The rumor mill is spinning out of control! After months of reports that Meta was pivoting away from traditional VR to focus on "Puffin" smart glasses and AI wearables, a series of leaked internal memos suggests the Quest 4 is officially back on the table—but with a major catch.
In this episode of Reality Bytes, we dissect the conflicting reports and what they mean for the future of the Quest lineup:
The "Gaming-First" Pivot: Why Meta reportedly scrapped its "Pismo" prototypes only to start fresh on a new, high-performance Quest 4.
The Puck Debate: Is the Quest 4 really moving to an external "compute puck" like the Apple Vision Pro? We discuss the trade-offs between a lighter headset and a wire in your pocket.
Controller-Free Future?: Rumors suggest Meta might ship the next flagship without controllers to hit an $800 price point. Is hand-tracking finally good enough for "pro" gaming?
Valve's Shadow: With the Valve Steam Frame launch looming, is Meta feeling the pressure to release a true "Quest 3" successor sooner than 2027?
Is Meta doubling down on VR, or just trying to keep us from switching to the Steam ecosystem? We’re breaking down the leaks.
