Despite major layoffs from Meta, the company has affirmed that its next-gen consumer headset, Quest 3, is planned for release this year. While it will adopt some of the features from Quest Pro, not all will make the leap. In November last year, Meta announced plans to reduce its workforce by 13%—a whopping 11,000 cut jobs.
