Valve's next headset has entered mass production and will ship this year, a Chinese analyst group claims.
The group, which calls itself XR Research Institute, claims that the launch is set for the holiday season, and estimates a production run of 400,000 to 600,000 units per year.
For comparison, that's roughly the production scale of Apple Vision Pro. Meanwhile, 2.5 million people have unlocked the achievement for completing the Quest 3 and Quest 3S introductory mixed reality experience after two years, and Quest 2 sold north of 20 million units over four years.
This apparently pretty reliable information. I always look forward to any hardware Steam puts out, but man we need better games and applications for VR. VR headsets have progressed fantastically, but there's hardly any full games to take advantage of the hardware.
