Meta Connect 2026 Live Blog – What's Next for VR?

Just a week after the Steam Frame presented Valve's vision for VR gaming, Meta is getting ready to take the stage at Meta Connect 2026.

While I don't imagine the Meta Quest 4 will be headlining, there have been a ton of rumors swirling around about its XR 'Phoenix' headset. This would essentially be a VR headset that seems to be more focused on passive entertainment than gaming. The company will also likely have new smart glasses, and will spend a huge amount of time talking about AI.

I'd love to see Meta at least tease a Meta Quest 4. Its current-generation Meta Quest 3 headset is still one of the most cost-effective ways to get into VR. However, because the Quest 3 and 3S haven't gone up in price, it's possible that Meta will avoid even mentioning a next-generation version, due to the cost increases it'd likely have to bear.

If you'd like to watch Meta Connect 2026 keynote yourself, it will be streamed on Meta's website, or on Facebook at 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT on September 29. I will be updating this article live, so if you won't want to watch Zuckerberg talk about AI for an hour, you can just stay tuned here, and I'll do it for you.

5:30pm: Meta Connect 2026 officially starts in about an hour and a half. I'm already bracing myself for a heaping of AI features. But, hopefully we'll get some cool hardware too.
