pro’s potential as a more open, game-friendly platform, but it’s not yet polished and SteamVR support remains limited.

Rec Room to shut down as profitability remains elusive for social VR platform

Rec Room, the Seattle-based social gaming platform once valued at $3.5B, is closing on June 1 after failing to reach profitability despite serving more than 150 million players. The platform will halt new accounts, subscriptions, and monetization, with creator earnings ending in May and a final payout on June 1, as staff reductions from 2025 are part of the wind-down. Snap is reportedly acquiring assets as part of the shutdown.

Green Time, Brighter Minds: Nature Lowers Negative Emotions Across Real, VR, and Imagined Environments

A meta-analysis of 33 studies with 2,101 participants finds exposure to nature—outdoors, virtual reality, or imagined scenes—reduces negative emotions and supports brain health, with EEG and other neuroimaging data showing a more balanced emotional state. The researchers advocate integrating ‘Nature Rx’ into urban design to protect the population’s brain capital as urbanization rises.

Meta Ditches Horizon Worlds VR, Bets on Mobile and AI

Meta will shut Horizon Worlds’ VR experience on Quest headsets by June 15, 2026 (apps and events vanish from Quest by March 31), transitioning the platform to mobile-only. Purchases and user-created items stay tied to your account but will only work in mobile-optimized worlds, with VR-building ending after June 15. Meta says the move is part of a broader shift from VR-first development to AI and hardware, focusing on third-party developers and enhancing Quest features rather than exiting VR altogether.
